    We have friends with a now adult son Jeramiah and he's been called 'Miah' for as long as I can remember.

    I went to primary school and high school with a Jeremiah and he got called Jerry. Never heard any other nickname for it, well one that was nice!

    My son's name is Jem (Jeremy). We call him Jem, so everyone else follows suit. No-one has ever called him Jerry or Jez. That may all change in high school of course.

    Bullfrog?



    ETA - I had a friend, Jeremy - and we called him Jez.
    My first thought! Jeremiah was a bullfrog...... (darnit in my head now!)

    Could go left of centre and the nickname not be like the name at all...lol... like Elijah gets called Nugget, Nuggy, Nug... by everyone lol... even the kindy teachers at Oskar's kindy!

    MEL... STOP IT!!! bahahahah you naughty girl!!

    Seriously though... whatever name you give to your little bundle... there is going to be the chance that once you don't have the say so much with a shortened version of his name, that it might just happen to be one you hate. People used to call Joshua "Josh" when he was little, but I didn't like it... so used to always tack on "ua" when they said "Josh" rofl. Now, so many people call him that. My mum used to hate people calling me Cass... I hate people calling me Cassandra lol..... KWIM? I do like Jez and Jem ... Jem is gorgeous ... and Miah is unusual I love Jeremiah for a name, really love it.
