Orla-Rayne

[Rachy91]

hey guys!

what does everyone think of Orla-Rayne? me and OH cant decide so as a comprimise i suggested putting our 2 fave names together so what does everyone think? i dont want to ask friends and family yet so honest opinions please!

also do you think it needs a middle name? i promised my friend baby would take her name (louise)as a middle name but i wasnt banking on a double barrelled first name!

[Rachy91]

really? its not common enough here to hav a label really except maybe hippy-y!

i dont like louisa as a first name but like it as a middle name

Ciara means dark haired in Irish, just as Orla means golden haired.
As does Kerry.

My little girl is called Orla and her middle name is Faye.its so hard choose,good luck.

[Rachy91]

aww orla fayes lovely :)

looks like were going with orla with rayne as a middle name, i still want louise but i think ill have to admit defeat on that one and comprimise!

at least i get the first name :) and getting OH to comprimise is no easy feet!! (sp on feet?? )

[KenDoddsDadsDogEatsTinsel]

Glad you got your way, Orla is the best name!
Keep us posted with all the news.

Orla Rayne with no hyphen is very nice, has a lovely soft sound; Orla Rayne Louise is nice too, but only if there's no hyphen and if you don't object to three names (although you could 'save' Louise for another DD?)

[Firawla]

Orla Rayne without the hyphen is nice, Orla is lovely

[Rachy91]

aww thanks guys :)

id like to have all 3 names but would that be to much of a mouthfull? i dont know if it really flows?

[KenDoddsDadsDogEatsTinsel]

Orla Louise Rayne works well. And would remind your OH that the order of middle names doesn't really matter. Then your friend is happy too!

[Rachy91]

aww i do like that actualy :)

ill run it by him and see what he says! although i wont tell him that the order doesnt matter (although it really doesnt ) because then he'll be moaning that the middle name isnt good enough! (comprimise doesnt happen with him, hes like a spoilt child when it comes to things like this and im not giving in this time!)

thanks :)

Hi guys! Its me, Rachy91 with my new name :)

just found this thread again and thought id let you all know that she is called Orla Raine (first name and middle name, not double barrelled- thank god!)

she gets lots of lovely comments on her name and not to much hassle spelling yet!

thanks for all your help, it really suits her :)

[FairyArmadillo]

Congratulations. Lovely name

[5DollarShake]

Congratulations - I love Orla!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Congratulations! It's a great name

[fuzzybunny]

Congratulations I love the name Orla. I have a beautiful 2 year old Orla Avril.

I don't know weather I should say this now as you have decided on Raine as a middle name (also love that btw), only ..... Orla means Golden while Raine being, well, rain I wouldn't have been able to call my daughter Golden Shower!!

[Darnsarfupnorf]

aww orla avrils lovely! i dont think anyines going to look into it enough to come to golden shower to be hinest! though im imprressed you did! i was more bothered when i realised that orla is an anagram of oral and that her initials are 2 letters away from spelling orgasm!

[fuzzybunny]

ah yes, maybe she'll get those extra 2 letters when she gets married. x

[Janoschi]

Oona Louise?

[Janoschi]

Oops, bit late! But love your final decision. Had a wonderful friend called Patricia Raine so it's very positive for me. Enjoy your new daughter!

[Darnsarfupnorf]

oona louise is beautiful!

fuzzy im hoping her married name will be 'board' (i went to school with a lad with this name so im hoping hes got an eligable ds by now!) so she can be orla board!
