Jermaine

The word "germane", same pronunciation, means "relevant."

Okay, let's just stick with Germaine.

Horrible.

People sometimes have my name confused with this name when my name has 7 letters with a "U" between the "J" and "M".

I have to say that I love this name, powerful and smooth in my opinion. I also am a fan of Jermaine Jackson and Jermaine Dupri too.

I like and admire this name well enough but I just HATE that it's associated as a "black" name far too often. Like, you can't name a child or a character this without people assuming he's of African descent. And it does not help at all that any famous Jermaines are almost always black- if not every time.

I like the sound of the name Jermaine. :) Of course, I think of Jermaine Jackson. I wouldn't personally use this name though.

This name seems as dated as the Jackson 5 to me. Jermaine Jackson infamously named his own child "Jermajesty."

When I hear this name I can only ever think of Jermaine Jackson!
