We’ve had a difficult job deciding on a boy’s name but Remy has recently grown on us. Just wonder what other people think of it? Would you associate it with a boy? As keep reading it’s a unisex name. And any middle name suggestions?

I have never heard it used as an insult. It's definitely primarily a boy's name. I've met a few and they are all boys. It's lovely.

Middle name options:
Gabriel
Theodore
Joshua
Sebastian
Benjamin
Felix
Jude
Samuel
Zachary
Otis

Remy is not feminine!

I think Remy Ray sounds cool.

My sister is called Remi and she has never had any problems with this name, I associate it as a girls name

My immediate thought was rat then brandy

I think Remy Martin is a very different thing to jack daniels. Jack or Daniel are common names not associated individually automatically with the drink, remy is an unusual one.

For me it is more remi for a girl that is rhe better name. I’m not really a fan if rhe male version.

I love this name, currently pregnant with my second boy and we considered this.

Remy James is lovely!

If you were looking for similar sounding options here are some others we considered...

Rudi
Raffy
Rumi
Romy

Thanks so much everyone. I also love Rudi but my partner is less keen.

It seems it will be a marmite name if we do go for it, but I think I’d rather that than a name where he’s one of four in his class (which is where Otis is sadly headed!).
