Not a nn, a variantJust like James is an English variant of Jacob, not a nn for Jacob.So my answer would be No to both your questions. Jeremy is the same name as Jeremiah, just an Anglicized version.

- Racial? She is Swedish!
- Maybe he called her Meatball."I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I’ve decided to be spontaneous."

Jeremy *is* a name on its own, regardless of whether it can also be used as a nickname for Jeremiah.Personally I wouldn't bother using Jeremy as a nickname for Jeremiah, since it's only one syllable shorter. I'd use Jem for both.
