Help[Opinions] Re: Navy and Remi as girl's names in Utah
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I have run across two Navis at different times, one was years ago. They were Hispanic and pronounced the name Nah-vee. If I had to guess I'd guess tentatively that it (Navi, anyway) might have originated from Natividad?
Also I once read a book where a Hispanic girl was named Usnavys (OOS-Nah-Vees?) by her father who was a US Navy sailor (and evidently a bit overly impressed with that fact. Good thing for her he wasn't an Air Force or Coast Guard man.)
I'm not really surprised that Remi is so popular in Utah; I'm a bit surprised it isn't more popular overall. It kind of fits in with Rayne and Riley and Demi and similar sounding names.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
