I know a lovely, lovely freind called Rae. Great name, I think.

Thanks.
I really like Rae. Its for a middle name though, so maybe too similar to the current Mae/May trend? Actually, I don't think I mind.
Next question then... Any strong opinions on alliterative first and middle names? Say Rebecca Rae Surname?

our DD2 has Rae as a middle name after MIL and we love it

alliteration doesn't bother me in names unless you make a theme of it through the family!!

Did many of you not know what syllable means and therefore ignore it?

There is an American talk show person called Rachel Rae but I think might be her surname...
