ArchivesRe: Full name for Jerry
in reply to a message by Kit Snicket
This depends on when and where in history you are talking about.
During the 20th century in the USA the most common full name for a Jerry would have been Gerald.
Back in the 18th and 19th century in Ireland it would probably have been Jeremiah, and Jeremiah itself would have been the "English" name replacement for the Irish name Diarmaid.
Jerry has also been the most common pet form of Gerard and Jerome in the 20th century, but usually neither of those was as common as an official name as Gerald was.
