I'd like this name more if it were Rae Lynn, two names, equally emphasized. Otherwise it starts to become "railin'." Raelyn against the Man.

I don't think it seems dated, exactly. The only Raelyn(n?) I've met is about 12 now, and it seemed to me to be trendy for her age, but I thought it was starting to get passe until I saw the popularity chart.

---

At least it's not Braelyn.

I don't like Juniper. It seems to be trying so hard to be perky. It's like a doggie name.

There's a litter of largish-breed puppies that were born in my imagination just now. They were each adopted by city people who liked how the breed looked but didn't understand the need to train or exercise them properly, and when they are grown, they'll wear a pinch collar, jump up on people, bark a lot, and attack other dogs.
Their names are:
Riley, Juniper, Piper, Poppy, Kinsley, Maverick, Finn, and Tucker.
