Re: Rain and Rainie - cute or depressing?
in reply to a message by Amandine
I think it's got an attractive sound, not particularly sad or depressing. But I also think there's often a cheesy quality to it, especially when so many people seem to like to match it up with other word names and you get crap like Summer Rain or Rain Willow.
I think it's best kept to the middle slot, but with a non-word fn.
Rainy/Rainie does nothing for me. My mother's name is Lorraine and she has often been called Rainy by her friends, or sometimes Lori, though she doesn't have any particular preference for either or for just Lorraine.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
