We are going to use Rae as a middle name (after someone) but i'm really struggling to find girl names we like that flows with it. We would like something pretty and uncommon but not unheard. Can anyone give any suggestions?Halo

Erica Rae sounds too much like Erika Roe

My baby dd due at Christmas will have middle names Elizabeth Ray after my parents. I am just as stuck for a first name lol. I did think of changing Ray to Rae but Rae is a family surname on mothers side.
We have toyed with Abigail as a first name.

Ciara/Keira?

No to Luna Rae, go all the way through and call the poor child Moon Beam.

I think you need a longer first name to balance out the shortness of Rae. My suggestions:

Vanessa Rae
Melissa Rae
Laetitia Rae
Ophelia Rae
Isolde Rae

Sienna Rae
Imogen Rae
Lydia Rae

I know a Harper Ray, but he’s a boy. Still a lovely name. Harper is unisex.

Luna-rae is quite good.
X?
Fay?
Sun?
Man?

Seriously, how about Rachael, shortened to Rae.

Although you have said you don't like the "ie" sound.
DD is Darci Rae. My dad is Raymond. Smile

Amelia or Cordelia

FWIW Eirian is pronounced A-rian where A is like the English letter A (or the ai in Aitch, and the rian rhymes with Yan.

Patchouli666 , Eirian is not pronounced as you say. I know several Welsh-speaking Eirians. Please stop mangling lovely Welsh names.
