I’ve always loved this name because I thought it was pronounced [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-lee. Not like [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f]'s capital Rah-lee…? How do you pronounce it? And what are some good variations for [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u] to sound like [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-lee?
I honestly think any of your alternative spellings make your preferred pronunciation clear, but I went for Raeley as it’s the most aesthetically pleasing to me.
Raleigh would definitely be RAH-lee. I immediately think of NC’s capital.
I think all of the alternate spellings work. I chose [name_f]Raeleigh[/name_f] because I assumed you liked the look of [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u], but wanted a spelling that made it clear it was [name_u]Ray[/name_u]-lee. [name_f]My[/name_f] second choice would have been [name_f]Raylee[/name_f] because it reminds me of [name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] and makes it seem more name-like.
