What's a good nickname for Jeremiah. I know it really doesn't need one, but I just wanted to see if there are any good ones out there.

Jer?

I'd naturally just use the first syllable. Jer (to rhyme with "air").

Jem

In the Outlander books there's a character named Jeremiah nn Jem. I love Jem as a nn for James, but it definitely can work for Jeremiah too.

And I don't like it, but I went to school with a Jeremiah who got called Miah. The other two I've known didn't use a nickname.

Ha! If you hadn't mentioned the Outlander series, I was going to..I remember that you are a fan, as I am.

Jerry seems to be the obvious one although I've never liked it. I did used to know a family with a ds named Jeremiah and they called him Miah which I'm not feeling either due to the feminine name, Maia / Maya. I read a novel once where the hero was called Jem as a nn. That could work. It does feel a tad feminine to me, however. Remy would be perfect, imo. WDYT?

I've never liked Jerry either, and I agree that Miah is too feminine. Jem and Remy are okay, though I prefer Remy spelled Remi. Thanks!

Good thing about Jeremiah is that it's long enough to give you a lot of options... How about:

Jerry
Jem (my personal favorite)
Jamie
Jer
Jay
Remi
Jermie (maybe not, but still kind of cute ;) )
Jarmo
Miah

The Jeremiah I know just gets called Jer. I think Remi could work too. Or Miah, but that sounds feminine.

Oh and then there's always Jem

Well, Jerry is obvious. Hm...maybe Jerem (basically just remove -iah)? Though, that sounds sort of like a name on it's own. Remy, perhaps?

Yeah, I know Jerry is obvious, but I'm trying to find a nickname for my little brother and I don't really like Jerry all that much. I can't find anything that's fit for a baby, is my problem. Thanks for the help, though!

I'm not a fan of Jerry, either. Sounds too much like a man in his 40's, not a child.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Best of luck!
