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.
