[Opinions] Re: Raleigh
in reply to a message by queenv
It sounds okay, but I don't find it enjoyable out of a surname context. It's a bit childish, for lack of a better word. I'm sure I'd grow to find it endearing if I knew someone by the name, but it just doesn't do anything for me. Very casual. I see it on a boy rather than a girl. I feel like I've met a million Raleighs even if I've only encountered one to none. That probably has to do with the inundation of similar names; lots of Rileys of various spellings, lots of -leighs, lots of surnames-to-first names, etc. Rawly is almost preferable and cute -- more as a nickname.
