No, not with Autumn. I suppose I like it b/c with the "e" it is more of a surname and here in the US we do that a lot. But when you pair it with something like Autumn it just becomes more of a joke name instead.

Thnk Raine SPencer, daughter of Barbara Cartland.....hmmmm

I take it Autumn Raine is tongue in cheek - if not, then needs a serious re-think.

Maybe Autumn Raine is a guilty pleasure! :) If I did choose Raine as a middle name, her first name would be Elizabeth, or something equally sensible. So no worries Wink

what about elizabeth ray?Could be Betty ray or lizzie ray both really sweet.

There is a Summer Rayne at the baby group i take ds2. Just about every parent was a bit Hmm when they first heard it.
Think Elizabeth Raine sounds fine though.

Thanks Melina, me too :) Not that I can take the credit as it was DH's choice!

noddy prefer Raine to Ray, but thanks for the suggestions!

When I originally thought of 'Raine', it was as a middle name to 'Adalyn'...

Raine is my Mum's maiden name, and I think it is a lovely classic name - wish I had thought of using it as a middle name!
