Why would anyone pronounce Jeremy as JER-mee? Do they like being teased?

Jeremy is not the way a friend of mine spells his name. His is spelled like this Jereme.

I like this name when pronounced with *three* syllables. I go batty when people call out JER-mee (or worse: GER-mee, as if the guy is some infectious leper); it makes my eyes twitch. *chuckles* But, hey, to each their own. If you like the shorter pronunciation... ((shrugs))

I like this name okay but it is so common I don't think I would call my child this. I like the sound and meaning, though. Interesting (or important) that the prophet Jeremiah's name meant this even though he had such a hard life.

I can never pronounce this name right. EVER! I always say germy, I don't mean it offesivly! It just comes out like that. I tried to say his name how everybody else says it, and I totally slaughtered it! It sounds bad when I pronounce it germy, but it sounds even worse when I try to say it right!

This is basically the 1980s version of Liam: a common, long-standing British name that became overly trendy in the U.S. There are worse names, but this is very dated, at least in North America.

When I was growing up, there was a kid down the street named Jeremy. We definitely called him Germ-y, but he and my brother were kind of pranksters. Just sayin'. People always want to know the derogatory nicknames on this site.

If you have a really sweet genuine kid, the name Jeremy shouldn't be a problem. If he turns out obnoxious or wild, be prepared for Germy and kids to thinking he is dirty and not want to come near him.

Such a gentle and sweet name. I like it.

A little nerdy, but that's what I like about the name. Gives a real intelligent appearance.

I like the name Jeremy because it's different and original. I have only met 2 Jeremy's in my life, 1 of which is my boyfriend. I think to have a name like Jeremy, the surname has to fit perfectly with it. But, all in all, it is an awesome name :D

I love this name, but it takes a certain type of man to make it work. It's seen as a bit of a 'dorky' name, I understand, but I can just as easily picture a boy named Jeremy becoming popular at school. It's also the name of a family friend, so it sort of has a special meaning to me.
