Help[Opinions] Re: Raewyn (f)
in reply to a message by A
It's not bad. Far better than Raelyn, which sounds hilariously like railing.
I'm sort of partial to -wyn / wen / win names and I like the Ray sound too, so it does have some appeal. I think I hesitate to say I really like it, because I think it is a little bit hard to say, with the proximity of the R and W.

The stress for Raelynn is on the second syllable, not the first. It's ray LYN.

Yes. It still reminds me of railing.
Once several years ago I was hanging out in a botanical garden with my kids and they met some other kids. The girl introduced her sister, Raelynn, and when she said it I could tell she often gets misunderstood because she pronounced it very slowly and carefully and then repeated it. It's a pretty name on paper, I just think it's too odd and difficult spoken aloud.
