Personally, it’s a dog name. The only time I heard that name is on a dog, and he was named to honor [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] “Remdog” [name_u]Remy[/name_u] from baseball. So, I have that association with it and it’s hard to lose, being a fan of Remdog!
For others it could work. But it does sound like a nickname. Maybe a little too cute with ‘i’ ending. I’m not sure I like names that end with that letter.
Hmmm… so maybe [name_u]Remy[/name_u] or [name_m]Remie[/name_m]…??
I would not use it on a girl. I like [name_u]Remy[/name_u] for a boy. I know a male [name_u]Remy[/name_u].
I really love the name [name_u]Remi[/name_u]. I think it’s spunky and strong! I’d say go for it.
I like the name [name_u]Remi[/name_u] a lot, but it does seem like a nickname to me because my girlfriend used to watch a YouTuber named [name_u]Remi[/name_u]. Her name was short for [name_u]Remington[/name_u], which I really like.
I like it better as [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. I agree that the -i makes it a little too cute. With a -y though, it’s a lovely, different-yet-familiar name.
I like [name_u]Remi[/name_u]! To me, [name_u]Remy[/name_u] is masculine and [name_u]Remi[/name_u] is feminine.
I know of two Remis. One who’s full name is [name_u]Remington[/name_u] and one is just [name_u]Remi[/name_u]. I think it’s useable either way!
Personally, I would give it a more classic and mature middle name.
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
I love it for both genders, but prefer the spelling [name_u]Remy[/name_u].
I did meet a boy a while back (he was about 12) who introduced himself as [name_u]Remy[/name_u], but his full name was Remiel, which I fell in love with on the spot (pronounced rem-ee-el, three syllables). I could see that working on a girl too. Possibly even feminising it like [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] – [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]. Remielle? I prefer the original spelling though. This little Remiel told me his name meant “[name_f]Mercy[/name_f] of God” and was the name of an angel
Loving the thoughts! Thank you. I appreciate the input.
I have to say, I really do prefer the “i” spelling… hmmm… maybe “y” will grow on me…
I agree with @alibc that a classic middle name would be best… I seem to be leaning towards MNs that start with A… What do you think of:
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f]?
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]?
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] Atheena?
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Ashlynn[/name_f]?
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] [name_f]Addilynn[/name_f]?
I see it as a boys name though my first thought was Fetty Wap’s group [name_u]Remy[/name_u] Boys who are named after a type of alcohol.
Since your after a classic middle Atheena, [name_f]Ashlynn[/name_f] and [name_f]Addilynn[/name_f] aren’t classics at all though [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] could be considered classics.
I voted “gorgeous.” I think it’s really timeless, and I can’t ever see it sounding dated. Reminds me a little bit of the Finnish (IIRC) girl name Taimi, which grew into adulthood well on someone I met once.
I do like this name, I think it’s “usable” (I’ll explain in a minute), but I do prefer it spelled as [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. I know of one little boy and one man named [name_u]Remy[/name_u]. However, I can’t get behind this name simply because it brings to mind [name_u]Remy[/name_u] [name_m]Martin[/name_m], the cognac!! This name is pretty well received on Namberry, but no one ever mentions that, which is kind of odd. To me it’s like using Baccardi or Hennesy. I get that’s it’s an established name but the association is too much for me.

That is so interesting. I have never heard of that connection. I feel like it is an odd reason not to like a name, but each to their own. Thank you for sharing! (I learnt a new fact from that!)
I know that they are not strictly classical, but they are derived from the same roots. My partner and I prefer more unique names, so to new take on an old name is more up our alley. Besides, I hardly think there’s much point arguing over whether [name_f]Athena[/name_f] has one ‘a’ or two… doesn’t make all that much difference.
