Raymond


A soft, cuddly yet strong name with a good nickname, Ray. Raymond isn't much used anymore, but that's good so he won't have five others in his first-grade class. A very classic name.

Raymond is the English form of Raginmund, a Germanic name composed of the elements ragin "advice" and mund which originally meant "hand," and later came to mean "protector". This name came to England with the Normans in the form Reimund or Raimund.
