Remy?

DP and I both really like the name Remy for a boy. We haven't had an entirely positive response about it though! My mother in her usual PA way just said "well if YOU like it...."

In my mind:

It isn't a stupid made up name!
It's unusual but not too "out there"
Would work for child going into adulthood

Thoughts? Smile

I love the name Remy. My first thought is the boy from the book Sans Famille by Hector Malot, which I loved as a child. I remember crying while reading it. It has happy ending though.

It makes me think of Romulus and Remus from Roman mythology. But I love it

Whathaveilost · 08/07/2017 21:23

All the ones i know are pronounced Rem me. They are all males.

Whathaveilost · 08/07/2017 21:22

I know a few adults and teenagers called Remy.
They don't have any problems with their name!
I really like it and wished id called my DS this.

Fairylea · 08/07/2017 21:19

I really don't like it.

Tuesday40 · 08/07/2017 21:16

Love it.

There are three Remys in DD's class! All girls though.

MyNewBearTotoro · 07/07/2017 20:13

I've never heard the name before and wouldn't be shore how to pronounce it, is it Ray-mee or Ree-mee?

Nonameyet1 · 07/07/2017 20:11

Love it too.

ohhhhhshit · 07/07/2017 13:39

Love it. Very cool.

chowmeinchick · 07/07/2017 13:39

I know a girl called Remy. Think it's with a I and not a Y tho. I like it.

grufallosfriend · 07/07/2017 13:29

Would you pronounce it Rémy or Remy? I prefer the French pronunciation.

Stopnamechanging · 07/07/2017 03:03

I really don't like it, I think of brandy and know two dogs called it. I seem to be in the minority though.

TheDowagerCuntess · 07/07/2017 02:30

Nice name. There's a Remy in DD's class.

Raymond is, well, let's just say, nothing like Remy!

KoalaDownUnder · 07/07/2017 01:40

I love it.

Remy is a boys' name and Romy is a girls' name, if anyone goes down that track!

Sophronia · 07/07/2017 01:38

Love it for a boy

IHaveACrapCat · 06/07/2017 18:38

My cat is called Remy LeBeau helpful

JaimeLannister · 06/07/2017 18:15

Another X-men fan here. Remy LeBeau comes to my mind and I love the name!

PlymouthMaid1 · 06/07/2017 18:11

Remy Martin brandy. Quite a nice name I think.

BeyondThePage · 06/07/2017 18:10

It will always be the rat in Ratatouille to me...

scrivette · 06/07/2017 18:08

I really like the name, there is a little boy in DS1's school and I am going to try to convince DH for DS3.

FinnegansCake · 06/07/2017 17:56

French. Old-fashioned. Meh.

Mulch · 06/07/2017 17:38

Love it, first heard it on devious maids

SleightOfHand · 06/07/2017 17:37
  • oh maybe it was remi.
SleightOfHand · 06/07/2017 17:36

I like it but straight away thought it was a girls name, I know of one girl called remy.
