I knew a Marjory who went by 'Rae'. Marjory is a bit much though.

I know an 11 year old Raelle, although she isn't known as Rae!

Rachel?

My niece is called Raya - or, for something different, Soraya?

Rachelle is the first that comes to mine.

Similar sounding Rei as nn for Reina would be my first choice though.

Opps meant to be Rae

I know one girl just call Rea. Its lovely and I have never thought about it being used as a nn for her it's just her name

Raya

BerryBerryXmas · 27/11/2013 21:44

I know a middle-aged Ray, short for Rosemary

One of my bf is called Rae. I have always thought it was a beautiful name. It means doe I believe.

marriednotdead · 27/11/2013 21:28

I have only ever known one Rae. She is middle aged and absolutely lovely Smile

CuntyBunty · 27/11/2013 21:20

What Eirkur said. Rae/Ray is not a great name.

JemimaMuddledUp · 27/11/2013 21:14

I know two women called Ray, in both cases it is short for Raywyn.

PurplePotato · 27/11/2013 21:09

Rachael?

WeAreEternal · 27/11/2013 21:09

Reneé (pronounced ren-ay) is my first thought.

HandragsNGladbags · 27/11/2013 21:08

Raine

EirikurNoromaour · 27/11/2013 21:07

Why, though? It's not a great name, especially spelt Rae. Or Ray actually.

jammiedonut · 27/11/2013 21:07

Renee? We have a family friend with this name and we've always called her Aunty Rae

7to25 · 27/11/2013 21:06

Traditionally, Mary
