  3. Saint Jerome compiled and translated the books of the Bible into Latin, called the Vulgate! We felt that this is a strong name reflecting a deep knowledge of many things but especially of God’s word.

  7. My husband and I took a long time coming up with a boy name–almost 7 months! I wanted a biblical or saint name, but not one that’s super common. My husband liked the name Jeremy, but I was a little skeptical. Jerome was the perfect fit 🙂
