YuleBeLucky As far as I'm aware, the name 'Raine' is spelt with an 'e', and I think it makes it look more feminine...?!

No, tis too hippyish for me.

A middle name its ok though, Elizabeth Raine has a lovely ring to it.

I know a Raina.

Raine is OK, but why not just Rain? 'Rain' is a real word.

As middle name OK.

I was thinking of it as a middle name... such as Elizabeth Raine...? DS's middle name is a water-associated nature name!

no Imagine Bianca calling it out in Asda and then think again

I know someone called 'Raine' but it's actually (in her case anyway) short for Lorraine. Didn't know that for a while though! Smile

I've known one personally, and also it was the name of Diana, PoW's step-mother (nicknamed "acid Raine" if the papers are to be believed). Probably not an easy name to live with, though it's not a new name and I suppose not that different from Storm.

How's it pronounced?
