Better than Jeremy if you want a Jerry son, but I actually prefer Geraldine.

Deenie - what a nice idea! Most Geraldines I've known have done without a nn, but I did meet one who was known as Dinky. Not quite as bad as it sounds - it's an Anglo version of the standard Afrikaans diminutive ending, usually written as -tjie.

My parents knew a Dinky once. I don't think I ever heard what it was short for. I think she was English / British, but she could have been from South Africa or had those roots.
