Rain 1

I used to think this name was silly, but I really like it now! Rain itself is very calming, and I feel the word/name reflects that, as it rolls off the tongue nicely and is easy to say. Very pretty :)

Gender-neutral country name! A good middle name.

This name makes me think of a grey cloudy sky peeing all over us, which is fine because Rain does do that. In Britain it does, anyway. ☔️.

It would be nice if the child was born on a rainy day or something.

Love this as a middle name.

I think Rain is an incredibly gorgeous name. Although I love it for either gender, I must admit that I would probably slightly prefer it for a boy. It's so gentle yet undeniably strong at the same time. It's short and simple but definitely unique, which I adore. It also has a refreshing bohemian charm about it which adds to the excellence of the name, in my opinion. For a boy, I think Rain Alexander, Rain August and Rain Canyon sound wonderful; for a girl, I think Rain Rosalyn, Rain Storm and Rain February are lovely; for unisex options, I think Rain September, Rain River and Rain Rene sound charming.

Lastly, there's a scripture in the Bible that says, “‘As the Rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.’” - Isaiah 55:10-11. I think that is so beautiful, and I especially love verse 10, because (especially with someone with the name Rain) it is very similar to a person, in my opinion, in that God sends a person down from Heaven, and they do not return to Heaven until they've fulfilled their purpose on Earth. So basically, what I'm trying to say, is that I love the similarity between the scripture and the cycle of life.

Overall, I think Rain is a very nice name and I have a deep love for it.

(P.S. The banner is beautiful!)

Pretty name.

Even though I like Rain, I don't think it is a good name for a person.

Beautiful name! The banner is also so nice! :D.

Rain is a cool name for a girl and a boy.

Stripper name!

I’d probably use this for a middle name.

I love rain and thunderstorms, but not this name. Sorry :/

...Just use Raina instead.

Rain is such a beautiful name. It brings a peaceful sense. I love it so much.

I would only use this as a middle name.

I personally think that this would be a great name for a character in a book that I'm writing, because of her quiet and general indoorsy-nature.

My name is Rain. It is not an uncommon name among Native American people. I was named Rain because my eyes are grey like Rain clouds. I think having a unique name is special and wish more people would consider unique names for their children.

Unique but maybe a bit dreary.

My name is actually Rain. Spelled like the weather, and I actually find it quite offensive when people say that Raine or Rayne is a better spelling because it’s more “unique” and that Rain is just plain, but I believe that my name is already unique on its own and the fact that it is spelled like Rain makes it more beautiful. I get so many compliments on my name about how beautiful it is, and NO I was not born on a rainy day, (I hate when people make that assumption) but that name was given to me because of the meaning (personal reasons I don’t feel like sharing) but I love my name regardless and I think it’s beautiful.

This makes for a very nice name. I think it's nicest spelled just like the word, Rain. Raine is nice but the e isn't really needed. Rayne is no good.

I really enjoy this name! I'm considering adding in a character named Rain in a story / novel I'm writing.

Love this, only for a girl though. And spelled Rayne is the best!

My Daughter has two middle names, one is Rain. My husband picked it. He is Native American and I suppose he wanted something Earthy. At first it was not my favorite, but now it fits her so well I could not imagine it being anything else.

My daughter's name is Rayne. I love it! We get compliments on her pretty name all the time!

My name's Raine Bower. I'm a 17 year old male and I've never been made fun of because of my name. I was born on an extremely rainy day, and just when it was getting really bad, a HUGE rainbow came right over the hospital I was born in. Hence the middle name Bower. I love my name! It defines my personality perfectly. I love bright colors and I'm always and bubbly and stuff!

Very beautiful. :)

My name is Rain and I was born in the 80's in a small town in the South. I was teased a little, but as an adult people love my name. I hear almost daily how beautiful it is. My middle name is very plain and common, Clair with no e. Clair is a family name and I think my parents did that in case I wanted to go by it instead. I now live in SoCal and my name isn't even unusual here. It fits right in with all the other hippie names. I was the only Rain I knew until recently, but now I regularly meet little boys and girls with the first or middle named Rain/Raine/Rayne/Reign. I worked as a model in Los Angeles for 10 years and think my name helped me get jobs. It works very well for someone in the entertainment industry. People always remember my name and I often am called Rain Clair as if it's one whole name instead of a first and middle name.

My middle name is actually Rain, and growing up, I thought it was weird. But, having the name Summer Rain is kind of cool. :D.

I have a cousin with this name and he is a boy and he does not get made fun of for his name. So for any of you wondering if this name could work on a boy, it can.

This is a nice sounding name, although it looks better as Raine because it's more like a name that way... not Rayne though, that looks a bit tacky.

I do like this name, I don't know for a first name, but I like it for a middle or nickname.

I like Rain for a boy. It sounds masculine to me. It's a good name!

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.

Sounds wonderful and the meaning is wonderful, but it's too hippie-like and childish.

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

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.

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.

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.

You shouldn't name people after precipitation. What's next, Hail? Sleet? Lake-Effect Snow?

What's different between "Rain" and "Lake-Effect Snow" as names is that Rain is vague enough to work.

Too sentimental for my taste.

Maybe as a nickname it is okay. It's just way overused/becoming overused.

This name is very tacky-sounding. Rain.

Very tacky.

Stripper name!

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.

This is a great name, but it's already overused as a middle name. To make the purists foam at the mouth, I'll say that I like this name spelled Rainn.

Sounds like a hippie to me.

This would be a good 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.

I adore this name for both genders, I am really considering using it one day.

I like this name, and this is my favourite spelling. It sounds very natural.

I like Rayne better. Rayne seems unique and beautiful, whereas Rain is just an ordinary word.

I grew up in a desert, and now live in a place that rains more or less every day. It's kind of special to me. I would consider naming my kid this.

This would be a great name for someone who was born on a rainy day.

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.

Very pretty. I don't know that I would consider it for a first name, but as a middle name it is lovely.

I love the name Rain. When I was in 7th grade, I knew this one girl named Rayne, and I love how it is spelled.

At once, it is both refreshing and a welcomed natural name that can grow with a person.
