Remy - for a girl?

So my husband keeps coming back to Remy but for a girl.

I'm not convinced - I worry it's a bit chavvy and also using a boy's name for a girl.

Unusual and pretty or weird and silly?

My friend has a 5 month old baby girl called Remy. I think they would have used it for a boy too.

I know a girl Remy. I rather like it.

Remy Martin is what I think of, ok but I love my brandy.

Doesn't Ratatouille mean it's a reasonably well-known male name? I wouldn't.

Sorry but sounds like an indigestion tablet to me.

Ah yes, we were both big House MD fans so he keeps bringing her up! Grin

It's a boys name to me. How about Romy instead?

If he wants to name his DD a French boys' name, who is anyone to say no? Grin

X post!

Pretty. I wanted it for dd but dp wasn't a fan. It's the name of Olivia Wild's character in House I think.

There's a pretty good female character called remy in the tv series house. I like it. Simple and androgynous but not common.
