For boy or girl, what are your thoughts? What other names do you think are similar?

I would say it's more of a girls name but I've never heard anyone called it so I could be wrong.

It isn't my cup of tea but I can't seem to find any names I like so I'm probably not much help

FelicityPike · 04/12/2020 18:57

Definitely a boys name.
I’d spell it Remi like the Dutch do (like the archangel Remiel).

Pieceofpurplesky · 04/12/2020 19:00

Remy Martin fizz or Remi Moses the footballer.

I love Romy for a girl

SionnachRua · 04/12/2020 19:01

Rat in Ratatouille. Especially with that spelling.

I went to school with a Remy, she was a bit older than me and had long red hair and was very musical, and when we got older she sang in a band and was generally just incredibly cool. So on that basis I love the name for a girl Smile

It's ok for a boy, but think it might date a bit when the current trend for -y and -ie boys names dies down (half the toddlers at nursery seem to be called Alfie/Charlie/Rory etc).

Lovely French name. It's a boys name to me. I know some people are using Remi for girls in the US and UK.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 04/12/2020 19:11

Boy's name.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 04/12/2020 19:11

Girl as I know one.

Also knew a mare called Remi.

Oneandabean · 04/12/2020 19:14

Boys name, rat from ratatouille

boomshakey · 04/12/2020 19:15

Love it. I know it as a French boys name

florascotia2 · 04/12/2020 19:35

Boys name. Short for Remigius which means 'oarsman' (specifically male). Very famous early French saint (male). Not a name for a girl.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 04/12/2020 19:40

Boys name.

I know of one who is 2 years old.

LuckyAmy1986 · 04/12/2020 19:42

Love it for either

LittleTiger007 · 04/12/2020 19:46

Def know it as a boys name Remi. I taught a remi ... he was lovely

ExitChasedByAnImposter · 04/12/2020 19:46

Maybe for both? I remember there was a Remi in Junior Masterchef and she was super talented.

SeigneurLapindeGrantham · 04/12/2020 19:49

I once knew a little french boy called Remy absolutely lovely name for a lovely little boy.

Madbengalmum · 04/12/2020 19:50

My male cat is called Remy. From ratatouille.

lambo88 · 04/12/2020 19:57

We liked remy but I think it's more of a girls name xxx

Nell96 · 04/12/2020 20:07

A family member recently named their son Remy. It wouldn't be my choice - I'm usually not a fan of y/ie endings for boy's names, but it's fine. The following names feel similar to me:

Rory
Roscoe
Luca
Rex
Milo
Lenny
Levi
Pascal

Firebird83 · 04/12/2020 20:14

There is a boy Remy at my DS’s nursery.

Magicbabywaves · 04/12/2020 20:18

I would assume girl I think, but that’s shows my ignorance if it’s a French name. Not keen on Romi.

ChanklyBore · 04/12/2020 20:18

Remy Hadley from House. Otherwise known as thirteen.

Then the rat from ratatouille

But I do like it - girl or boy.

pinkpinecone · 04/12/2020 20:32

I really like it, I think of it as unisex. Remi for a girl and Remy for a boy.

Bogardicia · 04/12/2020 21:35

Love it for a girl.

boomshakey · 04/12/2020 21:56

We liked remy but I think it's more of a girls name

Why do people think it's a girl name?
