Is the name "Rimas" forbidden, and would the questioner be sinful for suggesting the name, and what if the child's family does not agree to change it?

The name "Rimas" has no origin in the Arabic language and no known meaning. One should be cautious about using it, as it is among the names imported from non-Muslims. Naming with it is not considered (forbidden). If you advised your aunt to be cautious about this name, that is good, and there is no blame on you if she does not respond.
