Not crazy about either, but they're not horrible. I'd prn. Rayen as RAY-in, but I have no idea if that's correct. It makes me think of rayon. :b

Neither of them are my style but I prefer Rayen pronounced RAY-en.

Nerys is quite pretty, I've never heard it before but I like the sound of it. Rayen is nms, reminds me of Ryan. :)

Rayen is too similar to 'rayon' for me. Nerys is pretty.

I don't relaly like either. They both give off a poorly-conceived-fantasy-novel vibe to me. While I'd be more than willing to name children after book characters, that's not an angle I'm interested in exploring! :DI would pronunce Rayen first as RAY-yen, and then as RAH-yen (which turns into RYE-yen in my accent--rather like Ryan). On first sight, I would say Nerys as NAIR-ihs.Array

Nerys is pronounced Nah-reese or something like that, since i know a little girl and her name is Neryse.DAD: DO YOU THINK THAT WOMAN'S STILL WITH HIM?

Rayen makes me think of the synthetic fiber rayon. I like the meaning of "flower" in Mapuche, though. I would pronounce it "RAY-en", myself, but I'm not sure.Karen
