ReplyDeleteRachel and Rebecca are favorite R names
betty
Raymond, Rachel, Relena (from Gundam Wing anime).
ReplyDeleteI like Regina (particularly with the hard G pronunciation used in Europe), Rivka, Rukmini, Rita, Riona, Rowena, Raina, Roland, and Russell.

Loads of R names I like Ruchira, Rachna, Rohini, Ravina, Roshni, all female names. Long names like Rituparno (m) and Rituparnaa (f) are also beautiful but are less suitable as fictional characters unless of course the readership is restricted to the same ethnic group.
ReplyDeleteRaelene and Radomira both sound lovely. Rebecca is a great one too.
Some interesting names here today, none of which I've ever heard.
ReplyDeleteMy dad's name was Russell and my brother was Russell Jr.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest, LOL, they're all a bit weird. That's only because I'm not sure how to pronounce any of them. For some reason I like Randy and Ruby. At least, today they're the only names that come to mind.
