For a girl.... What could Ray/Rae be a nn for?

[Hotmad]

I heard Rachel..... Any others?

Ramona?

Raylene if you live in a trailer in the deep south of America?

There is an unfortunate child named Rae/Ray around my way. The poor thing is female too. It just makes me think, "Raymond" whatever the gender.

Raven, Lorraine, Tracey,

Raewen

Aurelia?

Raeanne

I had a school friend called Ray whose full name was Hayley.

Reina, Raina, Reyna, Rayna.

Reagan

Traditionally, Mary

Renee? We have a family friend with this name and we've always called her Aunty Rae

Why, though? It's not a great name, especially spelt Rae. Or Ray actually.

Raine

Reneé (pronounced ren-ay) is my first thought.

Rachael?

I know two women called Ray, in both cases it is short for Raywyn.

What Eirkur said. Rae/Ray is not a great name.

I have only ever known one Rae. She is middle aged and absolutely lovely

One of my bf is called Rae. I have always thought it was a beautiful name. It means doe I believe.

I know a middle-aged Ray, short for Rosemary

Raya

I know one girl just call Rea. Its lovely and I have never thought about it being used as a nn for her it's just her name

Opps meant to be Rae

Rachelle is the first that comes to mine.

Similar sounding Rei as nn for Reina would be my first choice though.

My niece is called Raya - or, for something different, Soraya?
