Help[Opinions] Re: Raylan
in reply to a message by Jeeka
I like the name Ray and the -an ending trend so Raylan should have a pretty good chance with me.
My first impression of it, is that it sounds a little bit like a brand name (a la Raytheon?); and it sounds a lot like Raelyn - which is a similar kind of name but usually used for girls. And it might evoke the character really strongly, for those familiar with him. Those things would bother me too much, personally, for me to use it, even if it were my favorite name.
It's not my style, it doesn't really impress me. But I think it's usable and there is nothing really bad about it. It sounds pretty nice, and can be shortened to Ray. It's easy to pronounce and would seem pretty normal, like it could be a surname name. So, eh. I think it's okay.
