Remy Rupert Thomas - thoughts on this name?

I’m thinking he will probably get Remy Roo a lot as a baby/child but I think calling him Remy Rue on the birth certificate wouldn’t age well, so Rupert works for when he’s grown up.

Just as a side note, I know a lot of people say middle names don’t get used - for some reason in our family we are referred to by our first and middle names quite often (even as adults!)

I really like Jonah and Bobby from your other suggestions (I personally prefer Bobby as short for Robert but I know an adult Bobby and it works fine)

Remy is a perfectly fine name. I know three under ten.

Rupert is a little 'Upper Class Twit' but fine as a middle name. Remy Roo is a very sweet nickname for a toddler.

Would Reuben be an option? I think it flows better between Remy and Thomas than Rupert does, tbf.

Thomas is lovely too, imo.

It's funny how subjective all names are. I Haven't seen Ratatouille, the Disney film, so it doesn't have any impact on my opinion. However, I would find Reuben a very religious name. Some may not even know it is from the Old Testament. I think Rupert was posh decades ago but now mainstream.

I like Remy. Think I prefer it spelt Remi, though.

Rue / Roo doesn’t that mean regret? As in “she will rue the day she said that”

I would look for a different middle name.

The vast majority of names in use by people of European origin in the western hemisphere have a religious origin or association, whether from the books of the Bible or from saints.
