User Comments about the name Raleigh
Comment left May 30, 2009: "I love my name! I think it's considered a boy's name, but I am a girl. I pronounce it RAW-LEE, and it get so annoying because hardly anyone ever pronounces it correctly. They either say Riley (where are they getting that "I" from?!), RAY-LEE, and occasionally Rally." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 03, 2009: "i have a three and a half yr old daughter and her name is Raeleigh just because my middle name is Ray and my wifes is leigh we have never met any one with the same name and her its pronounced Ray leigh" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 07, 2009: "I am a boy named Raleigh. Very few people pronounce or spell it right. I pronounce it like the capital of North Carolina which is the correct pronunciation for a boy. I don't really see this as a girl's name but to each their own." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 05, 2008: "My daughter's name is Raleigh (pronounced rally in her case). It is quite unique. I find it funny that her 2nd cousin's name is Riley though. Won't that make family reunions confusing (Raleigh was first btw hehe)" (Report as inappropriate)
