Is it for a boy? I think it's a feminine sound. It might grow on me.

I always thought it as a girl's name.

Allo Allo is Rene

No! Only those with an encyclopaedic knowledge of disney films engendered by having watched all of them goodness knows how many times (thanks ds1 and dd).

I do like the name, but really, as I said, only with the rolled 'r' you find with french accent. And was while I was saying it out loud to myself that I remembered Allo Allo.

Kind of. Remy Ma is an American female R&B/rap artist who was on her way to biiiiig things when she pulled a gun on a friend and shot her over an argument about money/men and is now in prison... That aside her music is brilliant and it's a lovely name!

I like it, though I would have thought, seeing it written down, that it was pronounced Reemy.

Only thing of Remi Martin, whose full name is Reminisce. I think she's in prison.

Sorry, Skihorse, didn't see your post

Report

Reminisce is perhaps an unfortunate name given her current circumstances...

When I was little one of my favourit TV programmes was called 'Remi' It was very sad though.
I love the name Although it will always make me think of Remi losing everything he loves in the world, but finally finding his mother

It remind me of "Remi, sans famille" (without a family, there was an actual movie as well, even sadder) I think it is the same as yours QueenofDreams very sad story but I love the name.

Havne't seen the movie, but the tv series made me bawl. (made my mum bawl too )

I've only heard of Remy as a boy's name.

I love the name Rene and Renee is the girl's version of that.

There was a girl called remy in Dd1's class a few years back, I had forgotten as I generally think of Remy/Remi as a boy.

I love the name Remy and it's on my list - Remy Moses was a famous footie player in 80s I think.

Downside is it's the name of the rat in Ratatouille but it's a fab name.
