What do you all think of the name Raya?

[Lmaoo]

Our first little girl, due in March

I like Raya. I haven't heard it in other contexts.

Raya’s very pretty in sound imo, but it does feel quite 2020’s/trendy to me (partly because every other little girl at the moment has a short, 2 syllable “ah” ending name - the rest are 2 syllable and end in “ee” instead 🤣).

And there might be possible spelling issues (as I have seen Reya and Rhea), although Raya seems by far the most popular spelling. But there are much worse names out there, so I say go for it if it’s the name you are most drawn to.

I like it - it fits with current naming trends (short, vowelly) but is a little different.

I met a lady called Reya recently (pronounced, I assume, the same as Raya) and genuinely my first thought was what an unusual and beautiful name.
I've not heard of the dating app

I wouldn’t use it as it’s the name of a well known dating app.

My son's girlfriends name is Raya pronounced R -ai -ya .She is 25 so long before the dating app. Think it's a gorgeous name.

is it a boy or a girl? I know it’s a dating app and the surname of the Arsenal GK…

I wouldnt pick it personally but pretty much anything goes these days so if you like it go for it

I used to teach a little Raya (I think that part of her family originated from Central America), and another girl with a slightly longer name that could be shortened to Raya, so I like it!

It’s v popular as a girls name right now. And it’s pretty.

Рая... виждам пред мен.
Не вярвам, че това е края.
Влизам в нов ден.

It might be a dating app but it's also 'Heaven' in Bulgarian.

Ray is a geriatric man wearing a string vest and just putting 'uh' on the end doesn't improve it at all.

She’ll be called Ryan air at school…

Daya is lovely

.

yes, a close friend named her baby this about 18 months ago, and it's gone from being 'huh? never heard of it' to 'there were two others in baby sensory with the same name,' in just that short span. I think it's nice though.

It’s not an attractive name…imo
