I've come across this name which is practically non existent!

Remony.

I don't know its meaning or origin but I really love it. In my head it sounds like a variation of Remona? Anyways, what do people think?

Thanks :)

Sounds like you're trying to say memory but getting mixed up

madcatladyforever · 29/07/2019 22:36

Her nickname is always going to be moany.

mrsw2 · 29/07/2019 22:35

I really like it

Nearlyalmost50 · 29/07/2019 22:24

I like Remony and it doesn't sound like Remoaner to me at all, I think it rhymes with Lemony! So Remoni.

I wouldn't worry about the Brexit connection, it's rather tenuous and won't be relevant by the time little Remony grows up.

I can imagine twin Remony and Brexi.

I like Ramona and Romy.

Please don't hate me for pointing this out but you may like to know that Remy is also a shortened meaning for remedial (although spelt 'reme').

Josiefuzz · 29/07/2019 21:59

@missdumbledore how about Romy? Quite rare but lovely and feminine x

VivienneHolt · 29/07/2019 21:41

It reminds me of the name of the vampire baby in twilight.

Poetryinaction · 29/07/2019 20:31

Like lemony but not.

NoHummus · 29/07/2019 19:51

I agree. The spelling altered to Remeny is very pretty thank you!!! Little Remeny in Remy

Never heard of it, I quite like it but would risk lots of mishearings and misspellings.

Romilly
Melody
Remy
Bryony
Bethany

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 29/07/2019 18:32

Quite like it . Never come across that one.

NameChange92 · 29/07/2019 18:26

I think it’s lovely when pronounced to rhyme with remedy, but that’s not how i’d have automatically pronounced it based on the spelling. I too thought it was more like re-moany which is horrible, and I think that’s a problem you’d encounter a lot.

I’d go for a different spelling of it Remini is better if as a pp suggests that an accepted spelling of it, or if that’s also a made up sp. work with the remedy link and spell it, Remeny, more people then are likely to pronounce it the way you want

Thanks for everyone's comments positive and negative! Maybe Remy as an alternative x

I agree ! It's a shame really. I still really like the name Remony. But everyone's Brexit comments scared me off it haha. If one came across a child named Remony (re-mu-nee/re-mon-ee) would they really think of Brexit remain??

YukoandHiro · 29/07/2019 18:09

But the PPs have a point. Bloody Brexit is ruining everything

YukoandHiro · 29/07/2019 18:07

I like it. I knew a Remony through work a few years ago and thought it really unusual and lovely

Remony snickett

It's a no from me

Bouncingbelle · 29/07/2019 16:41

I quite like it but if some one named their child this right now, i would think they were Remainers & making a point!

Clownfish123 · 29/07/2019 16:15

I know someone with a Remini, pronounced the same I think? Rhymes with Remedy. I think it's lovely, can shorten to Remy.

Frith2013 · 29/07/2019 13:51

Sounds like someone has started complaining again.

Re-moany.

Antonin · 29/07/2019 12:32

Isn’t it Ramona rather than Remona?
How about Romilly
Or Romy ?
