Being a geek, I check babynames.com when I'm bored at work, and todays name of the day is Jeronimo. Try as I might, I cannot see this as a name.

WDYT?

Yikes! Wouldn't it be spelled Geronimo? Personally, I think if you're going to do it, you can at least spell it correctly.

P.S. You're totally not a geek. I have about five baby names sites that I check daily. ;)

I agree, it should be spelled Geronimo. And I can't see it as a name either. Maybe a middle name if you like the guy. But everyone would be shouting "GERONIMOOOOOOOO!!!" at the poor kid.

LOL. Okay. My mom's maiden name was Gerolomo. She was called "Geronimo" until she got married.
no. just no.

I check sites like that, too all the time

Yeah, it's definitely the attempt at an updated spelling that's throwing me off. Or whatever the heck they're doing with that J.

That's too funny. My dad's name is Jerry and he was called Jeronimo by his siblings a lot when he was growing up. But no, I would never name a kid that! Especially not with that spelling!

It's one of those things where one time it was a name and then it became something else and cannot be taken seriously anymore. Kind of like TV show theme songs. *I'll be there for yoooou!* lol

Definitely a no-no. The kids may not get the reference, but adults will, and will most likely tease him.
