Remy Rupert Thomas - thoughts on this name?

I’m thinking he will probably get Remy Roo a lot as a baby/child but I think calling him Remy Rue on the birth certificate wouldn’t age well, so Rupert works for when he’s grown up.

Just as a side note, I know a lot of people say middle names don’t get used - for some reason in our family we are referred to by our first and middle names quite often (even as adults!)

Rem was a derogatory term in my schooldays.
Your baby will be a man for much longer than he's a baby and toddler.
Remy Roo/Rue is awful.

I'm not keen on the name Remy.

I don't like Rupert. I think it's the wettest name in existence, fine as an embarrassing middle name that never gets used but not if it's likely to be used frequently.

Remy Rupert sounds absolutely terrible together. It sounds like Remy is a word for Grandfather/Uncle and his name is Rupert.

Not sure if Thomas is a second middle name or surname, but I'd say Remy Thomas flows much better, chuck Rupert in as a second middle name if you need to.

appreciate the honesty!

I personally find Thomas an incredibly boring name, it’s just one that we have to use hence the second middle spot. I know I’m in the minority saying Thomas is boring, it just seems like every man and his dog are called Thomas or have it somewhere in their name.

Personally, I don't like the name Remy because back in my day at school (70's/80's) some kids called other people remi as a derogatory term. Assume short for remedial?
Might not be an issue these days though.

I’ve personally never heard of it used as a derogatory term (school in the 00’s) but thank you for making me aware. To be honest every name I have suggested on here I’ve been told not to use because it is negative in some way!
