Other suggestions for spelling could be: Rayley or Rayleigh. I like Rayley Mae.

May is a lovely mn. Raylee seems completely made-up and silly to me.

It just doesn't sound good together, IMO. Incredibly matchy/rhymey ... almost like you couldn't make up your mind and just saddled her with both. I'd cut to the chase and use Maylee (pronunciation, not spelling) with a different mn. Or combine the two to get Mary, nn Mailli or even Molly, or something along those lines. Raylee May just doesn't do it for me, though. Sorry. :(

I like Raylee, not spelled this way though, especially with May spelled this way. I like
these much better.

just to add WHY i don't like Raylee May spelled this way.

It is too matchy. She will be called Ray-May. And I just don't like Raylee spelled this way, it looks very made-up. It looks like you are teaching someone how to pronounce the name, not the real spelling.

Raley
Rayley
Raeley

look more like a realy name, especially Raley.

Raley Mae is my favorite.

The RAY part of Raylee is too rhymey with May - if you use Raylee, you definitely do not want May, Kay, Jay, etc. in the middle - nothing with a long A in fact

if you need the May for family purposes, then I'd suggest changing the Raylee to Rylee - Raylee is kinda weird anyway, like a play on the Kaylee, which there are a dozen spellings of

My DD went to preschool this last year with a Baylee, Hailey, Kayleigh and is good friends with a Maylee. I thought it impossible to add another rhyming name to all of these. Instead of Raylee I would really rather see Riley or Rayna/Raina.

Honestly this name doesn't pass the Supreme Court test for me, it is a really cute little girl name, but I don't think it would be as nice on an adult.



Thank you for the sig Mary

Far too rhymey. I like Rayla better than Raylee, which is a little too cutesy for me. If I remember correctly, Ray was the family name you wanted to incorporate, so...

Rayla Jane
Rayla Dawn
Rayla Paige
Rayla Grace

Rayna Corinne
Rayna Marie
Rayna Beth
Rayna Joan

Raylee May is way to matchy for me! Why not Rylee? IMHO Raylee is just strange.
