Thoughts on Rae for a girl and which middles names would pair well?

Eva and Grace are both good in my opinion.

I personally wouldn't choose Rae.

LouiseTrees · 22/08/2020 23:53

What about Eva Rae then?

MrsTerryPratchett · 22/08/2020 23:17

I know a Rae. It's a very nondescript name IMO but inoffensive if you like it.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 22/08/2020 23:15

The only Rae I know is male

I really like Grace, but not Gracie.
Eva is OK but a bit bland.
Both have been popular for years, if that bothers you. They are perhaps a bit tired through overuse now.

Just trying to give some sensible options.

Grace not Gracie.

Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a Grace. Grace was a little girl who wouldn't wash her face.

I prefer Evelyn or Eve to Eva.

Gosh. I didn’t realise it was that awful! I think it was quite pretty.
The other ones that I am considered are Grace (nn Gracie) and Eva

@OhTheRoses

Please call her Rachel. Middle name: Isabel, Sophia, Verity, Elizabeth
Very specific!
daisypond · 22/08/2020 22:58

No. It’s awful.

Loveden · 22/08/2020 22:56

I kind of like it - but there are a few around, first and middle names.

OhTheRoses · 22/08/2020 22:52

Please call her Rachel. Middle name: Isabel, Sophia, Verity, Elizabeth

ChelseaCat · 22/08/2020 22:52

Awful. Sorry OP.

What other names are you considering?

Elsiebear90 · 22/08/2020 22:51

I really don’t like it, I think it’s very “trendy” and I prefer classic names, but if you like it go for it!

Barryisland · 22/08/2020 22:48

Awful but it’s your child so
Your choice

LouiseTrees · 22/08/2020 22:47

I think Rae is a middle name really
