I just saw this girls name on our hospital website. What do you think of Raena? Would you spell it Raena or Raina? Do you think it sounds good with dd Alyssa?

Dh and I LOVE 3 boys names...but are having a hard time falling in love with another girls name. So far our top girls names are:
Miranda
Paige
Desirae
Kendra

TIA!

I LOVE that name! I personally would spell it Raina (also seen Rayna, Reyna, and Reina). But, we had a neighbor with a little girl who spelled it Raena, and that way grew on me too. It's such a pretty name. I would choose either Raena/Raina or Miranda from your list. Good luck!

I love the name Rayna or Raina - I've never seen it spelled Raena, but it's do-able

I like the Rayna spelling the best although I like Raina also

I think it'd be great for a sibling to Alyssa

HI Leah -

I like it spelled "Raina".

From your other list -
I like Miranda.

Miranda Paige is pretty - combing to names that you like.
Miranda Rae/Renee is also pretty.

It's very pretty...and also pretty close in sounding to Reina which means "queen" in Spanish.

I could get used to Raena. My immediate reaction was "no - not good" but I quickly changed my mind after saying it a couple times.

As for spelling, I'm not sure. Raena is unique I prettier looking, I think, than Raina. What about Rayna? I think I like that best.

Paige is a good middle name for all of the others. Of those I really like Miranda most.
