rayney/rayne

[MrsRV]

just dreaming here but love the above names for a girl. Far too "out there" for hubs though. Wondering what the above could be nn for? other than Lorraine?? if we can find a nice full length name with Rayney or Rayne as a nn he might be more agreeable!?!

Pronounced "rainy" or "rain" as in the weather???

I went to school with a girl called Rainer and my DH's grandfather was Raynor.

rainey as in the weather yes... usually a nickname for Lorraine I believe.

I know a Lorraine (mid 40's) who name changed to Rain. I quite like it, although I am not sure I would ever be bold enough to use it!

I know a teenager called Raine.

Wasn't Princess Diana's mum called Raine?

Quite like it though

Raine was Diana's stepmother.

I like it.

I prefer it spelled "Raine". But wouldn't it need one of those accent things over the "e" if you wanted it pronounced "Rainy"?

Igraine

Possibly Wren?

I have taught a Rain and Rainy

I knew a Rayna at school pronounced r
Rain - er

I have a lovely friend called Rayme, nn Amy.

Please don't spell any variant Rayney. It's awful. I knew someone called Rainey, I don't know if it was her full name or a NN.

Igraine is classy! Merlin?

What about Raina/ Rayna instead? You could have Rain or Rainy as a nn.

I know a rana pronounced raina
And a rayne. I like it.
Not shorted versions just their names.
Oh I know a morraine too, that's different and could be shortened to rain/

I know a Naraina, which can shorten to Raine?

I have a niece called Raine and her parents do call her Rainey sometimes but never thought how you'd spell that. I thought it was a bit out there when they named her but I think it's lovely now.

I think Rayna or Raina are both really nice as well.
