My husband and I named our daughter Rayleigh Blake, and it is beautiful! I saw something that had Rayleigh written in it when I was 15, and knew I wanted to name my child that. I have a sister who goes by Ray, so we call our daughter Leigha or Leigha B. We really couldn't be more happy with the name; she loves it, and we love it!
