We just named our new son Jerome, more or less a family tradition.
The confusing part is that his grandfather is named Jerry on his
birth certificate, and I'm also a Jerry. My wife figuring that Jerry
is really a nickname, ao we named him Jerome to keep it more formal. I
guess Jerry can be a nickname for Geronimo etc...
We went along with this at the time and didn't think much of it.
However, we are finding that some people call him Jerome, some people
call him Jerry, and some use his initials JJ. Poor little guy is
getting confused.
Anyway, will try to stick with Jerome and see what happens. Does
anyone have any history on "Jerome" ? I know it's some Catholic
saint's name and he was known to be the translator of the bible.
His attributes were that he was quiet yet knowledgeable. Before
this time, I have no info.
Thanks in advance.

Oops, I blew it, its too late on Friday p.m. to be thinking I guess.
Jerome is Latin for sacred or Holy name,
Milo is Latin for miller.

The babyname book I have also says Jerome means masculine. | |||||

In France, where I live, as a matter of fact, JEROME means masculine.
And it doesn't exist a feminine gender.

I'm afraid the only Jerome I've ever heard of is the name of the
giraffe on the 'Friendly Giant' t.v. show I watched as a kid.
Jerome is a very nice giraffe. If your son had a chance to watch
this show perhaps he would focus on Jerome over 'Jerry' and 'J.J.',
eliminating some of his confusion.
If he's really being confused, I'd be inclined to inform those
concerned that "His name is Jerome, not Jerry or J.J. Please stop
confusing him.".
