Raine...Rayne is trying way too hard. I'd like just plain Rain best. More natural.

RayneRaine looks weird to me for some reason, like you should pronounce it ryne or something. Not sure why.

DittoI've only known one Raine (graduated with her in high school) and she spelled it like this ;o) It doesn't look as trendy as Rayne.

Raine feels more nateral and less like a person's trying to be trendee.

RaineI prefer Rayna or Reina to either, though.

I like Raine because or a character called Moiraine. I also think Raine is more feminine and "elegant". But I know a really cute first-grader named Rayne...

Neither. I have this thing about word names. If you are going to use them, spell them as you would find in the dictionary.

I have the same thing about Lily and Scarlet, but for some reason I don't mind Raine.

Thing is the name itself is usually not referring to water falling from the sky, so that's a moot point.

Good point, though

I think Rain is the best spelling but Raine beats out Rayne by far. Rayne just looks like a bad typo in my opinion.

Depends on the meaning you're looking for.

Rain.It's just stupid to mispell a word name. You wouldn't use Rowse or Reevar.

I'd love to know the etymology of the name "Rayne" or "Raighn" then -_-'

Don't know about Rayne except that it's prob'ly just a cr8tyv sp. of Raine, which is a nn or shortened version of Lorraine. Can click on it and check. Raighn I have not encountered.. and doubt I'd want to.
