DH and I are seriously struggling to agree on names for DS2. We chose DD and DS1 without any difficulty at all, their names were chosen before 12 week scans and were right straight away. Not so this time. Our tastes seem to have divulged massively!
Anyway we both like Jeremy but DH says he will be nn Jerry which i HATE, I would go with Jem as a nn which DS doesn't like..... AAAAhhhhhh!Should we just try and find another name?
If we do find one we both like DH decides against it within 24hours, it is SO frustrating. We still have ages but as we were so prepared before it feels strange. P.S I am up against his choices of names such as Bernard, Bertram, Percy, Cuthbert, Alan.....
Thanks!
Whiz.

I love Jem, but Jeremy is also cool. Likely to be Jez as a teenager though I suspect unless already shortened to something else . . .

I think it's a great name. We would have considered it had DD been a boy. NN Jed for us.

Both the Jeremys I know are called Jem.

No need for a nickname. Love the name but everyone else seemed to hate it when I suggested it and put me off at the time (have 2 DS). As you can see I eventually used it on the cat and people now comment on him having a nice name!

I adore the name Jeremy! I'd still choose it and use the full version! ..and make sure everyone else does too!!! x
