Re: Jerome

Love, love, love. One of my top names for a boy, but my husband wasn't a fan.
We used to have a poster who insisted it was a black name and therefore unusable for a white child. Bizarre.
Checked the comments and found this gem:
Mentioned to someone that I thought this would be a nice name for a son in the future, and the person I was talking to cracked up telling me it's only a name for a black man, which wouldn't be the case for me unless I adopted... But if you look at the history of the name you certainly don't need an African background to use it. Still, if you live in the US and aren't black and use this name for your son, be prepared for possible confusion.
