Raven Family Town, Settlement on the Boundary Stream, From the Ridge Town, “Remington Steele,” TV show and character played by Pierce Brosnan.)

Origin: (Old English)

Pronunciation: (REHM-ih-NGTahn, REM-ing-tun)

I was researching the name Remy *see on list of posts* I saw Remy was a contraction of Remington. So I decided to add Remington on its own because it is unique, rare and I love the meanings. I love names that have to do with Raven because Ravens seem a mysteries bird to me and it has an aura of horror always surrounding that bird in film and books. It also has other meanings which I like a lot as well.

Writing Quotes
