I love this name, very beautiful. I actually like Rainie. Rain and Rainie are often used as a nickname for Lorraine. If I was going to use the name Rain I would spell it Rayne. With the name Rain you might get jokes about the weather or people making comments about needing an umbrella when you walk in the room.

This would be a great name for someone who was born on a rainy day.
Hi! My name is Madison Rein (kre8iv spelling for Rain) and growing up I didn't really like my name. However, now I love my name and it fits perfectly. I like how it sounds nice, quiet, and refreshing. For a first name I would personally go with Reina because otherwise your child may endure some teasing. Rain Rain Go Away. Rainy Day. Rain Cloud. But that's just my opinion from what I've grown up enduring. Thanks.
Rainn Wilson (born Rainn Dietrich Wilson) is an actor, most famous for his role as Dwight Shrute on the American version of "The Office". He's also appeared in movies such as The Last Mimzy and My Super Ex-Girlfriend, among many other films and TV shows.
While they might endure some teasing, Rain, spelled exactly the way it is, is very natural and peaceful. I'm currently writing a book, and Rain is the main character of it. I love the name, and unlike some names, it's beautiful to me every time I hear it.
Rain could be a nickname for Miranda. I think? I had a friend named Miranda and her nickname was Rain. I guess it's because you can spell Rain in Miranda.

Rain Ocampa was a central character in the movie "Resident Evil." She was played by actress Michelle Rodriguez.
Personally I wouldn't name someone Rain in case of any teasing they might have to endure. However, if I did, I would spell it Raine just to be slightly more different from the precipitation rain.

It seems like a very refreshing, pleasant-sounding name to me. But if I named my child this, I would be sure to give them a more normal middle name they could go by if they didn't like it.
I would like to state that this is my name. Spelled the same. I think it's a lovely name and people should not be put off by the spelling. I've had it for a good long time and barely ever get teased about the weather, or songs, or anything else. But I have personally struggled with the fact that men have it, because it's not very manly and also makes me feel that my name is less pretty. Just some things to think about.

I know someone named Rainy but I don't know if it's their real name or not. Also, when I see the name Hailey I actually do think of hail.

Call me crazy, but I think the combo "Rain Storm" is quite appealing... (for a boy).

Sounds wonderful and the meaning is wonderful, but it's too hippie-like and childish.
For a girl, I really like this name. It's simple, yet very pretty. I think it's very feminine. I wouldn't make this my daughter's first name, but it would be really pretty as a middle name.
