The name Jerry is charming and unique! It also can be associated with the hit ice cream brand, Ben and Jerry’s! This sweet connotation makes Jerry an even more melodic name. Jerry can be a beautiful nickname for Gerald, but I’ve thought up some endearing nicknames for the nickname itself: Jerry Turnover, Jer-Bear, Dinglejerry, Jerry the Jolly Good Fellow, and Jerrydactyl! Overall, Jerry is a wonderful name for anyone looking to have fun!

The Character Jerry from the Television show Tom and Jerry is a Mouse, and he always likes to cause mischief whenever he can, he's a pest. Tom is a cat, and he can be rude to Jerry. He also tries to murder Jerry sometimes, but in some episodes you can see Jerry asking Tom to chase him. In the end I guess they're frenemies who have a love-hate relationship. (I like that show)

I don't care for this name, but at least it looks normal on a guy. I really hate this spelling on girls, since it looks too boyish. Why not spell it Geri or Jeri to look more feminine? And the association with the hideous actor Jerry O'Connell totally puts me off.

The Left Behind series for adults, the Left Behind series for children, the Red Rock mysteries for youth, and many others.
