HelpRe: Jerome and Marcel
in reply to a message by Joiya
I've been fond of Jerome since I was very young, partly because of the sound and feel of the name, but also influenced by one of my favorite story books:

Never have understood why it isn't more popular.
Marcel isn't a personal favorite on paper, but I used to know a very sweet boy by the name so I have good associations; I think he'd be about college age now.
I also quite like Gerard, though I do prefer the first syllable stressed, personally. Of the names you mention, I think Jerome and Marcel are most interesting together as siblings, but Gerard and Marcel work nicely too.

I thought about this - I have never considered stressing the first syllable of Gerard before. I tried all weekend to pronounce it (annoyed DH all weekend too!). I just think my accent doesn't manage that sound well. Quite interesting pronuciation though - I like both.
In any case - thanks for the Jerome and Marcel comments too.
