Jerome nn Rome would be quite cute! My fave combos are:

---

Jerome Archibald
Jerome Barnabas
Jerome Barnaby
Jerome Basil
Jerome Casper
Jerome Edwin
Jerome Elliot
Jerome Felix
Jerome Francis
Jerome Hugo
Jerome Isaac
Jerome Louis
Jerome Lucas
Jerome Oliver
Jerome Oscar
Jerome Silas
Jerome Victor
Jerome Zebedee

Jerome...uncommon yet simple, classic, and you are right that Rome and Romy make amazing nicknames. I think Jerome Antony is brilliant!

Jerome is a very dashing, handsome name! Combos I especially like from your list:

Jerome Barnabas
Jerome Felix
Jerome Ferdinand
Jerome Godfrey
Jerome Hugo
Jerome Isaac
Jerome Lazarus
Jerome Niles
Jerome Pascal
Jerome Quentin
Jerome Victor
Jerome Wallace

Oh, yes, Romy as a nickname, I love it. Not too fond of Rome though. Jerome itself is a pretty nice name, I'm not sure I really like the way it sounds. I also prefer to spell it Jérôme. Jerome Etienne (Jérôme Étienne!) is a very nice combo and I like the French feel but I think Jerome Constantine is my favorite from your list of combos.

I never thought about using Romy as a nn for Jerome. If parents of little girls can pinch boy names as nns, then turn-about is fair play. Jerome, nn Romy, is fun.

I love the calm / coolness of Jerome. But I admit I love the quirkiness of Hieronymus more. My favorites from your smorgasbord:

---

Jerome Cecil
Jerome Francis
Jerome Leslie (take that, gender thieves)
Jerome Oscar (makes me feel all Jerome Kern-ish)
Jerome Wallace

:-D
