Ray Davies, The Kinks' lead singer and main songwriter (You Really Got Me, A Well-respected Man, Dead End Street, Waterloo Sunset, Lola) is a famous bearer.
Ray McCooney in Little Britain is a famous character with this name. He is meant to be Scottish and his most famous catchphrase is 'if you ask me on a Monday, I'd say yesss'.
My middle name is Ray. I am a girl. I didn't like my name when I was little. Now I like it very much. I thought it was a boy's name. I was named after a Jewish woman my mother knew. Are there any more women out there with this name?
I can't believe nobody has contributed this yet, but Ray is the middle name of Bill Ray Cyrus and his daughter, Miley Ray, also known as Hannah Montana. It's also Jason Earl's "honorary" middle name.
"Ray" is the middle name Miley Cyrus chose to switch her middle name to, after changing it from Destiny Hope Cyrus. (She said it was "in honor" of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.)

My brother and father are both named Ray. I really like this name better than Raymond. It's short and reminds me of both the sun and the sun god Ra. I don't know any other Ray's personally, so; I think the name is unique as a first name. When I think of Ray I think of sunshine and power.
