Re: Rainer vs. Rainier
in reply to a message by REM
Yes, Rainer I would pronounce RYE-ner, but I want to pronounce it RAIN-er when I see it. Rainier I would pronounce ray-NEER or ruh-NEER.Both are very strong masculine names in my opinion.I also prefer Rainer Gray Morten. Have you considered the spelling Reiner Gray Morten? I think it would be less confusing. I love the name Rainier which I have considered as a mn for my future children since I love Mount Rainier. But with the mn and surname combo of Gray Morten I perfer Rainer / Reiner over Rainier. Wanted to add that I prefer the spelling of Reiner.Also a family name of mine is Reimer. Have you ever considered it before? I think I personally prefer Reiner / Rainer when combined with your wanted mn and surname combo.

ReinerI wouldn't have thought of this spelling. I prefer the way Rainer looks, though agree Reiner is better for pronunciation. Thank you.
