I think Raymond is a wonderful name graced with strength and class. I adore the meaning, and I love the reliable nickname “Ray”. I also think Raymond ages flawlessly, as I can easily picture it on a male of any age. Overall, I think Raymond is a great name.

Raymond is a successful name. I have never come across anyone that bears the name that is not doing well in all aspects of life, and they have a uniqueness in them that indicates how brave and cool they are, lastly they are loved by everyone.

As you can see Raymond is a counselor, a protector. I love bearing Raymond because I have been derived by the meaning of my name.

A little ‘expired’ now. Only adults will bear the name.
It's a classic. But after the 20th century, it's sad to see its popularity languish to these meaningless "youneek" names that we have no idea how they've they become this popular now.

My grandfather's name was Raymond, and now my brother's middle name is Raymond. My brother doesn't seem to like this name too much, but I think it is a nice, strong name. Not that common either.
It's my great-uncle's name too, and I don't see how you can say a name is "an old man's name". Old men were kids once, and besides, would you rather your son have a childish name like Brayden?
Anybody I've ever met with the name Raymond doesn't like his name and just goes by Ray. I don't know why, but for some reason all the Raymonds out there don't like being Raymond. Everybody loves Raymond except Raymond.
All the people I know called Raymond just go by Ray. I wouldn't say the name is overused to me. I've only seen two people with that name. It's a cool name, but I wouldn't call my son that.

I think it's a good solid boy's name. It's my son's middle name.
This is my last name and I hate it because every time someone finds out my name they always go "everyone loves Raymond". And also I hate this name because it is French, not that I don't like the French but my first name is Danielle which is also French, my name is so French.
Raymond is the name of Dustin Hoffman's character in the film Rain Man. There is a Swedish pop group called Raymond & Maria.

I didn't like it at first because I related it to older people, but since I've had a boyfriend with this name, it has proven to me that Raymonds are gentle giants with a heart of gold.
