We are considering the name Rae if we have a girl and wondered what others thought?
We do like names that are different but due to our long surname only want a maximum of a 4 letter name.
This would be our third girl and have used our favourites.
Any thoughts?

Sorry I don't like it

And there's Rayanne, the cool friend in 'My So Called Life'...And Rae from 'My Mad Fat Diary'.

Rachel means ewe, and on one baby name site it said that therefore, Rae meant lamb. Gorgeous!! Or it can be the feminine form of Ray if you have a liking for Scottish names.

I have seen Rae get dissed on this site as a filler name alongside Mae/May/Rose etc. but I think it has a lovely sound and looks lovely written down too (especially in a swirly font - we have this on a personalised baby picture). It really goes with DD2's first name. I adore short names that can be both sweet and serious. So whatever your daughter's personality it should fit.
