For a boy - thoughts?

It's fine.

I wouldn't choose it, but wouldn't judge you for choosing it either.

It feels quite feminine to me, but that's not a bad thing (clearly).

I know one 7/8 YO boy with it.

I know a little Rémy, really like the name

Kokocarol · 07/10/2018 19:47

I like Jude, Zack, Joseph, Joshua, Charlie. DH doesn’t like them all though. I think my parents & PIL will HATE Remy (which makes me want to go for it even more Grin

Kokocarol - good to know the names are a good match! We don’t have a French connection Blush just like the names! The other names we have been considering for a boy are sonny, brodie, Rudy, albie.
What other names are on your shortlist??

Oh how strange OP. I’ve got a Louis & am considering Remy for my second boy (due in 2 months). Out of interest what other names were you considering? We don’t have a French connection. Just like the way French names sound!

Isn't it Rémy?

RoomWithALoon · 07/10/2018 11:38

I knew a Remy and he was one of the loveliest students I ever taught. But - I kid you not - his surname was Martin. Just don't do that.

Remy is perfect with a brother Louis, particularly if there is a French connection with the family. Very handsome.

I know a couple that wanted a gender neutral name for their baby and they chose Remi. They had a girl.

Shadow1234 · 06/10/2018 13:58

Love the name, but prefer it for a girl.

Babynamechange123 · 06/10/2018 12:40

I have a girl Remi so I am biased but I adore the name.

lifechangesforever · 06/10/2018 12:37

I like it, but I do like it better for a girl Smile

HopeClearwater · 06/10/2018 12:32

Look up Remy Danton, the character in the US version of House of Cards. Sharp-dressed handsome chap. Lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 06/10/2018 12:28

Very nice. It would be perfect with Louis.

I've known a couple of Remy's. Beautiful name for a boy.

Sunflower321 · 06/10/2018 10:58

Great name for a boy

GoldenMcOldie · 06/10/2018 08:48

Dd has a boy Remy and a girl Remy in her class. It's a popular name in Australia.

I really like it.

user14869556378 · 06/10/2018 08:46

Louis and Remi - very cute!! Perfect match. I definitely prefer Remi with an I for a boy

Ooh would definitely NOT say ray-mee. I’m not convinced others would either - I’ve never heard people say day-mee (Demi) or say-mee (semi) for similar words?

I really like it but makes even more sense with Louis, lovely combo!

frogsoup · 06/10/2018 08:38

The standard French spelling is Remi. I love it in french but I don't think the sounds translate too well to English, the English 'r' and long rather than short vowels turn it into ray-mee which is much harsher imo.

ByTheSea · 06/10/2018 08:34

Love it!

teletuby · 06/10/2018 08:33

I like it.
