I named my 10 year old Rayna because in Hebrew it means, "song of the Lord" and I am a singer. The'spanish version Reina means "queen". I think her name is very unique and very uncommon. It coins her personality!She loves her name as well and often look for anything that has her name on it.

I called my daughter Rayna because my husband was Ray and my name was Ann so this includes both our names for our beautiful daughter. It is a slight variation of Reina which is from the name Regina 'Queen'.

I named my daughter Rayne back in 2006. I am a big Star Trek fan and on the orignal show there was a caracter name Rayna she was only on one show but I fell in love with the name.

Another Rayna, here. Named so due to my mother's middle name being 'Renee' and my father's being 'Ray' ( seems a lot of ours have supposedly "made up" / "combined", huh❤️ ). It was supposed to be spelt 'Reyn❤️' but ended up as so due to my mother. I didn't particularly like my name growing up ( being seventeen currently, so born in '98 ) but have since grown used to it, still not really IN LOVE with it, but It'suits me, I s'pose. i've heard that it is Spanish in decent, as well as Bulgarian, and somewhere said Celtic, I think❤️ So It'seems fairly wide in origin, so I would think it wouldn't be completely foreign in a lot of places, so a bonus there. I don't think anyone has ever felt the need for a nickname, unfortunately. I am rather partial to Rayn, however.

My name is Rayna and I was born Jan 1948.As a child I hated my name because I was the only person that I had ever known with it.Children don't like to be too different do they.But as I grew older I guess I grew into it because now I love it.

My name is Rayna and im 16. its a very inter'sting name to live with. Personally, its kind of annoying when people spell or pronounce it wrong, but thats what happens with a sort of exotic name. I think the name is okay, but not on me. Really think about this name before using it because its very exotic if youre into that, but it also depends how you spell it too.

I named my daughter "Rayna", explicitly because my wife and I are metal music fans. We named her after our favorite band's bass player ;) When we found out we were pregnant we both I'mediately said "Rayna" (She wanted to spell it Raina, however...)

I'm another Rayna. My dads name is Ray, so my parents wanted to add that in there. They actually thought they made it up. i've met just a few other Rayna's. I love the'spelling 'Raina'. When I was young I didn't like my name. I wanted a 'normal' name, like Nicole or Amy or Stacey. But now I love it. I get a lot of compliments on how pretty it is and love It's uniqueness.

My name is Rayna. I have never met someone with the'same spelling. It'sounds like "Ray-na" People often spell it wrong, but I attribute that to the rise of Spanish around the region I live in. It'sounds just like the'spanish "reina" which means queen, and often people want to spell it that way.

Hi! My name is Rayna. My father named me Rayna, because of my grandpa's 1st name "Raymond", and also my other grandpa's middle name was Raymond. I didn't like the name at first, because it didn't mean anything 2 me... But i realize that it came from someone special and it has a special meaning in spanish, "Queen!" I have only heard once of someone in my town speaking that they have a daughter named Rayna, but it wasn't spelled the'same. And she no longer lives in my town, so I'm the only Rayna here, and It's great, because now i know for sure if people are refering to me and not another Rayna. People use to often pronounce and spell it wrong, but since im the only one here (with one way to spell it) and It's sounds just how it looks, i think It's getting a lil' easier for them. I love my name because It's unique and that's what im all about...!

I'm another Rayna. i've been curious about the reason that I was named Rayna and found that it meant Song of God, and my family is full of devoted Christians. Many people i've met have pronounced it "Ray-anna" or "Ranya" (I have no idea how), but I still like my name.

I named my first daughter Rayna Elizabeth in 2017. Stole the name from a friends child. Love it! There is only one other Rayna I know of and she was named after my daughter. I originally wanted to spell it Raina, but my husband wanted Rayna. Such a great name that I had trouble picking a named for our other daughter. Love that its unique but not wierd

It's pretty and feminine and at the'same time, very practical; easy to pronounce and spell. Names that are more than two syllables almost always shorten'to various nicknames, so the two syllable names seem to work best.

My name is Rayna and when i go to school many teache's pronounce my name wrong, and don't now how to spell it. I used to hate it but now I like when'they can't pronounce it or spell it because it makes me feel like my name is unique and I have only met one girl with the'same name ( and Spelling) as mine. I LOVE my name because I like when in class I don't have to always put my last name cause there is only 1 Rayna. And you pronounce it "Ray-Nah". It is a spanish name that means "queen".

My Daughter's name is Rayna Rayna was born in 1997 and is 20 now and most people tell her her name is beautiful and some know it means Queen which is surprising to me - she is my Queen- I knew a girl named Raina when I was a girl and I knew that name was going to be my daughters name ~ Roxanna

I have a neice named Rayna. She is just about to turn four this year. I wanted her to know about her name- the identity she would be carrying along, the rest of her life which when selected by parents or elders, the person, the'selves have no choice left but to accept it. But when you know the reason as to why you were named so, its meaning changes altogether and you start to love your tag. Hope she grows up to love it. Place: India

I'm another Rayna. i've gotten a lot of weird expieriences from my name, such as people asking if it is made up, or telling them what it means. I do think it is a very pretty name, but I live in an area where you have like 8 girls named Alexis in a class of 30 people, so I'm always the odd one out. The name fits my personality, though. I'm the queen, and my name even says so!

My name is unique like me!
