What is your Greek source? Is it one of those "redacted" versions made to conform with the Masoretic Text? NKJV is very close to the Latin Vulgate. St. Jerome must have use a different Greek source. Here is the Latin source tranlated by Google:

"For a child is born to us a son is given to us and has the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace"

The oldest versions of complete LXX (i.e. C. Sinaiticus, Vaticans, Alexandrinus). This is the version used by the Greek Orthodox Church to this day, and that was the basis for Textus Receptus.

First of all how do you know this is Jerome's version? The new Vulgate (in Latin) is not the Jerome's original.

Besides, I don't know what version of Isaiah 9 Jerome use for his translation, considering that he did not write the OT based on the LXX but on the Masoretic Text (MT), and most Jewish versions of the English Hebrew Bible quote Isaiah 9:5 as

Whatever that name is, the NKJV is not following the LXX or the MT.
