Too many ‘R’s, right?
Hi people out there who engage in this random website. Looking for some unbiased feedback on the names Rae (first) Reverie (second) - Is this as ridiculous/weird as I have made it to be in my head? Baby girl.

Rae is a lovely name. Reverie comes from a root word meaning "drunkenness", it is a terrible name for a child.

I think it's perfectly fine, because how often are you called by your first and middle name? Except with official happenings, I can't remember I have. Personally I also love alliterate names and Rae Reverie is lovely.

My initial thought is that Rae seems too much like its a nickname of Reverie so it sounds like you're essentially calling her Becky Rebecca.I also agree that there's too many Rs involved. Never heard of Reverie before and I'm not against it. I think a different first name would be better, if you're open to switching out RaeEdit: Though you might want to check if that product RoxStar mentions exists where you're from because that could be a dealbreaker for Reverie

Yes, too many r's, and Rae sounds more like it could be a nickname for Reverie.
And to top it off, Reverie is a female lubricating product.

I actually like it, not too many R's and Reverie is great. I'm not a huge fan of Rae on a girl (I do like Ray on either gender) but it sounds good as a combo.

I think the R thing is okay. Not ideal, but not the worst thing.
But I think Reverie is a dumb name and wouldn't want to be named it. The word *would sound and look* good if it were a namey word, but the word doesn't have positive connotations. I don't really think it matters if someone gets a dumb middlename because people can conceal them if they want to. But I think it'd just sound too gimmicky, especially once you add the repeated sounds - it's a little too much like Mae Mystique or Fay Fantasia, and honestly I'd resent having a name like that. I'd give Rae Reverie like, 6 out of ten possible ridiculousness points. Some people will like it... I'm not one.

Yes too many rs and I think a more feminine middle would be nice
