Ratatouille

[dippyeggsandsoldiers]

Currently pregnant with baby #3 and I can't find a name that I don't hate. I'm not finding out the sex so I need girls and boys names!
I liked Remy but my sister told me it reminds her of Remy the Rat 😂

I'm just relieved that you're not thinking of naming your baby Rataouille.

(The only Remy I know is a dog)

Rene or Renee, with or without accents ( I mean written accents, not ‘Allo ‘Allo)

Well, almost anything is better than Ratatouille so sure, go with Remy.

Honestly, Remy makes me think of Ratatouille too. I love that film but I wouldn’t name my child that! It’s getting quite popular though.

What other names do you like (even if you can’t use them)?

I was going to suggest you have your thread moved to Food and Recipes

It's OK but I have only heard it as a French man's name

Should do a poll on how many people open this thread thinking OMG Ratatouille is a dreadful name!

How about Romi (for a girl)

I know a little girl with that name and I think it's cute.

I like Remy. Combining the spellings of Remy and Remi puts it in the top 150 for boys, so I don't think the rat association is too strong.

If this thread had been Remy I’m not sure I would have thought of the movie

I know a little boy called Remi, I like it

Remy is a great name. I dont think pf rattatouille particularly. I just think its a nice french name

So am I the only person that thought alcohol rather than rats? 😳

Remy or Remi is a really ordinary French boy's name. For a girl, Romy.

Jude
Noel/Noelle
Cecil/Cecille
Peter/Petra

I got all of your attention with the headline ratatouille though didn't I? 😉
My question was if you were to have another baby right this second, what would you name it?... I just forgot to add that part!

Pandora for a girl, Sebastian for a boy. Easy.

I like Remy, but really it's a French boy's name. I think that might cause some confusion for people.

I would name a girl Winifred Beulah and a boy Isaac Hezekiah. It’s probably a good thing I am not pregnant.

I know a female Remi. She’s ten. Great name.

I know a Remi. He's a middle aged French man.

For a girl I'd go for Romy, or Ruby. For a boy Roman or Reuben. Rowan is also nice and could be gender neutral, although more popular as a girl's name I think.

Other neutral names
Alexander/Alexandra/Alex/Lex etc
Lindsay/Lindsey
Lesley/Leslie
Evelyn/Evelyne
Vivienne/Vivian
George/Georgina
Henry/Henriette/Harry/Hattie

I know a remi and her little sister is called ruah

Are you having a 65 year old French bloke?! Remy is odd unless you are.

Remy makes me think of nick copes grandson before the ratatouille rat but that's because DS loves watching popcast on cbeebies. I haven't watched ratatouille in years so I guess it depends on exposure to the film? Fwiw I think it's a cute name

I like remy, I know a baby boy called romi and a girl around 8 called remmie.

If I was to have a baby tomorrow I'd call it Callie or Tate.
