For a boy, which spelling of the following name do you like best: Remi or Remy?

Question

I read soewhere that 'Remy' was the name of the animated rat in "Ratatouille." The name Remi, as I'm sure you know, is affiliated with the wine... So, based on appearance, which spelling do you like? Also, which spelling of this name do you think the little boy would get teased more for having (if at all?)

Answer 1

i like Remy myself. i first found that name while reading the kushiel's legacy series by Jacqueline Carey. unfortunately (spoiler!) he is slain in the second book. it a great name though!

Answer 2

Remi

Great name and UNIQUE

Answer 3

for a boy i'd say remy. for a girl i'd say remi.

i always thought of remington the gun, not so much the wine.  

Answer 4

I like Remi! :)

Answer 5

i like Remy

Answer 6

Remi sounds like a boy to me and Remy a girl. Y's always seem to feminize things.  I think it's super cute on a boy. Not crazy about it on a girl.

Answer 7

I don't know if either spelling is more likely to get the boy teased than the other spelling..

I like it spelled "Remi" .

Actually, I have to admit after reading other answers that Remy may be more masculine. I mean, girl names end with 'i' more often than boy names, right? .........not sure about this.

Answer 8

I don't think that a boy would be teased. I absolutely loved the movie Ratatouille to be honest, haha. Not sure if I should be embarrassed on that one? Anyway besides Ratatouille, Remy Ma also came to mind. I like it spelled both ways but I favor Remy a bit more.

Answer 9

I'd have to say Remy.

Answer 10

Remy more masculine

Answer 11

I prefer Remy because it's Gambit's (from the X-men) real name. Remy Lebeau.

Remi is ok too though.

I don't think a kid would get made fun of too much for either spelling. It's unusual, but I can't think of anything particularly horrible that it rhymes with or sounds like. All kids get made fun of anyway, whether it's for their name, or something else.

I know a guy named Jeremy that we all call Remy.

Answer 12

I don't think he will get teased. I love that name!

And I like the spelling Remy... i think i at the end is kinda girly...

hope this helps :)

Answer 13

I would be tempted to pronounce Remi ruh-ME while I would definitely pronounce Remy REH-me, with the accent on the first syllable.

So it just depends with pronunciation you want. I'm partial to Remy since  the "y" makes it seem more masculine.

It's a very nice name, I like it! =)

Answer 14

Personally , I love the name Remy !

I think it`s a unisex name too .

I say you should go for it !
