It's not bad. Far better than Raelyn, which sounds hilariously like railing.
I'm sort of partial to -wyn / wen / win names and I like the Ray sound too, so it does have some appeal. I think I hesitate to say I really like it, because I think it is a little bit hard to say, with the proximity of the R and W.

The stress for Raelynn is on the second syllable, not the first. It's ray LYN.

Yes. It still reminds me of railing.
Once several years ago I was hanging out in a botanical garden with my kids and they met some other kids. The girl introduced her sister, Raelynn, and when she said it I could tell she often gets misunderstood because she pronounced it very slowly and carefully and then repeated it. It's a pretty name on paper, I just think it's too odd and difficult spoken aloud.

I know a few people named Raewyn. It was quite popular in NZ maybe 50 years ago.
I quite like it.

Looks made up, in the style of a lot of trendy names like Raelynn.. etc.

It looks faux Irish.

I think you meant faux Welsh?

It sounds like a little kid saying Raelynn. (That's my niece's name, and her little brother did say it like that before he mastered the L sound, or Waywynn, because he was still working on the R also.)

Raewyn (m) or Raewen (f), but I don't like either.

Raewyn seems fanciful, but it is pretty. It reminds me of Raven except with lighter undertones. With the combination of Ray and Wyn, does it mean "blessed beam of light?"
