Love it.

For me, it has negative connotations because the less able children at my school were unkindly referred to as remmy ie remedial. That may not be the case where you are though, it could be geographical.

I also think of the male character in House of Cards. I think the character’s parents were French speakers.

I'm another one who was bought up (unfortunately) with remmy =special needs.

Violetparis · 25/08/2019 18:23

Remi from The Stone Roses was my first thought.

shhsecret · 25/08/2019 18:24

Similar is Romi like Romi and Michelle. I like it but it would be Veto'd by BF

scarecrowhead · 25/08/2019 18:24

That's Reni Violet

Jsmith99 · 25/08/2019 18:25

As far as I am aware, Rémi is a French boy’s name.

FogCutter · 25/08/2019 18:26

It is a French boy's name

OtraCosaMariposa · 25/08/2019 18:29

Remi is a boy's name.

Also if you used it for a girl I'd wonder if you were pronouncing it Remmy or Reh-MEE to rhyme with Demi Moore.

Not a good choice either way.

Chista · 25/08/2019 18:33

Reminds me of Remy Martin

AverageMummy · 25/08/2019 18:37

Is it something you take for indigestion? I could be wrong. No I’m not a fan

gingajewel · 25/08/2019 18:40

I love it, I think it’s beautiful

Moominfan · 25/08/2019 18:41

I love it

Militantmartha · 25/08/2019 18:49

Nice but does make me think of the indigestion tablets. I do also think of it as a boy's name but only because I've only come across it being used for boys. How about Romy? It is similar in sound but more feminine.

brightonroc · 25/08/2019 18:56

It's a French boys name.

DontCallMeShitley · 25/08/2019 18:57

It's a boy's name in most places.

femfemlicious · 25/08/2019 19:09

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

4storytoy · 25/08/2019 20:33

Love it.

CSharpLemon · 25/08/2019 20:35

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

Sophronia · 25/08/2019 21:14

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

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.

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)

Frith2013 · 25/08/2019 21:45

A) it’s a boy’s name

B) it reminds me of rennie indigestion tablets

NCB2019 · 25/08/2019 22:09

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

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.
