My old roommate's name is Raelynne, she was named after her dad, Ramón (how they exactly came up with that I don't know-- they are Mexican and I think they wanted something "American" sounding). I always thought it was kind of a trashy name, but it grew on me. She went by Rae, which fit her pretty well.

It's my niece's name, so I'm not trashing it. My sister calls her her 'Ray of sunshine'.

Eh-it's okay. Not really my style, but, of course, not everyone can have the same naming style. On a related note, my biology teacher in high school was named Raeleen.

I'm not crazy about the way it sounds. I really like Rae, though.

I actually think its really pretty :) For a middle name combo, how about Raelyn Selina?

Lol. When I was about... 11 maybe? 12? I started making lists of names I liked, and this was one of them. At the time I thought I had made it up all by myself; then I realized there were actually people who had the name already and I didn't like it as much. I suppose I still have a soft spot for it though, even though I wouldn't use it IRL.

edit: I just realized I like Raelin. I hate Raelynn, and I only partially like Raelyn, but I like Raelin. I might change my mind on this in two minutes, but yeah.

It's a little GP of mine. I prefer Raelynn but I know I will never use it on a real-life person.

I prefer just Rae! Seems a bit less contrived
