Re: Jerome
I think it's difficult to say out loud. Enough that it would bother me a little, living with someone named it. I guess if the J was pronounced zh, it would be less gruff sounding.I never noticed that it was basically the same name as Hieronymus and also Geronimo, though. Interesting.- mirfak

if somebody had a kid named Geronimo ...And yelled out the door for him, the neighbors would run to see if they were going to jump off something high.

Thank you! As much as I like the name there was something niggling at me. I think it's a combination of the unapproachable vibe and difficulty in saying it.I think I'll just get a good book on Jerome & Paula
