[Opinions] Re: Remi

I pronounce it as rem-e-ell. Don't get me wrong, I love the name, but would prefer it as a mn if using the full version. I can just see so many issues with pronunciation and that would drive me up the wall! I also much prefer the spelling Remy, but then it's not like a short version of Remiel, that's the issue. Wondering if Remi is something I can get away with, or not?!Sarah -

I think you could get away with it, though I'm pretty sure the *el is the "god" part of the meaning and taking that out, I'd just think of it as "mercy" (or I've also seen "thunder"? I dunno if it's either or both) plus an angel association.

I had thought of that too, that the meaning would change. Until I thought about the fact that other shorter versions of names, think Sam, Danny, Zeke, Gabe, Charlie, Toby, Tom and such all still have the same meanings as the longer names. To me, Remi is no different, therefore I'd claim the Remiel meaning! :)

Technically, I'd think the meaning would change slightly for those, too, especially for Sam, Danny, Zeke, and Gabe, if they're used by themselves. But whatever; I agree it works either way.
