HelpRe: Rainer vs. Rainier
in reply to a message by REM
Rainer = Raynor
Rainier = reh-NEER, like the mountain
I think Rainer looks like a surname name, and is basically Raynor ... a little nerdy but masculine.
I think Rainier looks like it's after the mountain, but then, I can see it from where I live on a clear day, so my perspective's all messed up. I guess I think that without considering the mountain, Rainier seems a little more pretentious and accordingly ... I don't want to say it's less masculine, but it's not as butch. I prefer the sound of Rainier though.
Rainer Gray Morten is fine but does slightly evoke bad weather.
