Opinion on this Indian name?

Raina is fine. Not sure how pronounced but looks ok.

Raina sounds middle eastern, in fact the Rainas I know are Arabs/Muslims.

Love Rania though. And if we're talking regal east Asian names, Noor is beautiful too.

Raina is gorgeous. Love it

I know 3 Indian girls and women named Raina, on 11, one 30, and another grown up Raina (don't know her age)--love it. It's a great name, easy to say, I haven't seen any of these three Rainas have problems with mispronouncing.

It's definitely an Indian name. It's Eastern European as well.

I know several Latina Reina's.

Beautiful name. We had considered it for our daughter (East European descent)

I like the name a lot. I'm not sure if you would say it "Ra-yina" or "Rain-a".

You pronounce it like you would pronounce rain.

Those of you who says it sounds Middle Eastern. As you sure you are not thinking of Rania as in the Queen of Jordan.

It's already been established it is a somewhat universal name. I know an Indian girl with it, 2 Latinas (one spelled Reina), and a white girl. It's not very common and it's beautiful. Who cares?

i guess you've never heard of Mira Nair?

I love this name for a girl too-- but we know too many people with this as a last name. My half Indian niece is Anya. Love both names - good luck!

I like the name. FWIW Rayna is the main character on the show Nashville, played by Connie Britton.
