I think it's a terrible name for a baby. My first thought is the Egyptian god and that's a little too much pressure to put on a baby. Besides, it looks and sounds like a nickname. I prefer whole names as first names, rather than giving the baby a nickname for his first name.
i tie it too closely to egyptian mythology to think of it on a person. i also associate it with the goa'uld (major bad guy alien) in stargate, so it has definite negative connotation.
also, i think of this song, lol (i can't find a good movie-version video, so it's just audio. booo.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv3h57S3Rhw&feature=related

That was my first thought, and I don't even like Lady Gaga.
I like short names, but Ra is a little too short for my taste. I also don't like the way it sounds.

Date: 2011-02-06 10:21 am (UTC)Ra ... it sounds ok until I think of the sound effect... "rraaaaar!" like a lion.
I also immediately think of the Egyptian sun god

Date: 2011-02-08 01:08 am (UTC)I seriously doubt that this name would even be cool in Egypt. I wouldn't use it.
