Like the 13 reference earlier, Olivia Wilde's character on House is named Remy. Also, the baby name book I had lists it as a girl's and boy's name both. I think of it as going either way.
I always think of Remy as a boy's name, but I do know one female Remy. I like it better on a boy. I think it is simple and masculine, all around nice. :)
Also; love Jane and hate Jayne. The superfluous "y" just ruins it for me.
the only remys i know are the god awful rapper (female) and the alcohol that i think she got that stage name from. double awful but on a boy i don't have such bad connotations. sometimes i think it's a question of whether or not it is an abbreviation and if it is an abbreviation then what's the full name.
I love the name Remy, I've read a book ["This Lullaby" By Sara Dessen] With a girl by that name, It wasnt short for anything. Also My friends husbands name is Remington and he uses Remy for short, which I absolutely love love love.
I would probably go with it as a girl name if it isnt short for anything though.
