Views on Remi for a girl??

I have another DD with a slightly unusual / uncommon name which cannot be shorted. So far have been set on this! We even call her remi or when we speak about her we refer to her as Remi so tbh think its stuck on this one.

But i remember with my dd having a couple names picked out, and when I had her I completly went off them and ended up with something entirely different. So leaving that door slightly open Grin

Medication for indigestion?

Sorry - makes me think of the rat in Ratatouille.

I’m in healthcare and it’s short for remifentanil - a controlled drug so no not for me!

LaMainDeFatima · 10/09/2019 22:30

Love it ( but would think boy )

bionicnemonic · 10/09/2019 22:32

Remi Martin is a cognac...

AutumnCrow · 10/09/2019 22:32

I really like it, whether Remy or Remi.

Mummymummums · 10/09/2019 22:52

I too know a male Remi

Saltnpepperr · 10/09/2019 22:52

Love it. Always loved it for a girl more than a boy

Shadow1234 · 11/09/2019 01:24

Love it.

DramaAlpaca · 11/09/2019 01:26

It's quite sweet.

Jossina · 11/09/2019 09:56

Sounds too cutsey to me.

percheron67 · 11/09/2019 10:02

?Remy Martin? Try Armagnac, Courvoisier?

@purplepolo I love Remi for a little girl it's also on my list!!

Confusednewmum1 · 14/09/2019 04:46

Absolutely love it!!! My husband wouldn’t go for it! I know a boy and a girl Remi. It suits both genders and is an amazing name!! I wish I could have gotten away with it but DH is very traditional. A little girl called Remi is just beautiful xxxx

flumpybear · 14/09/2019 05:15

I love it, it was on our list if we had another girl, we had a boy though, (not called Remi)

I was trying to link it to a longer name like Remington (but not that) but couldn't think of anything suitable ... but sounds like you just want it short and simple - go for it!

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 14/09/2019 05:22

I love it, I know a little boy Remy

ifigoup · 14/09/2019 06:08

When I was at school, “remi” was an insult, short for “remedial”. But as long as that isn’t used in your neck of the woods, you should be fine.

PleaseSirMyGoat · 14/09/2019 06:21

Hate it. Rem or Remi also an insult when I was at school, and that's the first thing I think when I hear it. Also lots a Romanian children around here with variations of the name.

WipeYourFeetOnTheRhythmRug · 14/09/2019 06:24

Also an insult when I was at school. But times change I guess.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 14/09/2019 06:28

Is it not a boys name?

happycamper11 · 14/09/2019 06:28

I like it, to me it sounds more of a girls name too. What's the problem with Romanian children being called it. PP makes it sound like a bad thing

snowone · 14/09/2019 06:47

I know a little girl Remi - it's lovely Smile
