[Opinions] Raelynn vs. Everleigh
Which would you choose for a daughter if you absolutely had to? What would you use as a middle name?Please keep it to these two names. Thanks. :) **After supposedly dying on January 30, 2007 after eating tainted pancakes, she returned several times as an angel and was revealed to be alive on May 17, 2011. )**

I like -Lyn names more more than -let names. They sound fresher and more delicate. I always liked Raelynn, just spelled a different way. I like liked Everleigh because of the Ever part. It sounds like an adverb. I also don't like Leigh spelt that way. Its very long and unnecessary.I'm not put off by a name just because it has "no history". Names don't have history until theymare used. People can choose Raelynn if they want. I love the nicknames Rae, Lyn and Linny.Don't like the nicknames Ever, Eve, or Lee for Everleigh. I'd call her EV, Evvie or Evie instead.

Raelynn Alexandra, Raelynn Monroe, Raelynn Natasha, Raelynn Joanne, Raelynn Sophia
It doesn't flow that well with middle names, unfortunately. I guess Everleigh would be better for middle names.Everleigh May, Everleigh Summer, Everleigh Jewel, Everleigh Sky...they all sound corny except for Everleigh May. Thats why I'd choose Raelyn.

I honestly despise both, but if I had to choose, I would say Everleigh. It has an actual origin of sorts and is slightly less likely to be misspelled (only slightly). For a middle name, I guess Everleigh Faith or Everleigh Hope sounds nice, or at least decent?

I would choose Everleigh, something about that name really pleases me. It's so OTT romance. Although I also love Raelynn's brassy volume.Everleigh Lori is what I would choose.

Both names are lovely, but Everleigh has my vote (I prefer this spelling than any others), I would choose Everleigh James

Everleigh, although the Everly spelling looks better. Raelynn is too much like railing / railin’

I think…. Everleigh. I don’t like either, but I could happily call her Evie as a nickname. Rae as a nickname doesn’t appeal, because it’s all male. I have known several “Ray” men, and it’s just… ick. Everleigh Grace
Everleigh Vivienne

I choose......Raelynn.I think it sounds better than Everleigh, though I don't hate Everleigh. I like Rae, and the name is bright and sunshine-y. I like that.I name her...Raelynn Elizabeth. Let's stay classic for the middle name.

I would go Raelynn. Even though Raelynn has more potential for misspellings, every time I look at Everleigh I read it Ever-LAY. Personally, I'd rather have my name spelled incorrectly than pronounced incorrectly. As for a middle name, I think Raelynn Marine, or Raelynn Celina sound cute.

Everleigh. Middle name Grace. I’d probably call her Evie. I don’t like Raelynn at all.

Everleigh. I don’t like Raelynn at all. Everleigh is sweet, you could shorten it to Eve or Ever

Raelynn, because at least it doesn't have -leigh. I hate -leigh so much. If I had the powers of the infinity gauntlet i would remove it from the world with a snap.

Everleigh, because it has Eve and Ever in it.
And I love Eve and Everild, and many other E- names.
Everleigh Ginevra or Everleigh Sybil.Now I think, I sound like a crazy Harry Potter fan... It wasn't intentional, I swear!

Raelynn sounds like railing, so I'd go for Everleigh. Maybe Everleigh Maeve.

Everleigh, even though I’d much prefer the Everly spelling. Everly reminds me of the group The Everly Brothers and I’ve never minded the sound of the name tbh. I like Everly Jemimah, Everly Hope, Everly Ada, Everly Ruth, Everly Tabitha, Everly Pearl, Everly Shay, Everly Jane, Everly Joy, Everly Zara, Everly Matilda, Everly Mae, Everly Mabel, Everly Hazel, Everly Tess and Everly Amara.I have an aunty in her 60’s named Raelyn. I believe my gran saw the name on a florists sign and it also went along with naming her partly for her younger sister, who was named Roselyn. My aunty doesn’t go by Raelyn though, she goes by Ras and I don’t know where that nn came from!

I don't really like either of them, but I would go with Everleigh if I had to. I think Everleigh Alice or Everleigh Diana (or Diane) sounds good.

Oy I'd pick Everleigh. Sure it makes me want to hurl but at least it isn't too random sounds smushed together and called a name. Everly is at least a real last name.

I would pick Raelynn. I like the emphasis on the second syllable, and the nickname Rae.Maybe Raelynn Maria or Raelynn Katherine Anna

Everleigh. Although it reminds me of the *coughs* exploited child, I never thought it was THAT much of a bad name to begin with. Raelynn on the other hand is pretty darn bad.I would use Everleigh Rose.Everleigh Jane
Everleigh Octavia
Everleigh Reine
Everleigh Ash
Everleigh Bea
Everleigh Brooke
Everleigh Kate
Everleigh Hope
