For a girl -

Nancy
Rae
Sunny

I'm struggling to choose between the three!

I don’t like Rae, reminds me of Mae.

Malyshek · 26/05/2019 15:20

I'm not keen on Nancy - I always picture a spoilt little girl when I hear this name.

Rae is nice, also like Rue. There was a character in a video game called Rue !

Not keen on Sunny, it sounds more like an adjective than a name, sorry...

Since Rae is such a short name I would hyphenate it with another name tbh.

bridgetreilly · 26/05/2019 12:35

Nancy.

HollyBen · 26/05/2019 06:41

I like Nancy. Not keen on Rae but I do like Nancy Rae together. Sunny would be a no for me.

CakeRattleandRoll · 26/05/2019 06:36

Love Nancy.

Pinkvoid · 26/05/2019 05:57

Not a fan of any tbh but would use Nancy if forced to. Ray is a male name- Raymond. Sunny isn’t a name, Sonny is but again it’s male.

The only Raes I’ve known were registered as Raewyn or Raelene

whitehalleve · 25/05/2019 13:54

The only sunnys I know are all boys.

whitehalleve · 25/05/2019 13:53

Rae is very popular in London. But I chose a popular name too so it wouldn't put me off.

Kokeshi123 · 25/05/2019 13:49

You can't call a girl "sunny"--it will be misheard as "sonny"!

Rae is OK I suppose. Nancy is charming.

WantedAChatterbox · 25/05/2019 08:34

Nancy Rae

Icklepup · 25/05/2019 08:22

Like Nancy!

Peonie89 · 25/05/2019 07:14

Rae is lovely and instants makes me think of Daisy Ridley in Star Wars. Strong and beautiful

Sunny is one I can imagine them being picked on for at school, kids are mean and it's quite unique. I went through something very similar because my middle name is unusual.

Not a fan of Nancy, it just makes me think Oliver.

Tavannach · 24/05/2019 23:01

Nancy.

Not keen on the other two - maybe Raewyn?

NameChangedNoImagination · 24/05/2019 22:58

Love Rae

Shadow1234 · 24/05/2019 22:54

Rae is lovely - short and sweet
Don't like Nancy
Prefer Summer to Sunny

Tillygetsit · 24/05/2019 22:48

I love the name Nancy.

CodenameVillanelle · 24/05/2019 22:42

Only Nancy not the others

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 24/05/2019 22:40

Either of the other two but not sunny- it’s an adjective

Mac47 · 24/05/2019 22:39

Nancy is great. I knew spiteful people of the other 2 names, so not for me.

carmenbea · 24/05/2019 21:06

Love Nancy Rae very pretty Smile

I'm definitely swaying more towards Rae, but Nancy has been a firm fave for so long!

All lovely names, but very different names. Rae feels a little bit middle namey to me.

Proseccofuelled · 24/05/2019 19:24

Nancy & Rae are lovely
No to Sunny

Purplelavenders · 24/05/2019 19:17

Rae sounds pretty, reminds me of the sun.
