Remy?

I love the name Remy for my baby boy, but a few people have said oh you're naming it after the rat from Disney? Which didn't even cross my mind when I thought of the name tbh. I don't want him to get bullied just because I like the name 😂 opinions please?

Hah wouldn’t have occurred to me. I’ve met two boys named Remy, both about 6 or 7 now. Don’t think anybody’s mentioned the rat.

It actually reminded me of remy in House (also known as 13).

I quite like it but I once knew a parrot called Remy named after brandy.
🤔

Middle name Martin?

Llovecookies · 20/01/2023 18:11

With the middle name Martin.

I like it

I know a little girl called Remi and never though of it as a boys name but with a Y I quite like it x

Remi is an awesome name! I like Rudy too.

I was under impression it was boys name, but I totally understand why some people might think girl instead.
I love it, and have it as potential middle name.

Tandoorimixedgrill · 20/01/2023 19:52

Love it, we considered it when I was pregnant.

goldenfoliage · 20/01/2023 19:52

no edits, rolleyes
I have it as middle name for longer boy name, and if I ever use it, it would be on boy.

ComfortablyDazed · 20/01/2023 19:53

Brandy for me - but I don’t think many kids would have that association.

Gymmum82 · 20/01/2023 19:53

DC has a Remy in her class at school. As far as I know he’s never been bullied for it

QuietYou · 20/01/2023 19:56

A friend of DS1 is called Remy and she gets asked the rat question all the time.

Luredbyapomegranate · 20/01/2023 21:41

It makes me think middle aged French bloke more than rat

Cinnamonandcoal · 20/01/2023 22:11

I know two small Remys and love it.

MamaBear54321 · 20/01/2023 22:13

I know a little girl called Remy its such a gorgeous name and gender neutral too 👍

Pterrydactyl · 20/01/2023 22:13

I like it.

Makes me think of Gambit from the X-Men rather than Disney rats.

Bleewee · 22/01/2023 14:21

It’s definitely a boy’s name but some people in UK/US use it as a girl’s name which I find so bizarre. Expecting a boy and this name is at the top of our list too 😁

Hair extensions brand isn't it?

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 22/01/2023 14:23

Yeah I just googled. Second I saw it I thought hair extensions. Sorry x
