Scarlett!!

From your list I like Ruby Rae.
I love Rosa Rae

HotMessMama · 22/11/2018 18:04

I love Rae for a first name, that was on my list if I had a girl, I had a boy.

Ruby Rae is my favourite from your short list Smile xx

We had Rae on our middle name list to go with Delilah

Chocolatecake12 · 22/11/2018 16:06

I’ve just found out that my aunt aged 68 has the middle name Raie. She’s such a trend setter!
I love Amber but might be too similar to Amelia.
Ruby Rae dies actually sound quite nice!

My (boy) Rae is short for Gabriel. Could work for Gabriella/Gabrielle?

WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup · 22/11/2018 14:20

Ruby Rae ❤️

stickygotstuck · 22/11/2018 14:08

I like Amber best.

Out of interest, is Rae short for something?

Perfectpeony · 22/11/2018 13:55

If you use Ruby she will be R Kelly... don’t know if anyone born past 1993 will pick up on that though...

I’ve always loved the name Chloe. Smile

Tightlippedmama · 22/11/2018 13:49

As a PP has flagged up. The name combo that’s most significant is the First name and the Surname.

Chloë Kelly is quite a mouthful. Ruby Kelly isn’t the easiest either.
Harley Kelly doesn’t really work well.

Scarlett Kelly looks matchy and the double T at the end of Scarlett makes it easier to ‘manage’ the Kelly.

Amber Kelly has a good rhythm to it.

I’m not helping am I?

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/11/2018 12:54

Chloe Rae is my favourite but I can see I'm in the minority here.

PeevedOfPortishead · 22/11/2018 12:51

Can't believe nobody's suggested Epponnee yet! Grin

rach2713 · 22/11/2018 12:50

I like Scarlett rae but also Erin rae.

I'm pregnant with a little girl and we have picked Erin mae for are little one as we have 2 other girls with A first names and middle names are rose and Leigh. I loved Scarlett but husband not so much..

Scarlett Rae is my favourite. I imagine a clever but mischevious wee girl with lots of curls for some reason

manicinsomniac · 21/11/2018 18:18

I like Amber the best but I don't know if it's a bit similar to Amelia?

I don't think it's an issue that Rae is popular. It works with most names because it's 1 syllable. Same reason that May, Grace and Rose were so popular and Jane , Anne and Kate before that. People go with what flows well.

Belindabauer · 21/11/2018 16:58

Scarlett Rae.
