Ray, still and forever, is one of the all-time hippest names, with its jazzy Ray Charles biopic overtones. It makes a cool middle name (as Rae does for girls), but works perfectly fine as a first.

The list of noteworthy Rays who have brought glory to their nickname name goes on forever--Bradbury, Romano, Milland (born Alfred), Liotta, and Goulding, to name just a few.

Most female Rays used to spell their names Rae, but now the Ray Charles, ray-of-sunshine way is cool for both genders.
