I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce Emile unless it's the French pronunciation. Is that how you would be saying it?

Emile because it's handsome and rare plus autocorrects to Smile :)

Emile and remy were brother rats in the film ratatouille. I'd go with Alexander

Emile. So many Alexanders about but I've never met an Emile. Love it.

RTKangaMummy · 18/06/2017 15:20

Alexander cos tbh don't like Emile

Mrsknackered · 18/06/2017 14:43

Emile! Love it

MikeUniformMike · 18/06/2017 14:39

I would spell it Emil as in Emil and the Detectives. Loved that book.

Emile! Great name, and much more interesting than Alexander. There are sooooooo many Alexes.

Birdsgottaf1y · 18/06/2017 11:31

My bio Grandad was Emile. It looked prestigious written with his Surname.

I think it ties in well with Remy.

There isn't may about, either.

flissfloss65 · 18/06/2017 11:21

Emile. Love saying that name.

grufallosfriend · 18/06/2017 11:15

Emile is a great name, cool and not overused!

I know SO many girl and boy Alexes and I find it a little dull in comparison to Emile.

implantsandaDyson · 18/06/2017 09:30

I love Emile, whether it goes with Remy is neither here nor there for me, it's a really lovely name.

I don't want you to change your opinion because of his brother's name... I'd obviously rather pick a name that's seen as nicer.

All change !😄
Emile definitely goes better with Remy.

grufallosfriend · 18/06/2017 08:54

Emile definitely, especially with Rémy!

Jooni · 18/06/2017 03:42

Emile!

Reow · 18/06/2017 02:55

Emile! Lovely name and so underused.

ScarletSienna · 18/06/2017 02:25

I love both. Emile and Remy go so well together though that I'd go for that.

buttercup54321 · 17/06/2017 23:39

Alexander without a doubt.

DramaAlpaca · 17/06/2017 22:29

To go with Remy, Emile.

Piratesandpants · 17/06/2017 22:28

Emile

Muumi3 · 17/06/2017 22:27

With Remy, definitely Emile.

workingfromhomerules · 17/06/2017 22:26

Emile is lovely.

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 17/06/2017 22:24

Alexander. Emile just does look 'right' to me personally!
