Reign??

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

How and when did this become an actual name?

Kourtney Kardashian has a soon called Reign. That's enough to put me off 😂

I first noticed it a few years back when Kourtney Kardashian named her son Reign Aston. I think its popularity is almost certainly down to celebrities.

Raine for a girl is much older though - think Princess Diana's stepmother.

Lee Ryan has a son called Rayn. I'm pretty sure that there was a thread on here when he was born, pointing out that Rayn is an anagram of Ryan and giving suggestions for future children's names.

I like it. Reign is obviously a more regal association than Rain/Rainn for example but I think both are great. Definitely not too “out there” when you consider some names these days! 🤭

pp’s saying Raine - this, at least imo, is used as a nn for Lorraine :) Reign or Rain/Rainn would be standalone I suppose.

Didn't see that thread but I hope someone suggested his next child could be called Eel.

I don't know if you're into knitting at all, but traditional Catalonian sheep farms produce the finest Ele Yarn which is perfect for making snug winter jumpers

We've a Raine, it's a beautiful name.

The only Reign I know of is the Kardashian one.
