Yea middle name has to be Rae my other halfs name is ray and his grandad was ray and as he doesn't want any more children he would like the name passed down if baby was a boy would have been Freddie ray but as its a girl it's a struggle

Molly Rae is lovely Smile .

SnozzberryPie · 07/08/2015 21:48

I meant that Rachel could be a feminine version of Raymond, but if it has to be rae then I'd use a different first name, or two middle names eg isla Jane rae, isla Louise rae.

AngieBolen · 07/08/2015 21:54

Just go for Isla Rae.

You're hardly ever going to use those names together anyway...she will be Isla Surname.

I love the name Isla, so pretty. The only one I know of is the actress from the Shopaholic films. I also like Ilona. That would go well with Rae too.

BootsTheCat · 07/08/2015 22:51

Is anyone else starting to think of Enola Gay?

LovelyBranches · 07/08/2015 23:01

I like the pp suggestion of Alice Rae and I think that Oliviia and Alice sound like adorable little sisters.

LovelyBranches · 07/08/2015 23:02

Who is Enola gay? I'm glad there are some nice people on this thread whenever I have a negative opinion I always am sensitive at the same time I suppose I did ask for it :/

Enola Gay was the name of the plane used to bomb Hiroshima, named after someone's mother (the pilot, I guess).

Tamsin Rae
Freda ( nn Freddie ) Rae
Katy Rae
Maisie Rae

Isla is really popular where I am too. Imogen is less popular here and I think it is such a pretty name.

DefinitelyMaybeBaby · 08/08/2015 08:41

Isla very popular where I am, and 5th most popular girls name in the UK. I love a previous suggestion of Georgia.
Georgia Rae Hall Grin is a good un!

TheoriginalLEM · 08/08/2015 08:44

the Rae suggests traveller/gypsy connections. In a romantic sort of way. (my grandmother was a gypsy)

TheoriginalLEM · 08/08/2015 08:45

enola gay is a song by the pet shop boys

MsJuniper · 08/08/2015 08:46

I don't know any Islas OP but I have heard it has become a popular name. How long have you got, is it worth waiting until the official lists come out? They also give regional info so you can check your area for popularity.

Fwiw I think Isla Rae is lovely, I see what pp mean about the IRA but personally I don't think it's a link people would make on a daily basis.

SanityClause · 08/08/2015 08:48

Ramona is the feminine version of Raymond, although Isla Ramona is a bit of a mouthful!

TheoriginalLEM · 08/08/2015 08:49

really like meridith rae actually.

constance rae?

emily rae?

for some reason i think the first name needs three syllables so that it stands alone.

Enola gay was a B 29 bomber and a track by OMD
