Raymond for a girl?

[Snog]

Pronounced Ray Monde
Anyone like this name?

Rayann - even that’s an ugly name.

It is beginning to make some sense now.
If you spell it Raymonde, which might also help with the pronunciation, then it is a French girl's name.

What about Colin? But col-LYNNE ?

Is that not common in the US though? Louis thomlinsons baby mumma is called Bryann/Bryanna jugwith

She is Briana. Not Brian.

Sounds like an American pronouncing rayon!

Yeah sorry op i dont like it either how about some other similar sounding names, raven, Rayne, ramona, rae, rachel, racheal.

This has to be a joke.

Everybody loves it! ba dum tss

..... I’ll get my coat.

This thread reminds me of the one where the OP wanted people to suggest “long versions” for Hugo. She got very cross at people’s suggestions but it was HILARIOUS

Where oh where are the gender fluid lovers of retro when you need them.

Sorry no op. X

It has nothing to do with "gender fluid lovers of retro", it's just a bad name.

I knew a French-Canadian Raymonde. Can’t say I ever thought of it as Raymond as it sounded quite different.

Also know a Rae which I like.

600 people in 140 years. There's a good reason for that.

Have seen ballet ‘Raymonda’ only time ever heard it.
It’s a no from me.

Well if girls can be named Stanley and Sidney and Parker ( Yes m'lady), then why not? Other than it's not a nice name, even for a boy, and as another poster said, she won't thank you for it. Tbh, I thought you were joking to start with. Especially with the RayMONDE, sounds like a fake French hairdresser out of a CarryOn film. Don't do it!

Wow!

gender fluid lovers of retro is a great name for a band though

I don't have the strength to rtfl but has anyone said Life on Mars yet?

I prefer 'Stanley' but pronounced in a my-parents-hate-me way.

Jeeeeeesus

Yes I agree with @SoupDragon
The gender fluid thing and names deserves a whole thread all of its own!
You can call your baby anything you like, of course, just don't be surprised if people don't like your choice.

@LunaNorth

I’m hearing pronounced by Boycie off Only Fools and Horses.

“Raymonde“

Exactly this!

This thread has been highly entertaining!
OP, you are nuts!!

Poor child.
