We've been exploring different name endings based on specific letters lately. We saw -ina names for girls, and -ian names for boys. Last week we looked at boy names ending with -us. Today we will try our best to narrow it down for the letters "-ra". Like the other series, I limited myself to only choosing one name per letter. Here are my 26 picks from A-Z. What would you pick?
I also listed the ranks of those within the Top 1000, so as you can see, most of these names are rare picks!
Audra
Barbara (#908)
Cora (#83)
Deidra
Electra
Flora
Ginevra
Honora
Indira
Jara
Keira (#331)
Lysandra
Mara (#670)

The majority of names that end with -us may bring to mind Ancient Latin rulers. While many of these will remain rare, there are others gaining popularity. I put the ranking of those within the Top 1000 in parenthesis. Which do you like?
I used Maximus for my son, and would consider Augustus, Cyrus, Erasmus, Julius, Thaddeus and Xanthus! What about you?
Augustus (#423)
Belarius
Cyrus (#427)
Darius (#500)
Erasmus
Fergus
Gaius
Honorius
Ignatius
Julius (#336)
Klaus
Linus
Maximus (#200)
Nicodemus
Octavius
Pius
Rufus
Severus
Thaddeus (#666)
Urbanus
