[Opinions] Re: Rain
This is a distant memory and I'm too tired to look it up: if I recall, and this is something I read years ago, the romantic novelist Barbara Cartland named her daughter Rain back in the 1920s and took the little girl to a birthday party where one of the other small guests was the future Queen Elizabeth. She was introduced to Rain and said thoughtfully "That's a funny name" ... or it might have been "a silly name", can't recall. And the irony is that it's pronounced much like the French word 'reine' which means 'queen'.
