Do you prefer [name_f]Rain[/name_f] or [name_f]Raine[/name_f] for a girl and what about the combo [name_f]Rain[/name_f] /Raine [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] ?
Thanks 
I prefer [name_f]Raine[/name_f], just because I find [name_f]Rain[/name_f] a little bit boring, but from a purely practical standpoint, [name_f]Rain[/name_f] is the option that’s less likely to cause confusion.
I think Rain/Raine [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is lovely, it combines a more whimsy, nature first, with a reliable, well known middle to fall back on. [name_m]The[/name_m] flow is really great too, overall, wonderful combo.
I like [name_f]Rain[/name_f] - why overcomplicate a pretty nature name! [name_f]Rain[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is really nice. I like word names with a classic middle, and these two together have a friendly feel with great flow.

I prefer [name_f]Rain[/name_f] (or Rainer). I hear [name_f]Raine[/name_f] more harshly (with a more intense AINE sound like [name_m]Shane[/name_m]) and I agree it may make some people pause for a second about whether the E is an Eh or Y sound or silent. If you want an E ending, I might even go [name_f]Rayne[/name_f] (but I still prefer Rain).
I think [name_f]Rain[/name_f] goes really well with a long, conventional middle such as [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f].

I’m a huge fan of [name_f]Rain[/name_f]. I love how soft and nature-rich it is. I think it’s also the most straightforward spelling - while [name_f]Raine[/name_f] is also very pretty, I don’t think it would be my first guess.

[name_f]Rain[/name_f].
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is nms, but a perfectly fine name.
I know a [name_f]Ranie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rain[/name_f] because if I had only heard the name it wouldn’t occur to me to spell it with an e.
I prefer [name_f]Rain[/name_f] too. [name_f]Rainey[/name_f] is adorable as a nn too!
I prefer [name_f]Raine[/name_f].
[name_f]Raine[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is ok. Both names are honestly not my style
Definitely [name_f]Rain[/name_f]! I always prefer when word names are spelled the same way as the word. It just seems more correct to me. [name_m]Not[/name_m] a fan of [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_m]Forrest[/name_m], etc. for this reason.
To me, [name_f]Rain[/name_f] feels more like the weather word, whereas [name_f]Raine[/name_f] reads more clearly as a name while still keeping the same soft, nature-inspired feel. It gives me a slightly more polished and feminine impression. I also knew a girl named [name_f]Raine[/name_f] in school, so that spelling feels very wearable and established to me.
As for the combo, [name_f]Raine[/name_f] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] is lovely. I like the contrast between the airy, modern feel of [name_f]Raine[/name_f] and the strong, classic elegance of [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]. It feels balanced and substantial without being stuffy.
