Girls names to go with Rae

[Dav87]

Hi!
We are giving our baby girl the middle name Rae, named after my sister 😊 Here are the names we have narrowed down to go with it:

Poppy
Evie
Lily
Safia

What’s everyone’s thoughts? Are there any other names you like that go nicely with Rae?

Thanks! x

My son actually has an old man's name as his is Ray. I didn't like it at first but can't think of him as anything else now and he has no one else at school with the same name.

I like Lilly Rae.

I really love Rae as a first name. It’s cool and strong. Would you not fancy that at all?

Emma Rae. Lena Rae. Voodoo Rae

❤️ Poppy Rae.
Layla Rae
Daisy Rae
Molly Rae
Emilia Rae
Tilly Rae
Chloe Rae
Anna Rae
Olivia Rae
Lucy Rae
Zoe Rae
Demi Rae
Megan Rae
Elsie Rae
Jasmine Rae
Sienna Rae

Agree that you should just choose a name you like and then add Rae.

Holly Rae
Melissa Rae
Xanthe Rae
Pippa Rae
Imogen Rae
Alicia Rae
Natalie Rae

I think you're looking at it the wrong way round - mostly, people don't even know someone's middle name. Pick the first name you love - even if it doesn't 'fit' with Rae - that's the least important criterion.

She'll be X and nobody will even know what her middle name is, mostly.

Of your suggestions, I like Poppy the most. Lily and Evie are just so popular and common, and I don't like Safia - just a bit made uppy.

Millie-Rae

Belle
Lois
Nina

Lola Rae
Lila Rae
Nancy Rae
Jessica Rae
Hailey Rae
Stella Rae
Daisy Rae
Alana Rae

Don't worry about the popularity of a middle name if you love it. I think using your sister's name is really lovely regardless of popularity, much nicer than choosing a random cute short name for the sake of it.

I don't really like any of the 'ae' names at all, but Rae does go with most things. It's hard to think of a name that it wouldn't work well with really. Your choices all sound nice, and I like the PP's suggestion of Arden. Eden could also be nice.

Is it a true middle name, eg just for forms etc? Because if it is you'll really never say it so just choose names you like (and make sure the initials are ok!). However if you're treating it more like a hyphenated name then it matters more.

DD has an Ella with Rae as a mn.

Agree with PP please don’t worry about the popularity of a middle name. The name has a lot of significance to you and you’d feel really dissapointed if you picked a more unusual name only to find out that name suddenly booms in popularity anyway and has no meaning to you

Love all your choices except for Safia as it sounds made up and almost identical to loads of more popular names that it will constantly get misheard and misspelt. I’d pick Lily or Poppy - so lovely

Here are some other suggestions for first names though:

Willa
Imogen
Sadie
Edith / Edie
Margaret /Maggie/Peggy
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna/Rosanne
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie /Ottie
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Holly
Cleo
Mabel
Marnie

Love the name Rae - We are going to call DD2 Rachel so we can use the nn Rae.

Not sure what to suggest as a 1st name but it goes with most names so I'm sure you'll find something nice

My friend has a Darcey Rae.
