原文: I was named Raleigh 21 years ago, and I pronounce it Rah-lee. My name has always stood out as different and often mispronounced (Riley, Rolly, Raylee, Rah-lay) but I think it has been a a perfect fit for my quiet and gentle personality. I also think it is a hard name to forget once you learn the correct pronunciation. I'm a male, but appreciate the unisex nature of the name and have enjoyed reading the comments on this site. I've never owned a Raleigh bike, or been to Raleigh, NC, but I plan on riding one there before my time is up on this earth.
原文: I was named Raleigh 79 Years ago as the fourth son of five boys I pronounce my name as RAH-LEE, but I will say most people get it wrong. Often in London Riley, which I do not like at allI am very proud of my first name and have always stood out in the crowd.

翻译文: Raleigh Becket是2013年科幻动作片“Pacific Rim”的主角之一。
原文: Raleigh Becket was one of the main characters in Pacific Rim, a 2013 sci-fi action movie.
原文: I really like this name! It makes me think of a polite and handsome man. I wish I could find more guys with this name, I don't even know any. I didn't know you could use this name for girls either.
原文: It originated as a SURNAME (Walter Raleigh) and then became a PLACE NAME (Raleigh, NC). To say it is a "historical masculine name" is flat out wrong - it is a historical surname, which was found on BOTH genders. I don't know why all the names that originate out as surnames default to being "masculine names." I can understand some surnames, like Elliot, which have been so widely used as a boy first name that they do eventually evolve as "boy names," but Raleigh usage on both boys and girls has remained relatively obscure. It is a surname with a gender neutral meaning, so the origin is appropriate for usage on either a boy OR a girl. It is actually now used on more girls than boys now (check the SSA statistics).
原文: I love this name, and the fact that I just learned from this website that it apparently means "roe deer clearing" just makes me love it more, because a deer is my favorite animal. It's uncommon, fantastic, and unique, and aside from those qualities, I just love the sound of it. Fantastical choice!
原文: Oh my god people, it's a BOY name! You can't just make whatever historical masculine name you want into a trendy girl's name! Anyways, I always thought it was pronounced "rall-lee". I don't really like this as a name, but as a girl's name is just too much.

翻译文: 我喜欢这个名字。我喜欢在一个女孩,发音为RAH-lee。
原文: I love this name. I prefer it on a girl, pronounced RAH-lee.
原文: I adore the name Raleigh. Although many people do mispronounce it! It is pronounced "rah-lee" and not "ray-lee". It is said just like the city Raleigh (the capital of North Carolina).
原文: I know a Raleigh (pronounced like "Rolly") who is male, in his 60's or early 70's . And I'm not sure if I know any girls named Raleigh (pronounced the same or as "Ray-lee") but I've heard of it as a girl's name too.My opinion:(Note, I'm a writer, aka a character-namer, not a baby-namer. :D)As a male name I think it suggests someone mature, wise, perhaps wealthy, conservative, interested in business.As a female name, I would say young (child or teen), interested in dance or something similar, unique but not strange (ie, not the same as all the Brittneys, Ashleys, etc, but not nerdy or "odd"), likely cute, blonde, nice, liked by adults.

翻译文: 听起来绝对雌雄同体。我更喜欢男性。看起来像一个聪明的家伙的名字有良好的处置。
原文: Sounds absolutely androgynous. I prefer it for a male. Seems like the name of an intelligent guy with a good disposition.
原文: My name is Natalie and I am a redhead. Raleigh seemed perfect for a girl name for any daughter of mine. It has the same amount of letters, both will be said with Lee at the end, and the name means in old English “red meadow”. Perfect for a (fingers crossed) red headed child.
