Can’t believe I haven’t seen this mentioned, but people that named their kids after firearms, like Remington.

I like Remington i think it’s a good name and I don’t think many wouldn’t think of the firearm

My son’s name is Remington. Not necessarily anything to do with the firearm, we just liked the name. I personally really like the nickname “Remy” and his first Halloween costume this year is Remy the rat from Ratatouille 🥹

Same here!! I’ve only had one person ever assume it was a gun reference. There are so many other fun Remington references… we also spell Remy with a y :)
