Remy?

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? Smile

I love it.

Remy is a boys' name and Romy is a girls' name, if anyone goes down that track!

Nice name. There's a Remy in DD's class.

Raymond is, well, let's just say, nothing like Remy!

I really don't like it, I think of brandy and know two dogs called it. I seem to be in the minority though.

Would you pronounce it Rémy or Remy? I prefer the French pronunciation.

chowmeinchick · 07/07/2017 13:39

I know a girl called Remy. Think it's with a I and not a Y tho. I like it.

Love it. Very cool.

Nonameyet1 · 07/07/2017 20:11

Love it too.

MyNewBearTotoro · 07/07/2017 20:13

I've never heard the name before and wouldn't be shore how to pronounce it, is it Ray-mee or Ree-mee?

There are three Remys in DD's class! All girls though.

Love it.

Fairylea · 08/07/2017 21:19

I really don't like it.

Whathaveilost · 08/07/2017 21:22

I know a few adults and teenagers called Remy.
They don't have any problems with their name!
I really like it and wished id called my DS this.

Whathaveilost · 08/07/2017 21:23

All the ones i know are pronounced Rem me. They are all males.

PopcornNRedwine · 09/07/2017 11:17

It makes me think of Romulus and Remus from Roman mythology. But I love it

I love the name Remy. My first thought is the boy from the book Sans Famille by Hector Malot, which I loved as a child. I remember crying while reading it. It has happy ending though.
