I'd do either Lori or Rainie.

The Lorraines I've known have gone by either Lorrie or Lolly. And the Laines have been versions of Elaine.

Lori could be a nickname for many different names.Here's a list of names containing "lor":
http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=*lor*&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=orThe only ones that I don't really see working that are included in that list are Taylor and Mallory, but the others work.These are my favorites:
Lorelei
Loredana
Lora
Lorea
Lorena
Lorna
HanneloreI like both Lori and Laine as nicknames for Lorraine, but Laine is a bit more interesting.

Lori could be a nn for:Hannelore (sounds like "Hannah + Laura")
Lorelei
Eleanor / Eleanora / Lenore etc.
Laurel
Lourdes
Dolores
Liora
Lorna
Elora / Alora (This rings a bell. I'm not sure if it's a real name or not, though. Double check.)
Aurelia
Coralie
