Randomly Decided I like This Name

satuttle1014 · August 2015

My DH and I don't find out the sex until the end of September and we pretty much have our couple of names for each and will decide once we know the sex. This morning I was just thinking about names as I always do and I have heard of the name Raina and I have always liked it and today I really like it. Opinions on the name Raina or Rayna? It means "queen" if some people like meanings. Is a good name or if I already have a list, should I just leave it off and not bother bringing it up to my hubs?

I actually know a little girl named Rayna, she is so cute and the name totally suits her!!! I love it and that was the first time I'd heard it

I don't love it but it's not horrible. I don't know the proper spelling but it looks more legit spelled Raina.

I know a Raina. She was lovely and I think the name is too. I prefer it spelled Raina.

I think it's nice. I've seen it spelled Reina too. Don't care for the Y version.

It's on our list as Reina.

Reina is the traditional spelling, and I think it looks better then the 'a' variant.

When I see Reina, I would pronounce it (ree-na) instead of (ray-na) for Raina

Rayna is how it's spelled on the show Nashville, FWIW, and that's how I think it looks best. I love the name, but have seen a lot of people using Rain/Raine/Reign lately.

I think it's pretty

I don't mind it, but I would spell it Reina- which is the actual spelling of the word "queen" in Spanish. Raina or Rayna looks more "made-up" or like a hippie name like Storm, Meadow or Cloud.....unless that's what you were going for!

I have also seen Reina and like that spelling best

I like Raina/Reina. I don't like the Rayna spelling.

Thanks for all the advice.

I don't think I have a spelling preference but it's a good name. One of the villains in Agents of Shield but I don't think that should actually be a reason to deter you from using it

I'm a purist, I only like it as Reina.

yellowbean15 · August 2015

I've always liked it. I'd add it to your list!

I love it. I babysat a little girl named Raina when I was a teenager. she was adorable

greeneyes14 · August 2015

It's really pretty and not common but not too out there either
Very pretty :-)

Reina

I knew a little girl named Veraina that they used to call Raina. I really like it. Different without being too out there.

xxdove · August 2015

I like Rayna/Raina/Reina a lot. I am usually a purist about spelling, but Rayna doesn't really bother me for some reason. Rayna is actually my favorite spelling, in terms of aesthetic.

Cute name! I like the Rayna spelling.

Too many pronunciation/spelling problems. I bet I'd like both of your other name options better than this one.
