3 different spellings.. which should i go with?

[jenniferever]

im adopting a male basenji tomorrow, by the name of rawley. i dont like the spelling, so i was thinking..

rawley (hmph)
raleigh
rahli

what do you think? which should i go with? what different kinds of spellings could i use?

[WBL]

I'd go with the standard Raleigh but Rahli is neat too and a little different.

[YodelDogs]

I like all 3 but I'm something of a traditionalist so I lean towards Raleigh.

[jenniferever]

i was leaning towards raleigh as well. thanks everyone!

[AndrewnShango]

I vote Rahli

he's a basenji, he has to be unique! Where are you adopting him from?

[MacPack]

If you go with the unusual spelling, you will be forever correcting the spelling with every vet or anyone else who might have need to write down his name. I like simple easy names, I probably would go with Rally!

Congratulations! Welcome to Raleigh, or Rahli, or…whatever you decide to name him (new life, new name)

[bellabasenji]

I like them all! Rahli looks kinda neat, though…:D

[Vanessa]

I like Rahli.
Basenjis are unique…I think the names should be too But either way...I love the name!

Not to add to the mix (okay I am) but how about rahlee?

LOL. I would certainly hope so!

[bellabasenji]

Oooops! I feel goofy now… :p

[wizard]

Oh well - we had fun rehashing it all

[MacPack]

He's probably named "Dammitt" like most basenjis.

[bellabasenji]

Good one!!! LOL
Too, too funny…

That reminds me of an episode of "JAG", when the Admiral gets a new German Shephard and decides to name it Dammit.

I also vote for Rahli, it sound like name of Egyptian farao :D.

[AJs Human]

I like Rahli too…looks more exotic. Raleigh brings to mind a brand of cigarettes.

[Rita Jean]

I love it look at the date.

No idea how this got kicked to the top. But it was fun anyway.
