Anglicized as Darby or Jeremiah.
Ugly name.
Pronounced DUR-mit.
I like this version better than Diarmuid. Even though I usually dislike anglicized names, Diarmuid reminds me of a prissy little boy, while Dermot seems like a stronger name.
Dermot is the name of the pug who won the toy group @ the Westminister Dog show in 2005(?). He was the first pug to win the Toy Group there.
The name sounds ultra-Irish to me, and thus a bit out of place elsewhere, even if the person was born in Ireland or has Irish parents. It's not such a horrible name desoite the long schwa, as the Irish pronunciation sounds kind of cute, but it is old-fashioned, and likely to sound ugly elsewhere.
Kermit is a form of Dermot. While I love Kermit the frog, I wouldn't name a child Kermit, but I would name a child Dermot.
British T4 presenter Dermot O'Leary. I love him!
Famous bearer is actor Dermot Mulroney.
