Is ירמיהו a common name in Israel?

Question

It’s my Hebrew name but I don’t use it as an American. Would it be odd to use it when I’m living in Israel later this year? Is there a diminutive form?

Answer 1

No, it is not common at all.

Answer 2

No, it is not a common name in Israel. There are some who go by ירמי, so that is a possibility if it feels comfortable for you to be called that. But if you don't think you would realize you are being spoken to if someone says ירמי, it might be better to stick with your English name if it's a name Israelis can pronounce.
