Jerome and Anita
I've loved Jerome for quite a while - the sound is just wonderful, but Anita is new. I think it's dated, but cute. I'd call her Nita.Jerome is a bit grown-up, anyone have a good nickname? (Could Jem work?)Thanks! (And I really don't care if people see Jerome as a black name. I don't, and I wouldn't care either way)

I love Jerome! I don't see it as a black name either, not that it matters all that much, but just sayin'. I like Rome as a nn, but I'd probably just end up saying Jerome most of the time.Anita is nice; very simple and classy. I would normally picture an older woman with the name, but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a little Anita / Nita running around.

I have been liking Jerome for a little while as well. I think Jem could work - its a nn for Jeremiah a lot and "Jem" really isnt in that name either. Although, I dont think it needs a nn.Anita is okay. It was my Spanish name in high school but again, no nn is needed.

Yay! I'm not the only one who adores the name Jerome - though I much prefer it spelled Jérôme and pronounced the French way. How about Rome for a NN? Jem is OK, too. Anyways, I think Jérôme is plain gorgeous.Anita is just OK to me - I actually prefer mere Nita to it.

I'd think it fabulous if I met a young sibling pair with these names! :) I'm not overly in love with either name separately, but they are definitely refreshing. Never thought of Jem as a nn for Jerome, but I really like it. As for Anita, the mn and ln could be tricky since it sounds so much like "I need a". :-/

I'm delighted to see Jerome & Anita. Both names are simply gorgeous & so under-used. I don't think of Jerome as a 'black' name at all.Nick names for Jerome

Jo/Joey(Jem is too girly for my liking, but it works.)

Jerome is fairly usual im my area (French speaking)-nice name. And I know a woman named Anita. A good name too.

I think Jerome is a perfectly handsome name no matter who wears it. I really like it, and I think Jem would work well. I also like Rome/Roam/Romy in theory, but I don't know that it'd work out as well in practice.I'd love to meet an Anita, though it's not one I'd consider myself. Nita is cute as a button. Both are fabulous, in other words. :DArray
