[name_u]Remington[/name_u] reminds me of the firearm brand, though I do like [name_u]Remy[/name_u] as a stand-alone name.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] not a fan of the name [name_m]Redding[/name_m].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the name [name_m]Russell[/name_m] and the nickname [name_m]Russ[/name_m]. Classic name. I love it.

I have the exact same issue with [name_u]Remington[/name_u] - we’re not gun people. I love the sound of [name_u]Remington[/name_u] though! However, we know quite a few kids - and one dog! - named [name_u]Remy[/name_u].

As far as nicknames, I prefer [name_u]Red[/name_u]. Also, I love the association with [name_m]Otis[/name_m] [name_m]Redding[/name_m]. To me it sounds soft, but also crisp and clean.

[name_m]Russell[/name_m] sounds so snuggly and autumnal, but it doesn’t fit with our other names as well as the first two do…

Naming babies would be so much easier if there were fewer factors to consider!!

Rockford and [name_u]Remington[/name_u] definitely feels like brothers. I also like [name_m]Russel[/name_m] for this set because I think it’s a nice bridge between Rockford and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], but [name_u]Remington[/name_u] is my top choice and vote.

[name_u]Remington[/name_u] fits perfectly with your other children!
I would not worry about the brand association. If you love the sound - go for it. Although [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is quite popular, [name_u]Remington[/name_u] is still a little bit more uncommen like [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
[name_m]Redding[/name_m] is okay and cool too - never heard it before, but I still prefer [name_u]Remington[/name_u] :smiley:
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] is a nice name per se but I personally dont like it with you other childrens names as I find it too soft compared to [name_m]Rockwell[/name_m]. For me, they sound very similar too.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find the name you love! :smiley:

I like [name_m]Russell[/name_m] best (reminds me of the kid in Up), but I think [name_m]Redding[/name_m] nn [name_u]Red[/name_u] fits better with the siblings.

I love [name_u]Remington[/name_u] & [name_m]Redding[/name_m]. Either would be great with Rockford and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] your naming style!

I voted on [name_u]Remington[/name_u] ([name_u]Remy[/name_u]) because I love how [name_m]Rocky[/name_m], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], and [name_u]Remy[/name_u] all end in the same sound. Very cute!
