Boys name - pls help

[K1]

I think if you spell it Jerryd, its more likely they'll get Jerry as a nick name, so if you are happy with that? As a another alternative spelling, a friend of mine is Gerrard (with two r's rather than one). Jerryd definatley looks more modern, however I imagine you may have to get used of some people spelling it incorrectly.

BTW - good luck on the 12th, I'm due that day too

to me spelling it with the G i would pronounce it Gerard and think of an old person when spelling it with J i would pronounce Jerryd!

Gerard definately!!

I think Jerryd looks awful. He will also have to spell his name to people his whole life and that isn't fun. I have to do it with my surname.

The only other spelling i can think of is Jerrod.

When I see the two together they sound completely different (even though you are taking one name from another IYKWIM).

My cousins DH is a Gerrard...and he gets the nickname Gerry.

I don't know if I really like the look of Jerryd - to me, it may as well be Jared....something completely different and not particuarly unusual.

Good luck on the 12th Jan
