Wow you people are bashing a name because it is different and I know y'all have the right to your own opinions, but opinions are like a****les... y'all have a great evening!
There is a variation on this name in Afrikaans which is "Raleen" and the name is indeed rare... The name "Raleen" came about by combining two names Rachel and Magdaleen, using the "Ra" from Rachel and the "leen" from Magdaleen (Magdalena), both of which are Hebrew names... This name is extremely rare, and only a few in comparison to other names, exist around the world. So for all out there with the name "Raleen"... It is a rare name... beautiful and special...
Sounds like some people want to go back to the country, and back to 1950s America in the country, to be precise, and to have a daughter that grows up to be an utter ditz who marries some dimwit guy at the age of 18.
Raelene Boyle is an Australian athlete (sprinter). She was the first women to carry the Australian flag into the opening ceremony at the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
Sounds more like an athlete - especially a surfer girl - to me. It sounds young and energetic, yet with self control. It is a ray (rae) of sunshine that brightens people's day.
I think that this name sounds like somebody that lives in West Virginia on a rural farm and has no running water and has to walk ten miles in the snow.
