hey everyone, I am still waiting until my daughter is born in a few weeks to decide on her name but i am also throwing some names around. What do you think of Raine?
Which spelling Rain or Raine?
i think i like the second more, it will probably be a middle name,but opinions please on it as a first and middle name. (I love nature names, if this baby had been a boy i would have definately called him River).

Do you know anyone named Rain/Raine? what do they think of this name?
Thanks T.
:)

I really like Raine on a girl or Rain on a boy. I know a young girl named Raine.

Well, neither are really my style. Raine looks more like a name, but also looks misspelled. I much prefer Reine, which I find quite lovely. I choose Raine I suppose, but only as a mn

Raine seems a lot more elegant to me.

River will be my future sons name. Rain would be one of my future daugthers. I prefer the spelling Rain, I ADORE both names!

But the name kind of makes me sad it's sort of melancholy

I don't know anyone with this name but I do like it. Raine or Rain is fine to me but I do like it more as a middle.

I think I prefer the spelling Rain. Personally, I would only use it as a mn. I don't know anyone named Rain or Raine, but I do know a boy named Rayne. I'm not really sure on his feelings towards his name, but I always thought that it suited him.

Raine Maida is the lead singer of a (once great) Canadian band called Our Lady Peace. Because I was a fan of theirs for such a long time, I cannot imagine this name on a girl.

Rain is better for a girl.

Raine is better IMO. Somehow it just makes it look more like a name.

I'd never use it as a first name, but it's very nice as a middle name.

I think either spelling is acceptable; I like them both equally. I think it's very pretty for either a fn or mn. I don't know anyone named Rain/e, though.

I like the name...love it as a mn...but I personally prefer it spelled Rain. Spelled Raine, it has the appearance of having unnecessary letters tacked on the end in my opinion.

It's not my favorite name, but it could make a nice mn. I much prefer Rain over Raine. You will be expecting her to do well in spelling at school (I assume). A good place to start is her own name.

P.S. It just occurred to me that Raine is more like a nn for Lorraine. But since you stated you like names from nature, that's probably not what you're after. (Unless you consider that Lorraine is a place name, sort of a nature name.)
