It's alright; feels masculine to me. I'd categorize it as a place name, biblical yes, but not necessarily religious. Lots of nickname possibilities to play with: J, Jay, Jerry, Joe, Arrow/Ero, Echo, Ric, Rico, Rio?

For a middle, I'm thinking something no-nonsense, maybe...

I like it and slightly prefer it for a boy, because I've only seen it used as a masculine name...there's a poet named Jericho Brown; it makes me think of him.

---

IMO, for a boy it seems more religious (not OTT; just kind of like a masculine version of Bethany). When I think of it used for a girl, I get more of a sci-fi vibe.

---

I think it'd go well with lots of styles of MNs. Jericho Azalea and Jericho Keturah are the 1st couple that came to mind for a girl.

Jericho is a cool name, definitely not one you see / hear everyday. I like it better than Jeremy. However, I cannot fathom it on a girl (don't even like Jeri for a girl, to be honest - that "Jair" sound is, imo, totally masculine).

As for combos, how about...

All I can think of is a song that we sang in elementary school, "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling do--o--o--o--wn".

I don't like it because of the "Jer" sound, which is why I don't like Gerald or Jerry, either. And I'm really surprised it's a girl, it seems very masculine to me.
