Jerome 
Greek, "Sacred name"
Saint Jerome is the patron saint of librarians, so it's no wonder this name has the dusty feeling of an old book. Liven things up by calling him Jerry.

I must say, I do not agree with saying that Jerome is "dusty" like an old book. Just because it is a name that hasn't been overly popular doesn't mean its a bad name. I would rather have my son named something unique and classic than what half his class will be called!
