Remington

Remington was once stamped into the barrels of rifles and the keys of typewriters, a New York surname turned trademark turned first name. Its Old English roots mean "settlement on the raven's stream," which gives it a windswept, woodsmoke feel before it ever reaches a nursery. Parents began using it for boys in the 1990s and for girls in the 2010s, often shortened to the tomboyish Remi. The full three syllables have a pleasing clip-clop rhythm and a built-in nickname. Now holding near 287 and drifting unisex, Remington sounds like the kid who climbs the highest tree and names it afterward.
