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

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 guess you've never heard of Mira Nair?

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?

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

You pronounce it like you would pronounce rain.

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

I know several Latina Reina's.

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.

Raina is gorgeous. Love it

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 fine. Not sure how pronounced but looks ok.
