Remy or Buster?

[CinderellaRach]

Hi mn's which would go better with ds1 Ellis James?Remy or Buster?
Dh loves Buster I don't really like it..If I put my foot down I think he'll go with Remy(I know he doesn't mind the name-he's just contrary..)
Also a distant friend has a Buster (and her eldest son is Blu)

Wow. Hobson's choice.

Buster sounds a bit threatening. Like what guys call each other when they're trying not to punch each other.

Remy is the better of the two names but it's a bit girly.

Not Buster

Buster Gonad/Bloodvessel are the most immediate associations for me. Remy is not my thing either.

Ellis is a great name, though

Sorry, neither given their associations.

i thought Remy was a girls name - i love it for a girl but not for a boy. (im thinking of 13 in House!)

not mad on Buster either im afraid.

I'm that age when children in school with some learning difficulties were called remedial, and remie by unkind other children.
I just couldn't use it.

what is 13 in house's real name supposed to be? I thought I was hearing it wrong.

Good for Staffordshire bull terriers, not for human beings.

13 is called Remy!

oh right. next question, why do they call her 13?

Remy or Buster??

you are naming a puppy, right?

Why are there so many Remy and Buster threads?

bravo - she is called 13 cos that was her number when he was recruiting - he had 40 candidates and she was number 13! he named his other candidates things like Cut Throat Bitch and Big Love...i absolutely love House.

i really like Remy as a name for a girl though! Buster on the other hand....

Oh thanks for that! I'd wondered and couldn't figure it out. I only got into House series 4. I should watch the first 1-4 as well.... lol at cut throat bitch.

Oh no nightbynight you think of Remy as a puppys name..

Sorry, cinderalla! It is the sort of name I would call a puppy or a horse - if I met a small boy called Remy, I would probably think he was the class bad boy.

Really? Seriously? Don't like either, previous poster is right they are dog's names. Also reminds me of the rat in Ratatouille.

Now I wasn't at all keen on Remy in your previous thread. However, compared to Buster, it is now a wonderful name (if it really is a case of either one being the name).

I agree that Buster is a bit threatening. Would see it as the name of a fierce dog or a doorman. Brings to mind Buster Bloodvessel. Also isn't a particularly affectionate name. So if I was being firm with ds1, I would possibly say "all right buster, get your shoes on NOW". Not a very endearing name.

Still think Remy needs to be said with full on French accent, rolled 'R'. But is infinitely preferable to Buster/

Oh god! Had forgotten about Buster Gonad!

I quite like Rrrrrrremy as a French name (like the rat in Ratatouille). Not sure about a boy's name in UK.

Buster is terrible, sorry. Sounds like an East London hard man.

Name him Buster Bloodvessel, just so that you can play "Special Brew" at his Christening.

Buster is a dog's name, but not a poodle unless you're trying to be very ironic. Remy is fab, imo.

Buster Hymen and The Penetrations.

They exist. Honestly. Known as The Penetrations these days.

Buster is a dog's name. Probably a small vicious dog.

Remy is meh.

sorry.

I had a friend at college with the nickname Buster, after Buster Gonad. He had a very small bottom so when he sat with his legs up and slightly apart his testicles looked huge - even with trousers on!
