[Opinions] Re: Lorraine
Do you live in Ireland? I only ask because my two cousins (who are sisters) both loved the name. One got to use it first, so the other had to settle for Lauren. It was a surprise to me that anyone even remembered the name Lorraine. And then to have two sisters vying for it? Perhaps it was a family name for them from the other side of the family. But I hope not. I hope Lorraine is popular somewhere in the world. It's an overlooked gem in my book, at least here in the U.S. It's not dated to me because it's a place name and those are in vogue now.I've suggested Lorraine as a formal name for Rain / Raine, since that name has become popular here. But I never seem to get any positive responses. :-(

What a great idea! I am definitely adding this to my list now (with Raine as a NN)! I hope my DH like it. I am really excited.

I sit corrected. Someone does like Lorraine as a formal name for Rain / Raine. Happy day! :-)

I read in a name book to use Rain as a nickname for Lorraine. I think it's a great idea. But then I like Lorraine MUCH better than Rain.
