I love it. I think it's really handsome, and although it ends in -leigh, I don't think of it as a typically trendy name.

I love Raleigh. I think it's so handsome and would love to meet one. I can't se it myself because I have a son named Emerson and both Emerson and Raleigh are street names in our neighbourhood - so it just feels a litte silly.

To be honest, I like it, a lot! But, I only ever thought about it for a girl, and fora middle name. Also I wanted to spell it Rayleigh... Bc Ray and Leigh are midd names of my parents, I just thought it was a super sweet way to honor them:) I think with the spelling I'd have chosen, the pronunciation issues would be mostly non-existent.
But I do think Raleigh (prn Raw-lee) is very handsome for a boy:)

Dislike it. Partly because I am pretty well over the allure of -eigh names, but mostly because I am confused by how to say it. Is is Rally? Rawly? Raylee? It is no. No no no.

I'd expect pronunciation issues. Rally? Rawly? Rayly? Rather try Walter.

I don't like it. It makes me think of the place (never been, just don't really like place names all that much) and Rally's the fast food chain.

I like it! It makes me think of a Tom Sawyer type of boy. Mischievous but with a good heart.

I don't like it, too surnamey. Also it's a bicycle manufacturers - my bike is a Raleigh.

It's the capital of North Carolina. I don't like the city. It does fit in nicely with the trend, but maybe because it's a big place that people hold off.

I used to really like it but my mind has changed. I wanted twins: Raleigh and Ramsey.

I'm not a fan of it as a name. Is it RAW lee, RAH lee, RAY lee? I know a Rayleigh who's 8, but Raelyn/ Raelynn is more popular here. I do know of a Raylee, and he's 6, I believe. To me, Ray-/ Rae- names are feminine, except for Raymond.
