My uncle's name is Ray

I wouldn't use it myself though, except possibly as a middle name.

I like it. I also like Roderick, Ralph, Roy, Desmond, and Rosamond, in my mind similar names.

This is my Dad's name. (He was born 1945). Most people call him Ray. As a kid we (my siblings and I) thought it was awful. Now as an adult I like it, you don't hear it too much, so he never had 5 Rays in his class or anything like that. Sometimes my mother calls him Ramon as a joke. Sometimes I tease him that "Everybody Loves Raymond". If I ever were to have a son I'd like to use it as a middle name.

Like it!

imo it is a horrible name. Not only do I not like the name Raymond (although I have known two that were great people) but Ray is a terrible nn (I have known a Ray and he was an alcoholic, abusive person - so that swings me on the nn - so you might want to disregard my opn with the nn). But I have never liked Raymond.

I dont like it. Its not that it is a bad name there are just so many that are better.

Love it! Ray isa such a cool and yet simple nn. I would use it if I didn't have a cousin named Ray.

They will see us waving from such great heights,
'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I am a rarity, I love it.

---

I don't know why, but I really, really do.

---

It will probably take off around the time my niece has children, though. Its a '50s name!

great name

I like the name Raymond quite a bit. It's a family name for me, though, so I'm a little biased. :-) But I'm positive about the name in general.

Everybody Loves Raymond! :- He might hear this at first, but I think the show is going off the air soon (or has already...I've never really loved Raymond, lol). Seriously, though, I've known a few Raymonds and I really like the name, but I've never met a RAY that is a nice, decent guy. Does that make sense? lol

Don't like it, sorry.
