Ambrose, Idris or Remy

It's for DC3 who I think is a boy. Due very soon. DC1's name begins with A and DC2 begins with R. But I find Idris a bit harsh.

Please don't be horrible or rude.

Cheers...

Idris

hawkmcqueen · 17/01/2014 04:17

Having known a Remy I think it's way the coolest. Ambrose is my least favourite and Idris is okay.

ZenNudist · 16/01/2014 20:45

Love idris. I also love idris Elba Smile

Not brave enough to use it

rallytog1 · 16/01/2014 19:04

Idris is fab. It's my next door neighbour's name. If we had a ds I would love to use it, but our surname is so traditionally English that it would be odd with a very Welsh first name!

Thinking back, yes, Remy was a particularly unpleasant nickname for a group of people at school, but I like the name itself. Have to agree with Squoosh on Ambrose.

squoosh · 16/01/2014 11:07

Ambrose is awful, can't believe all the people urging you to use it!

I like Remy best and then Idris

EnglishGirlAbroad · 16/01/2014 10:37

A rat none the less. But I still like the name. And my cat is VERY cute! haha

IHeartKingThistle · 16/01/2014 10:24

Remy's not the fat rat, he's the clever cooking one!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 16/01/2014 10:11

I know a very cute Remy ( although spelt Remi) and he's my cat. Also the name for a fat rat in Ratatouille!

Ambrose, then Remy, then a long way back . . .(miles back) . . . . Idris.

Ambrose and Remy are fab.

redbinneo · 15/01/2014 22:35

Remy is cool, even better if Martin is the second name.

MsMessyandtheTidyBoys · 15/01/2014 22:32

I have a baby Idris. Lovely classic Welsh name.

lebkuchenlover · 15/01/2014 22:27

I think Ambrose is a great name! Also quite like Remy.

Not keen on Idris, somehow sounds feminine to my ears.

notso · 15/01/2014 21:59

That's my first thought about Remy Patchouli

I really like Idris though it auto corrects to aid rips Hmm

I'm not sure about Ambrose If you live in the right area then great.

St Ambrose was a dude and he's patron saint of Milan. Excellent choice. Idris is also good, although I'd worry that it's very linked to Mr. Elba and that's a tall (dark and handsome) one to live up to. Remy's a bit wet.

Patchouli · 15/01/2014 21:40

Is it just me who thinks of remmy as a horrible insult from schooldays then?

thoughtsbecomethings · 15/01/2014 21:39

Idris is a beautiful name for a baby boy. If I had another baby u would name it idris

Manchesterhistorygirl · 15/01/2014 21:38

Ambrose is ds2's godfather so I obviously love it. It's due a revival.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/01/2014 21:37

Idris.

omuwalamulungi · 15/01/2014 21:36

wink fail Wink

omuwalamulungi · 15/01/2014 21:36

Remy is and always will be Remy LeBeau ;)

ChristmasCareeristBitchNigel · 15/01/2014 21:32

I think they're all rather try-too-hard. Ambrose is the best if you have to

DownyEmerald · 15/01/2014 21:20

Idris
Ambrose and Remy seem very soft names.

Yes, I was just thinking how it really could do with being a boy, because we have put a lot of thought into a boys name and not very much at all into a girls.

I'm due in less than a week and CAN'T WAIT!!
