Jeremy

Eh, It's alright; kind of boring though. Also, to me, it sounds like germ haha. (not insulting the name, but that's just what I think of when I hear it)

That's a really nice name. I love the sound of this name and the association with Jeremy Zucker. My favorite song is "all the kids are depressed" by Jeremy Zucker.

My dad's name is Jeremy. I really like it but I feel like it doesn't fit on a child. (Yes I know my dad was once a child. The name just seems kind of old. Doesn't mean it's a bad name)

Too old.

I am a Jeremy and I like the name. I don't care how people say it.

Nerdy/dorky name.

I like this name. Very handsome, strong, and classic.

I think Jeremy is a nice name. The meaning: “God will uplift” makes it even better, in my opinion.

Jeremy Corbyn.

It's strong and handsome.

Horrible.

This name is handsome as always, and really cute on a little boy, yet strong on an adult man.

To me it’s just boring and common. I don’t find there to be anything special about it, and know so many people with the name. It’s not awful, just very forgettable.

This is my father's name. And Jeremy reminds me of a kind person, like my dad. I think it is funny when my friends mis-pronounce it "Germy".

Sorry, but it sounds like "Germy" but I guess you could pronounce it "Jer-em-ee".

Jeremy is a great name!

Jeremy is one of the best names out there!

The name Jeremy is handsome and strong. Sophisticated, yet still youthful. A “Jeremy” is a “Jem” of a man.

Sounds a bit like the word "germy" which kinds puts me off from this name.

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 know several guys with this name, but I've never liked it. Not a very strong name. It always reminds me of the suicidal kid in that Pearl Jam song. I prefer Jason.

Nerdy stereotypical name.

I don't care for this name, but Jeremy Irons is one hot guy!

I don't really like this name that much, whenever I hear it all I can think of is JER-me.

This is my boyfriend's name. At first I thought it was a little nerdy or somewhat strange, but he gives the name a whole new meaning to me. My son will be Jeremy named after his daddy :)

My husband's name is Jeremy. I personally think that if it is said correctly, it has too many syllables for a guy name (3).

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

This is my father's name, except he spells it Jeramie. I've always thought his spelling was unique, though he does often have problems with people spelling it crazy wrong. I like the spelling Jeremy too, but I'm partial to Jeramie.

A little nerdy, but that's what I like about the name. Gives a real intelligent appearance.

Such a gentle and sweet name. I like it.

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.

This is basically the 1980s version of Liam: a common, long-standing British name that became overly trendy in the U.S. There are worse names, but this is very dated, at least in North America.

It is a nice name. It is making a comeback.

I can never pronounce this name right. EVER! I always say germy, I don't mean it offesivly! It just comes out like that. I tried to say his name how everybody else says it, and I totally slaughtered it! It sounds bad when I pronounce it germy, but it sounds even worse when I try to say it right!

I like the name, I think it's rather pleasant.

I like this name okay but it is so common I don't think I would call my child this. I like the sound and meaning, though. Interesting (or important) that the prophet Jeremiah's name meant this even though he had such a hard life.

Jeremy's a nice name.

I love this name, it symbolizes so much, creativity, gentleness - but strength. My former boyfriend's name is Jeremy. I love him and his name.

I was going to going to have a brother named Jeremy but he didn't make it. So I treasure this name.

It may mean 'God has uplifted', but the people I know named 'Jeremy' are not so well off. They are very nice boys, though, Some of them, anyhow.

I love having this name and wouldn't dream of changing it. It's not too common which I also like.

Jeremy is an awesome name for a boy, rugged, handsome and gentle. I prefer it over Jeremiah.

I have always loved this name. It is gentle but still masculine sounding.

I like this name when pronounced with *three* syllables. I go batty when people call out JER-mee (or worse: GER-mee, as if the guy is some infectious leper); it makes my eyes twitch. *chuckles* But, hey, to each their own. If you like the shorter pronunciation... ((shrugs))

Why would anyone pronounce Jeremy as JER-mee? Do they like being teased?
