From Wikipedia: "Laramie was named for Jacques LaRamie, a French or French-Canadian trapper who disappeared in the Laramie Mountains in the late 1810s and was never heard from again."

It seems male to me a la Laurence and Lawrence, but also a la Durango, Moab, Utah, Houston, Dallas, Vermont. I think it's a beautiful sounding and looking word.

I've only ever heard this name once, and it was on a girl.
I like the name, especially the Laremy spelling variation. Remy would be a cute nickname. And I love Lem as a nickname option (ah laa Stanislaw Lem sci-fi author ....Off note but I had wished Lem had more nickname options beside Lemuel so this was a cool find).
I first heard the name on Steven Universe, and the character goes by Lars, but his full name is Laramie. I liked how it sounded and being related mentally to a character I like it seems very wearable. Especially with how name trends are going. But.... I don't like that its so western, or a truck brand or a place name (nothing wrong with that it's just not my style). And when I ran it by the BF he automatically thought of the cigarette reference from the Simpsons... So I am torn. Cause it seems like a great name (nature meaning is right up my alley too) but there's a lot of personal hang ups I would need to get over to really love it.
