Remy

[pearshateraqui.livejournal.com]

What does everyone think of the name Remy? I have met two people with this name; one a boy and one a girl. What are your opinions on this? The girl had the middle name Louise; the boy's is unknown.

Thoughts? I grew up with this name and therefore am indifferent; it's only recently I've found it to be unusual.

it's ok, but it reminds me of the band remy zero.

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[paperboat118.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of the book by Sarah Dessen This Lullaby. I love it.

How is it pronounced? REHM-ee or REE-mee? I like the first pronunciation, but not the second so much.

[checkingmypulse.livejournal.com]

i like it a lot!

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

I like it. It sounds very European to me (as a boy's name anyway.)

I think of an old French man with an accent that smokes and plays cards.

:) Sorry, that's the only Remy I know.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

I think it works only if one is male, of French/Belgian origin, and uses the accent aigue over the e.
If you fulfil all of my strict criteria, it's a good name ;)

i like it for a boy only, but it too reminds me of remy zero.

I don't like it with an American accent.

It is the curse of many lovely French names.

[thorabrighid.livejournal.com]

yes! And I love the name Remy.

Yeah, that's what it reminds me of too. But I don't really have an opinion either way.

I love it, but then again that's because it's the name of Gambit in the X-Men. I think it flows very nicely and I like the simplicity of the spelling. It can also be pronounced a couple different ways, and I think that's kind of cool.

I know of a male Remi. It's unique & pretty cool.. I like it a lot. Not enough to use it for my own son (i don't like it at all on a girl)

[littlehounddog.livejournal.com]

I think it's really cute, actually. :)

[pearshateraqui.livejournal.com]

Pronounced REH-mee.

[a-purple-dream.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of Gambit of X-Men (his name is Remy LeBeau). Cool name but I probably wouldn't use it. But I don't like it for a girl.

There was a boy in my first grade class named Remy. I always thought it was really neat. Different, but not waaay out there either.

type of liquer, Remy Red.

which puts it in thew Alize catagory for me...

I know a little girl name Remy but spelled Remi and she is absolutely the sweetest little thing ever. I dont think I would use it for my daughter bc I love traditional names but I think its cute!

[oscillating-fan.livejournal.com]

I know a female Remy- short for Miriam...

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

I like Remy. I know a girl Remy who uses it as a nickname for Rosemary. However, it will remind me of Remy LeBeau or Gambit from X-Men. And he was possibly the weakest of all X-Men.

I knew a Remy growing up - she lived across the street, was the same age as my sister, and had flaming red hair and a personality to match.
Her older sisters name was Marley.
