I like Raina and Skye, as a nn for Skylar.

I like Reina as a name, the Spanish word for queen. It's pronounced the same way, "RAY-nuh."But rain with a random "-a" on the end does nothing for me, sorry. The attraction of a name for me is usually the associations they bring to mind. Reina makes me think of the Spanish court through history. Loads of interesting angles to the name. But "rain + a" gets me nowhere.Lavender is don't care for as a name. How about Lavinia? Maren is OK. Skye brings to mind the gorgeous Scottish isle of the same name. Love it. Calista is beautiful (literally), but I prefer the double "L" spelling because that's how it is in the original Greek script. Shine? That's a verb to me, not a name.Love Zola, by the way.

Thanks. L, Syke and Shine are boys and the rest are girls. Is Marene better?
