Thoughts on Remy / Remi

[Kim T]

Hi,

We don't know if we are having a boy or a girl.

What are your thoughts on Remy (boy sp), Remi (girl sp)? Do you think its more of a boy name or girl name.. Does it sound like it should be the shortened version of an actual name, or does it sound ok. Etc etc.

Let me have it
Thanks

Definitely think of a girl first but I think it could work either way. It's not my style but I do like it!

I think of it as a boys name, I think it's French in origin? I like the sound if it.

Same as above . I know it as a male name.

It makes me think of the disney film ratouille so for me it's more of a boys name.

I like it and think of it as a boy name Romy/Romi I think of as a girl name

I have never heard the name before my cousin and his wife had their third daughter and they named her Remi. They thought they were having a boy, but I don't think they had Remi picked out for a boy. I'm not sure on that. I feel it sounds more like a girl's name probably because of my cousin.

I automatically thought of Remi Gaillardia who is a naughty prankster on YouTube, I couldn't see it as a girls name after him.

I definitely feel like its a boys name, i know one Remington, Remy for short

Kelly Clarkson just named her son Remington -- so it may become more popular soon. Remi seems feminine to me... Remington seems very masculine. I like it!

I think it sounds fine on its own, I do see it more as a girls name though
