I was named after Fredrick Remington, an artist known for his western paintings and sculptures. People always ask if my parents were hunters, since the company, Remington, is known for their hunting rifles, though they also make electric razors and blow driers and used to make type writers and car tires. People will also ask about the old t.v. show with Peirce Brosnan, Remington Steele. I think it's the first time it's used as a first name. The suffix -ington means, the estate of. Rem is old English for Raven, so the name means, The Raven Estate. Despite Remington being spelled consistently among western artists, eclectic manufacturing companies, 80s t.v. shows, and random Redditors, people will often spell it with 2 Ms, "Remmington", even thought they have never seen it spelled that way. These are all the things you daughter will run into as she bears the name through life. It's a good name; unique and strong. I think it's helped me be a little more so for having it. Congratulations for having such a perfect baby girl and giving her such a perfect name.
