Hello,

a friend of mine asked me for help.
He wants to know which name might result in a nickname of Remy
(as Thomas is converted to Tommy, what is converted to Remy).

TIA

There is Remy Charlip who is Jewish and writes children's books. Perhaps there is a Hebrew or Yiddish name?

It's actually a name on its own. It's a French man's name. I refer you to this page which I found in Google (just kill the popups as they happen).

I'm sure there are also names which can be shortened and have a "Y" added (as "James" becomes "Jimmy") to convert them to "Remy", but it's not necessarily a shortened version of another name.

MudGuard, I have long assumed that Rémy is the same as St. Remigius, a name which comes back to me from my times in Germany (mainly Nordrhein-Westalen). Is it the name of a beer, a mineral water, or just some street that I used to pass by near the University in Bonn?

I know some Irish people called Raymie which is short for Raymond, although the more usual abbreviation for this is Ray.
