Remedios is has a lovely sound, the meaning is beautiful too. But it sounds very religious (and it can usually be short for Maria de los Remedios). Remedy doesn't really have that connotation so it looks more like a word name, kind of hippy sounding. I don't think either are pompous though!

Not digging Remedy, but Remedios is one of those names that could grow on me (I love Socorro, Mercedes, etc.). BTW, Remedios is a female name to me, given in honor of the Virgin Mary.

Well, that makes sense since the writer is Colombian and it's a Spanish female name.

Heh...It feels to me like one of the "parents' aspirations" names that I really hate. Like the baby is supposed to be a remedy for the parents' bad marriage or bad childhood or something. Fun as a GP maybe but not on a real child!

in that respect......it actually seems rather neat, and more interesting than I first thought. It has a really neat New England Colony ring to it, like.... Temperance, or Zeal. Or Pestilence.

Yeah, that's the problemRemedy sounds like a name that should be earned, like after 60 years in the jazz business or something. Oh well.

I love Remedios. There was a Spanish-Basque painter called Remedios Varo and I love her paintings. Remedy, on the other hand, sounds more like a pharmacy.

It is pretty awesome, I've never thought of it as a name before. Clearly only a GP/for fun name. I think it would be rather odd to see in real life.
