Help[Opinions] Jerry
Replies
Makes me think of Seinfeld. Jerri or Jerrie might work better for a girl but feels very nicknamey.
There is nothing wrong with it, it's just not my style.
I don't like it as a standalone name, but I think it's fine as a diminutive form of, for example, Gerald or Jeremy. But I do like it a bit more than I did before due to the retro sound of it. I think it could come back one day.
It's alright. It's friendly and approachable, but not very interesting. I wouldn't use it as a full name. I prefer Jared.
It’s okay. I think it’s better as a nickname, such as for Jeremiah.

I love Jerry. It was enormously popular in North America, peaking in the 1940s, so it has a very familiar, retro sound to it. It is kind of a silly name, but I like that about it; it's very bright and energetic. And it's outdated enough that it has some counter-culture freshness to it. I'd love to meet a little kid named Jerry.
Jerry on a girl is not common anymore, but I think it used to be. In my grandmother's high school year book, there were a few girls named Jerry and Jerrie.
Jerry Heil sounds like a drag queen name to me, because of its connections to the slang term Jerry, "Heil Hitler", and former model Jerry Hall. I've never heard of Jerry Heil before, I'll have to check her out.

Well Heil in her name is pronounced like heyl, like English word hail, and heil, German word (it means "safety, unhurt, good" I think- but for long time I thinked that it meaned glory) it hayl (ay being like English word I).
Jerry Heil is music maker and youtuber, but I never watched her youtube. Though I like some of her music! Her real name is Yana Shemayeva.

Jerry is very anonymous to me—it doesn’t have a personality. Here in the U.S., it was very popular 60+ years ago.

On a girl it ought to be Jerri or Jeri but Jerry is mainly a man's name. It's nice enough, very dated but friendly.
