Thoughts on Jeremiah?

I always shied away from [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] because I do not like the nickname [name_u]Jerry[/name_u], which I thought would be unavoidable.

But, all of a sudden I’m in love with the idea of using [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] with the nickname Remy. [name_u]Remy[/name_u] has interested me for a while, but I wasn’t super keen on using it as a full name, because it felt a little incomplete/informal, so this seems like a great compromise. Any ideas for middles/first names for [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]? I’m thinking of maybe using [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] (too many ‘I’ sounds?), [name_m]Sholto[/name_m], [name_m]Llewyn[/name_m], or [name_m]Frasier[/name_m] as a start.

Remy is an inspired nn for [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]! [name_m]Llewyn[/name_m] is my favourite of your three ideas.
I really like the sound of [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m] and [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_u]Tarian[/name_u].

I think [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is a great idea as a nickname for [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]–although I also definitely think it stands alone well, so if [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] feels like a compromise, I’d go for just [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. Probably my favorite nickname for [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] would be [name_u]Jem[/name_u]. In any case, I think [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] is definitely avoidable! I really like [name_m]Ivo[/name_m], but I agree with you that [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] is maybe a little too heavy on “i” sounds (really just because they’re so close to each other). Any of your other ideas works really well though, I think! I also really like @EdgeOfTheMeadow’s [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_m]Walter[/name_m]?

Remy is a great nickname! I’m not a big fan of [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m], but it’s just not my style. It’s a nice name.

I love [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]! We have a cousin with this name and he was always called by his full name.

My first thought was “ [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] was a bull frog , a very good friend of mine” (joy to the world by [name_m]Hoyt[/name_m] [name_m]Axton[/name_m])

Not sure where you are, but I work in education in middle [name_u]America[/name_u] and have known LOTS of Jeremiahs. They have all, always, been called [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m]. I have never encountered a [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] called [name_u]Jerry[/name_u]. So don’t shy away from [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m] just because of the nickname concern!

That being said, if you WANT a nickname [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is cute!

Jeremiah [name_m]Frasier[/name_m] is fantastic. I prefer the [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] spelling though
