Rae for a girl?

[alexisfaith]

We're TTC and just playing around with names out of interest. Do you like Rae for a girl? What middle names might go well? The surname is similar to Branford.

I love the name Rae for a girl.
Rae Amelia
Rae Violet
Rae Elizabeth
Rae Matilda
Rae Tallulah

Don't like it at all - sounds too boyish

not keen either. prefer Rea or Ria Rhia or however you spell it

Love it, my grannie changed her name from Elsie to Rae so if we have a daughter she will have Rae as a middle name...probably Scarlet as forename

Sounds very harsh. Sorry.

Not keen on Rae for a girl, sorry.

Prefer Rea
I know two Raes and it had never struck me as a nice name.
Unusual but meh.
sorry

I know a Rae, it's a lovely name and suits her perfectly!

LOVE it!

I know a Rae, short for Rachel, and that's probably the only way I would consider it.

Rachel
Rowena
Rebecca

I really like it.

I like it

Thanks everyone - and to those who don't like it, it's okay! No need to say sorry! It is a short form of Rachael, yes. But here in Scotland, especially in the north, Rae alone as a full name is a rather normal girl's name. Good to get a well-rounded opinion ...not even pregnant yet! I love thinking about names in general.

I think it's lovely. The Rae I know is Raelene.

Not keen

I love it - its my DDs middle name and its was my (scottish) granny's middle name.
can't relly help with the middle name though!

It's fairly well-known in NZ as a name in its own right (probably the Scottish connection).

I know 2, although both late middle-aged, so that's the sort of connotation it has for me (sort of like Barbara, Marion, Ruth etc).

I hate Rae.

I'm in Scotland and have never known anyone with the name,though I'm in the Central belt not the North.
