I’m surprised that a lot of people think this name is nerdy. My late husband was very good looking (a “chick magnet”). I was always proud when I introduced him. He would have been 45 right now. We named our little boy (who is 17) Jeremy at my insistence. I’ve always thought it was a sexy and attractive name - even before I met my husband. Makes me sad that people have negative comments about it, and I do not agree!

I have liked this name since Bobby Sherman played Jeremy Bolt on the 1960's TV show Here Come the Brides. It made Bobby Sherman an instant teen heartthrob/idol and the name Jeremy popular when the preteens and young teen girls who drooled over him grew up and had children. It was not a popular name in the 60's but became more common in the 70's and 80's.

I love this name, but it takes a certain type of man to make it work. It's seen as a bit of a 'dorky' name, I understand, but I can just as easily picture a boy named Jeremy becoming popular at school. It's also the name of a family friend, so it sort of has a special meaning to me.

I like the name Jeremy because it's different and original. I have only met 2 Jeremy's in my life, 1 of which is my boyfriend. I think to have a name like Jeremy, the surname has to fit perfectly with it. But, all in all, it is an awesome name :D

When I was growing up, there was a kid down the street named Jeremy. We definitely called him Germ-y, but he and my brother were kind of pranksters. Just sayin'. People always want to know the derogatory nicknames on this site.
If you have a really sweet genuine kid, the name Jeremy shouldn't be a problem. If he turns out obnoxious or wild, be prepared for Germy and kids to thinking he is dirty and not want to come near him.
