It was brought to my attention a few days ago that in Ireland Jeremiah is sometimes also known as Darby so persons looking for a Jeremiah, say McCarthy, who can't find him should look for the name Darby McCarthy. Can any Irish people out there confirm that for me? I hadn't heard that before. Perhaps it is an Irish joke.

Hello
 
I have not heard this before. 
 
However, I did hear recently that the Christian name Jeremiah can also be substituted with the name DIARMUID (or the anglicised name Dermot).

Hi Marian,
So another version. Why couldn't the Jeremiahs be content to just be known as Jerry! It would be so much easier for researchers or perhaps that IS why they used the substitutes.
