Raleigh Alaina? Thoughts??

CeCe8579

No! Raleigh to me is masculine, a surname and a city in NC!

This!

sorry I don't care for Raleigh at all... just doesn't sound like a name to me   Alaina is pretty-  I wouldn't mind it switched to mn spot   Alaina Raleigh

Aligator28

I think North Carolina.

I agree with the previous posters...nothing about this name is appealing. 

Soap&Cider

No! Reminds me of the Rally's restaurant chain.

I have a friend who is going to name their first born son this...it has grown on me the more she talks about it!

BlueRidge8

It's bad.

doremi29

Sounds like Riley with a really weird southern-ish accent.  No good, imo.

neverblushed

Over and above the whole "masculine/NC city" thing, people would have trouble with pronunciation.

Ray-lee?

Rah-lee?

Rally?

Sounds very masculine for me.  I'd like it for a boy.   

lovebug33

I'm assuming with that middle name you are talking about a female child. I read this as a boy's name!

NMS - It's not that attractive of a place name, kind of has an awkward pronounciation.

Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina.

I live in Durham, no for me

I know a guy named Raleigh and it works for him... 'cause he's a guy. It's awful on a girl.

How are you pronouncing it?  When I see it spelt like this I think of the city in NC, which we pronounce a Ra-lee (I'm Canadian).

However my sister's name is Raelee. Pronounced Ray-lee.  Which I think is a wonderful girl's name and she gets lots and lots of compliments on it.  Have never met another.

Boys name.

"State capitals for $500, Alex?"

Don't do that.  Everyone will expect your next kid to be Indianapolis, Atlanta, Denver or Des Moines.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I actually know someone with a DD named Raleigh. That said, I don't care for it.

This. No.

I guess I have the unpopular opinion because I don't mind it (I would if you decided to somehow change the spelling). I don't get how people don't know how to pronounce it.  I have heard the name Raleigh Ann and thought it flowed well. I happen to like Charlotte and I'm not going to cross it off my list because it is the name of a city.

Disclaimer: I live in the south so hearing that word doesn't sound strange to me but I could see how it might for someone living elsewhere.

bawags

well, i think people might think you are saying Rylee/Rylie/Ryleigh when you call your child from across a room. i don't really care for it, but it doesn't sound terrible. I don't like the combination w/Alaina at all.

vanceandlori

I really like Alaina!

Fancy3Face

Eek.  I live 30 miles from Raleigh, so thats all I think of when hearing that name.  I think Alaina is really pretty. 

lageorgiapaperie

I think it's really terrible.

If the city has some significance to you I could get behind it as a mn.

Now all I can think of is the red headed girl in teen mom (Maci?) saying "Riley" and it coming out Raleigh, lol. it'd be a good sibset with Bentley. :P
