A name popped in my mind last night for no reason

Raley Melissa (RAY-lee)

WDYT?

It's pretty, but there is a chain of grocery stores around here (Nor Cal) called Raley's, so I automatically have that association.

ohh then that's why I'd never seen Raley used as a name!! XD

Haha, my name is Melissa Rae. So I love it by default :-p

Actually, Raley isn't really my style, but it's cute. I keep wanting to pronounce it Rah-ley, though.

I like it visually as Raley, although I agree that the one you suggest would probably be the correct pronounciation, phonetically speaking.

I've seen Haley (Hayley), but come to think of it not Baley (Bailey)

The Raley's store around here is pronounced the same way you're pronouncing it.

For it to be Rah-lay, I'd want it spelled Raleigh, like in North Carolina.

i like the pronounciation but not the spelling. then again, i can't find a spelling that i like. Raylee? Rahlee? Rayelee? Raely? Raelee? Rahley? ugh.
