You realize Remy is a masculine name right? It means oar man.

I like Remy but I don't like the middle name options you presented. If pressed I would pick Olena though Lena would be a better option in my opinion

Remy is also a girl name. Names can be gender neutral so it's fine. I know a girl name Remington so it's fine.

Strongly dislike Remy ("oarsman") on a girl but I think Olena is nice.
An Oarsman is just a member of a racing team (see Merriam-Webster and Google). Oarsman can be women as well. Sorry, but in this family, we don't limit names that we like for our daughters to meanings and gender assumptions. Girls can be anything. To say a girl can't be named Remy due to its meaning is (internalized) misogyny.

If you're going by meanings alone, would you say Charlotte and Caroline (both mean "free man) are masculine? How Andrea ("manly")?

^ Agree to disagree, OP. There's no need to get your knickers in a knot because some don't care for the name Remy on a girl. It has zero to do with so-called "internalized misogyny" but rather with naming preferences. I'll leave it at that. Good day.
I find Nolwenn the most memorable middle name for Remy. It's a rare name and quite similar to Olwen which I love.
Remy is historically masculine and until this ridiculous century intended ad a boys name not a girl name. Opposing your oh so earnest and oh so incorrect assumption, the modern insistance of hiding girls behind masculine names is an insulting passive aggressive swipe at femininity, basically saying girls are lesser and must be disguised. Bnogs are eye rollers to most people who know better.

Honestly, we don't care if you find Remy masculine for a girl. We are using our favorite girl's name, Remy, for a daughter so you can agree to disagree.
