WDYTO Reina?
What do you think of the name Reina for a baby girl? I'm not really attached, but DH loves it. I know that there are a few different spellings (Reina, Rayna, Raina, etc.) but I have yet to meet a spelling that makes me like it much more. What do you guys think?

I love it. I knew a Rayna & a Reyna in college & both were great people to be around. There's also the spelling Reigna, if you care for it. Conversely, you could suggest Regina (possible nns Reggie, Gina) if you prefer it to Rayna, as they mean the same thing.To be born Welsh is not to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but with a song in your heart.

Lovely, but I prefer Rayna.Another attractive spelling is Reyna, WDYTO that one?_____________________________________________________________________"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true."Elinor

I think it's pretty. Not sure how I'd spell it, though. Reina seems like it would be constantly misspelled and she'd have to spell it for everyone. But it's also the prettiest spelling, imo. :b

I love the name Reina. I like all the different spellings, but I probably like Reina the best because it means Queen in Spanish. I also like Rina (pronounced Reena). I believe there are a couple different meanings for this name also.

I believe the name Reina is a Yiddish name prn REH-ee-nah meaning "clean" or a French name prn RAIN-nah meaning rain. Maybe to be sure you get the correct prn and meaning you should spell it Raina or Rayna which would also be a English name meaning rain. Just a suggestion.
I think it is a beautiful name either way Reina or Raina and I even kind of like REH-ee-nah if someone were to prn it that way.

Nope... Reina in Yiddish is rie-nah... and it's no French name... "Rain" is "pluie" in French... sorry...

I think if you want the Rayna/Raina pronunciation you should go with one of those spellings. Reina could get mispronounced as Ree-nuh, instead of Ray-nuh. I don't particularly like the name anyway. I prefer Raine.

I love Reina and Reyna, pron ray-nah. They're family names to me, since my maternal grandmother is Sephardic.
