Hieronymus! Nicknames & Combos?

Boy Names
1

I fell for [name]Hieronymus[/name] today! [name]Don[/name]'t you just love new name crushes?

Can anyone think of possible nicknames besides [name]Hero[/name], [name]Ron[/name], and [name]Ronnie[/name]?

Thoughts on any of these combos? [name]Feel[/name] free to suggest some!

[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Bram[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Tristram[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Rupert[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Roan[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Elliott[/name]
[name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Jack[/name] (I quite like this one!)

The Dutch version is [name]Jeroen[/name] - prn as Yuh-roon

3

[name]Jerome[/name]
Boschie

4

[name]Rony[/name]? [name]Ro[/name]-nee not [name]Ron[/name]-ee.

I immediately thought “Bosch”, of course!

I think big, baroque, unusual names like [name]Hieronymus[/name] work best with pared-down middles. [name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]George[/name] sounds a lot better than [name]Hieronymus[/name] [name]Valerian[/name] (of course, being the name nerd I am, I fell for the latter combo immediately upon typing it out…but it does sound more like a Renaissance philosopher than a modern-day kindergartner).

As for short forms, how about Nym?

Damn, now I’m falling for [name]Hieronymus[/name]! I’ll add it to my “Nameberry Made Me [name]Do[/name] It” list alongside [name]Ignatius[/name] and [name]Willoughby[/name]…

It just sounds like a word instead of name to me and I don’t see the appeal at all. Sounds like something along the lines of posthumous and seems silly on an adult… I MUCH prefer [name]Hiram[/name]. Which could be a nn for this, I suppose.

I appreciate the replies. :slight_smile:

augusta_lee - Thanks for your comments. I was taking a risk making this thread, since I know [name]Hieronymus[/name] is hardly going to get great feedback, so I was happy to at least see your delightful comments! Nym is great nickname too, thanks. So now it’s [name]Hero[/name], [name]Ron[/name]/[name]Ronnie[/name], Nym… and I suppose Nymus/Nemus would work as well. (Random: Nemus is latin for glade/grove/forest. Pretty cool.)
