Help[Opinions] Re: Rae
in reply to a message by Ani
I feel like this is the redneck form of Rachel, similar to how Mitch seems like the redneck Michael to me. It's also similar to Renee or Jayden, Cayden, etc and fillery like Mae and Rose.
It's okay. I like it a lot, considering I dislike several comparable names much more.
I agree that Rey (as in Star Wars) looks like it'd be the most popular spelling in the US: it's more modern seeming than Rae, more feminine than Ray, less exclusively Asian seeming than Rei. I was a little surprised it didn't rise more in popularity after Star Wars came out. It's minimalist and unisex, with an ambiguous origin - seems on trend without being faddish.
But anyway! I prefer Raina or Raya or Rhea.
