This database says yu-ROON, but the way I've heard it in real life sounds *awfully* close to the way many people say urine. Which is a little off-putting, needless to say. I like both the French and English versions very much, though I've never seen the French avec le circonflexe, mais sans l'accent aigu- normalement, c'est Jérôme.

Vraiment? Je n'ai pas vu le nom avec l'accent EGOUT.

Tu ne l'as jamais vu le prénom «Jérôme» avec l'accent aigu? C'est bizarre, ça.Et aussi, c'est «aigu». C'est vrai. Googlez-le. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accent_aigu [Il n'y a pas un page pour l'accent «egout» . Je crois que ça veut dire un accent sans goût, peut-être]

Then it's a very common mistake. Google the other way also.

I definitely wouldn't have guessed the pronunciation, and I don't really like the sound of it. I do like Jerome, however.

JerômeI like Jerôme (but *only* WITH the circumflex).

Well, if the pronounciation is yu-ROON it's not particularly attractive in English.

For the most part, I like it. The pronunciation will take some getting used to.

I did't like it till this Summer, when I met a great Dutch guy named Jeroen.

Looking at it I want to say it like yeh-ro-en and I like that. But the database says it's pronounced yu-roon and I'm not very fond of the -oon sound. Basically, it looks nice but I don't like the pronounciation. Nothing wrong with it though.

...same hereI too would have said yuh-ROW-in, and prefer that sound.
