For a girl -

Nancy
Rae
Sunny

I'm struggling to choose between the three!

Rae is lovely.
I've never met a Rae. Smile

Thank you! Me too - love that it's one syllable.

Nancy is my fav. Pretty but strong.
I do like Rae though.
Not keen on Sunny although I love Sonny for a boy.

How about Nancy Rae?
Flows well and is a lovely name.
Dislike sunny. Sorry!

I love Rae. Simple and beautiful. Nancy is a dud imo, and I'm not keen on Sunny.

Don’t like any of them sorry.
Nancy is a bit Oliver Twist
Rae is just horrid. Too masculine
Sunny...no

I like Nancy and Rae. Afraid Sunny is a bit hippy for my taste! How many syllables does your surname have? I prefer names not to be 2 and 2 so if it’s ‘Baby Mason’ I’d pick Rae and if it’s ‘Baby Smith’ I’d go Nancy - but that’s just a weird preference of mine!

Nancy is the best - but I’m not keen - but I really dislike Rae and Sunny.

Rae sounds pretty, reminds me of the sun.

Nancy & Rae are lovely
No to Sunny

All lovely names, but very different names. Rae feels a little bit middle namey to me.

I'm definitely swaying more towards Rae, but Nancy has been a firm fave for so long!

Nancy is great. I knew spiteful people of the other 2 names, so not for me.

Either of the other two but not sunny- it’s an adjective

Love Rae

Nancy.

Not keen on the other two - maybe Raewyn?

Rae is lovely and instants makes me think of Daisy Ridley in Star Wars. Strong and beautiful

Sunny is one I can imagine them being picked on for at school, kids are mean and it's quite unique. I went through something very similar because my middle name is unusual.

Not a fan of Nancy, it just makes me think Oliver.

Nancy Rae

You can't call a girl "sunny"--it will be misheard as "sonny"!

Rae is OK I suppose. Nancy is charming.

Rae is very popular in London. But I chose a popular name too so it wouldn't put me off.
