Baby will hold your heart in their teeny tiny hands if they don’t already, but with a name like Raylen, you'll know it's safe. This German boy’s name possibly comes from Raylene, meaning “advice,” “counsel,” or “protection.” So if you envision baby being kind and caring, it'll be spot on. It’s an uncommon variant of Ray, so baby Raylen probably won't bump into too many kids on the playground with the same name. Raylen has many variations that hold a similarly sweet association, too.
