Help[Opinions] Re: RAYNER, RAINER or REINER?
in reply to a message by Azor
Raynor would be my preferred spelling if you're pronouncing it Ray-ner.
Just because Rayner seems nerdy to me. Reminds me of Maynard. An -or ending looks stronger to me.
Rainer is pretty good. Surnamey. I doubt that people spelling it Rainier would be a problem, but it could be sometimes. I live within sight of Mt Rainier, and that's very different, it's said ruh-N(y)EER around here.
Reiner looks like it should be pronounced "RYE-ner" instead, like I think it would be in German. I would not pronounce it with a "Ray" sound.
