Jerome

What is the first time Jerry is called Jerome, and what episode? Was it only Elaine who called him this, or anybody else Can anybody recall the reason why this was?

Thanks.

George's pretentious girlfriend called him Jerome once.

"You're the Jerome with the tax problem."

I want to say Elaine calls him that about seven times throughout the series. I don't recall the first time.

I believe Jerome is the proper name for Jerry. Not necessarily his real name, but the proper name. ie. William for Bill... Richard for Dick...

I know it's latin and has its biblical meaning.

That makes sense now, I actually just watch that episode tonight, The Truth(on Tivo), and one of the truthful things George told her was that she called everyone by their full first name, Sam the doorman was Sam-uel.

Thanks for the info.

I always presumed that was the name listed on his tax return.

No, I just think that was her niche. "You called my doorman, Sam, Samuel. But you didn't say Samuel, you said SAMYOUELLE!"

If you look at George when she says "You're the Jerome with the tax problem.", he rolls his eyes.

I disagree, because when she says, "you're the Jerome with the tax problem", she appears to be a recalling her memory - and I doubt she is recalling from a time when George called him "Jerome" - she is probably recalling the name from seeing it in print.

I didn't know that (of course about Jessica and Shoshanna). But she dated Jennifer Crittenden and Leifer was the "real Elaine"?

I believe the mother of the girl friend who tries to seduce him calls him Jerome. The sub-plot was based on a Dustin Hoffman movie which I can't recall the name of and I thought it went back to the movie. (Mrs. Robinson?) This is the episode in which Jerry's girl friend promotes and demotes Jerry on her speed dial.
