The name R e m o n y ?

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 too similar to ‘remoaner’, sorry

CodenameVillanelle · 29/07/2019 11:04

Lol it's terrible

I like the name Remi so would work with that longer name (hate short names / nickname type names)
Not sure I'd chose it myself but it's different, but not silly different iuswim

Sorry, it puts me in mind of the people who voted Remain and cannot stop “remoaning” about the outcome.

Apologies for offending 95% of Mumsnet Wink

I take it it's pronounced Re-mon-eee?

Isn't it a place in Scotland?

Bezalelle · 29/07/2019 11:17

Sounds like one of those very time-specific names, like when people were named after generals from the Boer War, or "Victoria" after the Corononation of Queen V.

Remony - named because her parents were Remainers in the Great Brexit Debacle.

Shock Shock horror! No, I wouldn't pronounce it Re-moan-ee like Remona, I just meant it could derive from it somehow. Do you think the same thing if it's pronounced Re-mon-eee?

People may mishear it as Rimini, the Italian resort. Not to my taste, sorry.

Butterfly005 · 29/07/2019 11:21

I quite like it

Caramellow · 29/07/2019 11:23

It makes me think of Renesmee from Twilight. I'm not a fan.

I think I may be slightly dyslexic. I had to reread that three times, I got money and remedy before I got it right - might just be all the spaces though. Are you having a girl or a boy?

lazymare · 29/07/2019 11:23

Lemony

No - sorry

I quite like it but I doubt if people will be able to pronounce it or spell it, OP.

Antonin · 29/07/2019 12:32

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

Frith2013 · 29/07/2019 13:51

Sounds like someone has started complaining again.

Re-moany.

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.

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!

Cinammoncake · 29/07/2019 17:20

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

YukoandHiro · 29/07/2019 18:09

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