About Rain
Mostly feminine, though "Office" star Rainn Wilson gives it a slight masculine twist. You might also use this as a short form of Raines.
Rain for girls#1239 US
Among a small shower of rain-related names, this pure version can have a cool, refreshing image.
Richard Pryor named his now-grown daughter Rain, and Rain is also one of the nature-named Phoenix family siblings. More recently, 24 actress Marisol Nichols named her daughter Rain India.
Rain also makes a nice nature middle name--Brooke Burke called her daughter Heaven Rain.
If you want to embellish this simply spelling (and alter the meaning), you might also consider Raine, Raina, Rainn, Rayne, Reine or Reign, the middle name of Willow Smith. Or you could take the Holly Madison route all the way to Rainbow.
Pronounced RAYN.
As of October 2026, Rain ranked #1751 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1667 in 2024.
