Jerry can be used on girls. It was my great aunt's name.

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!
As a female name, it is usually spelled Jeri. However, this name can be spelled either way for a female or male. My brother, my dad, and my son are all named Jerry. We love it!
It was an okay name at first glance, but then I began to dislike this name. Jeremiah/Jeremy is better. It’s a hurricane name and was used in 1989, 1995, 2001, 2007, and 2013. It’s scheduled to be used again in 2019.
It kind of irritates me that Jerry as an independent name is more common than Jerome and Gerald in the US. Jerry sounds more like a nickname to me.

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.
A pretty decent name for a boy, but I don't like it (or its variations, like Jeri) for a girl.

My name is Jerry and I'm female. I was named after my Grandma Jerry (real name Myrtle). She just liked the name Jerry, so everyone called her that! I'm very honored to be her namesake. I wouldn't change my name, nor the spelling for anything.
