I wouldn't use it, though I live in a water-stressed country and rain is anything but depressing. That said, like the rest of the world we are experiencing strange weather, including some very damaging rainstorms and floods. But still... a sheep farmer I knew went for two years without any rain at all. The sheep were eating prickly-pear cactus leaves for liquid. I don't enjoy word names, geographical or meteorological names of any kind, so Rain, Raine, Rainie etc do nothing for me. RoxStar points out that Raine can be a nn for Lorraine, which gives it a bit more dignity than usual, but to my taste, not enough.
