HelpRe: Rain
in reply to a message by Lily
In the Tswana language, the word Pula means Rain and is used as a given name; always female to my knowledge. The first syllable sounds like Pull, and the a on the end is just like the a on the end of Anna. Botswana is a desert country, and they value rain greatly: their currency is also the pula!
In the UK, when Princess Diana's father married a woman called Raine (who was I think the daughter of Barbara Cartland the romantic novelist) the child used to make a nuisance of herself by singing "Raine, Raine, go away" over and over. Not a pleasant story.
It's been suggested as a nn for Lorraine, but the Lorraines I've known have all been Lolly or Lori.
