Also think of Disney. How about ramona?

VenusClapTrap · 30/09/2019 18:44

Disney rat.

Icantthinkofanewname87 · 30/09/2019 08:12

It’s a boys name.

It also reminds me of a vintage insult (which other posters have already mentioned)

joystir59 · 30/09/2019 07:16

Romy is a real and lovely name. Remi is horrible imo

Windbeneathmybingowings · 30/09/2019 07:10

This guy likes it

Remi

I think it's lovely. I know two women (20 and 22) with this name and one man (40s)

Cecilandsnail · 02/09/2019 05:42

Hair extensions

Remi is a girl’s name in my parent’s culture. I like it!

ElleDriver · 01/09/2019 22:15

Prefer Rumi personally but it's still quite pretty

fergusthefrog · 01/09/2019 22:14

Sorry big no from me too as it reminds me of the (very cute!) male rat in ratatouille

timetochangeagainforever · 01/09/2019 16:32

My friend has a 19 yr old daughter called Remi and she loves it

I don't mind it. I used to see it only as a French boy's name but have come across it for a girl a few times in recent years and it has grown on me.

mumtobe1984 · 28/08/2019 10:00

It's for both boys and girls...i know two seperate people with one of both sexes and they called their child Remy Rae

CherrySocks · 25/08/2019 23:53

I know it as a female Nigerian name.

Shadow1234 · 25/08/2019 23:21

Love it.

I also think that 'Remy' with a y is the male spelling and with an i is the female spelling.

Pinkblueberry · 25/08/2019 22:12

Remy is a boys name, isn’t it? But Remi with an i looks quite girly. I think it’s nice.

NCB2019 · 25/08/2019 22:09

Ratatouille Disney film main character was a male rat called Remy. So it's a no from me.

Frith2013 · 25/08/2019 21:45

A) it’s a boy’s name

B) it reminds me of rennie indigestion tablets

Hobsbawm · 25/08/2019 21:22

P.s. Utterly unisex for a Yoruba name and I know women/girls with the name (as well as males)

Hobsbawm · 25/08/2019 21:21

Beautiful Yoruba (Nigerian) name. Usually it would be the second half of a name, such as Aderemi, with Remi as the short version used most of the time.

Sophronia · 25/08/2019 21:14

It’s a boy’s name. I prefer the Remy spelling. How about Romy for a girl?

CSharpLemon · 25/08/2019 20:35

Remi et Aline!
Remi is a French boy’s name. Don’t do it!

4storytoy · 25/08/2019 20:33

Love it.

femfemlicious · 25/08/2019 19:09

It's also a Yoruba name. Means God comforts me. Unisex beautiful name.
