Remy?

[FunkyChunk]

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?

I like it.

I love it. It's unusual and cool sounding. I associate it with Gambit from The X-Men (his real name is Remy Le Beau) and I'd like it for a boy. I reckon you'd have to be a bit of a comic geek to connect the two. In my experience, names that relations are a bit sceptical of usually get "owned" by the child and they grow to love them as they do the dc.
Go for it.

Isn't that what the rat in Ratatouille is called by his dad? My 2nd thought is Leah remini, don't know why! It can be rem for short, I think I like it

When I was at school, "remy" was a nasty nickname for the stupid kids (short for "remedial"). But that was a long time ago.

Short for Raymond I think. I love it.

I rather like it.
It reminds me of that Remy in House of Cards (US)

It is one of those names which requires a certain surname though, and not Martin 😉

Lovely name. Mothers are always the hardest to please as tastes have changed so much since they named their children. I'm sure she'll come round (mine did!)

Really like it, I know of a new baby Remy. It sounds like it should be short for something. That's not a negative though, just my first thought on the name.

French family I know have a Remy (with an accent on the e). Lovely name.

Oof I think house of cards and one very very attractive man! :)

Great name!

I like it. It just sounds French to me.

It's French. Rémy. Means oarsman.

Rem was slang at school and did not have a good meaning.
Generally, I'd avoid foreign names.
Someone suggested Raymond - Ray is nice and has sunny associations.

Yes, it's great !
They've had their turn, now it's yours.😄

I thought remifentanil 🙈
But I actually do like the name!

I know two. Both Remi. It's one of their birthdays today! I love it.

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

• oh maybe it was remi.

Love it, first heard it on devious maids

French. Old-fashioned. Meh.

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.

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

Remy Martin brandy. Quite a nice name I think.

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

My cat is called Remy LeBeau helpful

Love it for a boy
