Comments and insights on the name Rae: | Edit

This is my middle name. I didn't like it when I was younger, because "it's a boy name" but I love it now, because it's after my grandfather who I love, and it's a pretty uncommon name for girls my age. I've thought about going by this instead of my first name because my first name is very common.

This is also my middle name, and I was also named after my great-grandfather. It has been a tradition through my family to give this as a middle name to your first-born daughter. My grandmother is Donna Rae, my mother Lori Rae, and I am Courtney Rae. I think it's very unique and goes well with lots of names.

Personal experiences with the name Rae: | Edit

This is my first name. My name is actually "Raelene" i prefer to go by Rae though. I don't really like going by Raelene that much, but i like having the choice to have a nick name..... If you're calling me Raelene then i know it's either formal, or im in trouble. If i ever feel as though i don't really love the name, all i have to do is consider having a name like Jennifer or Amanda...... and then i LOVE my name, and the fact that my parents were able to look further than the latest top 10 list.
