Remington

TonyaCody06

I heard this name for a little boy about 10 years ago and loved it. This name has always been on our name list each pregnancy. #1 would have been Mason if a boy but my cousin has since used that name.

What are your thoughts on Remington (nn Remi)?

Remington makes me think of an electric razor.  Remi reminds me of the rat on Ratatouille.

NMS.

This is all I picture.

I know a woman with a little girl named Remington. Remi sounds feminine, but Remington sounds masculine, in my opinion.

Makes me think the kid grew up in a log cabin in the woods wearing no shoes and dirty overalls with siblings named Jim Bob and Peggy Sue.

... a gun and a razor.

This. I just can't on board with such a well known brand name for a baby. Brands = strong associations, and I think most people associate it with guns and razors.

Never thought of a "gun" or "razor".. but, if you think about it she could be a "hot shot" or a "sharp one"... LOL

I think it's a cute name!!

It's ok.

I'm sorry...it just isn't my style. I either think of:

A) The guns
The razors
C) The rat on the movie Ratatouille

or I think of the three people I know that have a little yappy dog named Remington. Sorry!

I have known two baby Remingtons. I really dislike the name. It is an odd mixture of pretentious and ordinary--names that end in -ton always seem to be trying too hard and then there is the connection with the shaving brand...

Guns & Razors Here Too...

I love Remi/Remy but do not care for Remington at all. He sounds like a secret agent or a butler... and neither in a good way.

I have a thing for French names, so I really like Remi. It's a name by itself, and I don't think it needs an extended version to use the "nickname" you were planning on.

 My college roommate named her son this in January.  It took me a while to get on board with it, but it fits the family well.  The fact that he is freaking adorable helps.

How about Remus with the NN Remi?

Not a big fan of Remington. Maybe if you like the NN Remi/Remy you could use a name like Jeremy or Jeremiah?

Noooooooo

I love my Remington 870!

Many of you are possibly too young (gathering by the Bump as a whole) to remember the TV series Remington Steele.  But when I see Remington, I think of the show and Pierce Brosnan who played the character.

Otherwise NMS.

NOT a fan of Remus! We have a Jeremiah in the family...can't & wouldn't use that. I'm not trying to find a name that fits the NN. It's going to be an all or nothing deal Who knows...we will prob end up with a girl! lol

I've had a Remington in my class for three years (he's 15).  He goes by Rem.  I don't find it that bad of a name.  He has a sister named Castille, so I always thought of the old show Remington Steele.

I guess I am one of the rare few that actually like the name....but for a girl. There was a Remington in my preschool class....a little girl. She went by Remington, Rem, and Remi. And she had a baby sister named Rowan.

I like Remi as well, but I used to have a student with the name. 

Remington makes me think of Remington Steel.

I love it. I'm on board for names that can also be surnames. Also love nn Rem. It's different
