Reina... how would you spell? And middle name?

General Name Discussion
1

I love the name “[name_f]Reina[/name_f]” as a sister name for [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] but am debating other spellings.

  1. Which version do you like the best?

[name_f]Reina[/name_f]
[name_f]Reyna[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]
[name_f]Rayna[/name_f]

  1. And which middle name combination? Other suggestions?

[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

I like the spelling [name_f]Reina[/name_f]. [name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] and [name_f]Reina[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] sound really nice.

I love the name [name_f]Raina[/name_f]! I prefer this spelling as I’d love to use the nn [name_u]Rain[/name_u]. I love the nature connection. I had [name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] in my signature for awhile, maybe you’d like that? I love almost all your combinations, especially
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
All the best!

I prefer [name_f]Raina[/name_f] because [name_f]Reina[/name_f] reads as “[name_f]Queen[/name_f]” to me (a remnant of my high school Spanish, I guess). A pretty meaning, but too literal for my taste. It also has very religious connotations that you may or may not want. But I like both “i” spellings better than [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] and [name_f]Reyna[/name_f].

[name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is my favorite from your list, though I like most of those combinations. [name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] looks beautiful, but I hear “rain or snow.”

[name_f]Raina[/name_f] is best for me visually. It feels more name-y to me than [name_f]Reina[/name_f] for some reason. [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] and [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] I am not too fond of either. It works great with [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] too! [name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is beautiful.

[name_f]Reyna[/name_f] is my favorite spelling. (Partially due to the fact that this is how [name_m]Rick[/name_m] [name_m]Riordan[/name_m] spells it and [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] in the Heroes of [name_m]Olympus[/name_m] series is just amazing.)

[name_f]Reyna[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] are my favorites from your list.

Another middle name that sounds nice and you might like is [name_f]Reyna[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u].

I think I would lean more towards [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] or [name_f]Raina[/name_f] because they’re least likely to be mispronounced.
Out of your MN options, I really like [name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_f]Raina[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. :slight_smile:
