Message: "Jeremina" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Jeremina

I was watching the football (soccer) world cup and Colombia met England. One of the Colombian players is called Yerry Mina. When the speaker said "Yerry Mina", I first heard "Jeremina", which made me think "hey, that's actually a rather nice name."
Apparently it's a "real" name (it's submitted). WDYT about Jeremina?
I think it's much better than Germaine, for example. I don't like Jerry, though. I would use the nn Mina.

I think it’s rather pretty and has a warm sound to it. I already like Jeremy so I don’t mind this. It also reminds me of Benjamine, which I also kind of like. I love the nn Mina.

Jeremina is cool! Reminds me of Joaquina. The French versions, Jérémine and Joaquine, are also nice.

Seems like a feminine version of Jeremy to me. I don’t mind it at all. If other feminizations are valid why not Jeremina? Mina or Jerry would work as nicknames.

I like it in theory because I love unwieldy feminizations, but it's a little too close to jeremiad for my liking.

I prefer Jacomina.
