I've always liked Raina. In my family it's a nn for Regina. :)

I think Raina (pr'd RAY-na, though I imagine the actual pron. in Czech, Polish etc. could be quite different) is really nice. However, there are other -aina names I prefer, such as Elaina.

pretty name

i like them all

I love Raina, though I prefer Reina (I also like Reyna and the related names Reine and Raine).

I don't like it

I really like Raina/Reina as well! I also like the name Rina. I remember a pretty girl who was our counselor at camp when I was little named Rina. They are all pretty, not too frilly, and unique. I suppose Rina could be a nickname for Serina, Sabrina, etc.

I used to like Raina, probably about 2-years-ago, but then my love for more "out there" names faded out. It's OK, but I wouldn't recommend it or anything. As a middle name, it's fine. I don't care for the middle name choices you've listed, but I like Raina Willow flows the best.

I like Raina and I think Raina Angeline is gorgeous! :)

Well, my friend Toria's daughter is named Reina Madeleine. It think it's cute and it really suits her.

Raina Azura ranks high for me! :)
Raina Willow soounds great
and
Raina Angeline flows well, even if it is nms.

Every time I started to write Raina I wrote Rainer and had to back up and re-type the ending. Remembrances of Sterling.

*sigh* It's an old favorite of mine.. I keep forgetting about it.

I kind of like the spelling Reina better, because it looks like it should have a less "twangy" pronunciation, to me. But Raina is nice, with the "rain" association particularly.

---

Raina Willow and Raina Angeline are very nice; I'm not sure the -na An- part flows great, but that doesn't have to matter.

My combos:
Reina Claudia
Reina Maude
