HelpRe: Rayne -yay or nay?
in reply to a message by number1212
My very first reaction was to mentally associate Rayne as a creative extrapolation/feminization of Ray / Raymond. I did not think of the nature word or see any mental imagery as I do when I read the Rain spelling.
On its own, Rayne did not strike me as "tacky" but if this spelling is meant to mean "rain", the alteration does feel silly to me. I don't mind Rayne visually and it's easy to pronounce. Sound-wise, I prefer Reyna / Rayna.
