Common questions
What are good middle names for Remi?
The top picks are Eloise, Adeline, Ailany, Emery, Emersyn. Each one is a different length or sound from Remi, so the two names do not run together when you say them.
Should the middle name for Remi be short or long?
Remi has 2 syllables. A one-syllable middle name (Claire) gives it a short, punchy sound. A three-syllable middle name (Eloise, Adeline, Ailany) makes the whole name feel longer and more formal. Match it to your last name: a short last name goes with a longer middle name, and the other way around.
What initials should you avoid with Remi?
Write the three initials out together — first, middle, last — before you decide, and check they do not spell a word. A middle name starting with "R" repeats Remi's own first letter, which some parents like and others avoid.
