Re: Rain
in reply to a message by Pickles
Not very appealing, but not awful either.
Kinda dreary. The sensory associations I have are cold, gray/darkened, descending. Symbolism is grief and purification. Kinda gothy, but tamed-down because rain is ordinary, and the word is ordinary. Kinda hippie or new-agey, because it's "naturey" and elemental.
I like Reign a bit better. Reign does not seem to take itself so seriously.
I think Rain sounds namey enough, that if I were calling someone that IRL, I could forget the idea of "rain" and just think of it the way I think of surname Rayne. Same as with Reign.
4.5/10 About as bad/good as Winter, Cherry, Lotus, Cedar, Meadow, Stormy, Lake, Rainbow, Reign.
Worse than Wolf, Ocean, Zephyr, Rio, Kestrel, Sky. Better than Salem, Gray, Tempest, Seven, Wednesday, Wilde, Snow.
