I thought it seemed pretty and not too popular or unusual?

I love it and have a friend called Rhea. However, she says that her life was made a misery at school as she was called Diarrhoea

Yep, too pooey.

No. No, I don't like it at all.

Sorry.

Is it too late to say I like it? I don't have an English accent though.

I like Rita too.

It sounds exactly like "rear" in most English accents. Rear end was my first thought. Sorry.

My 1st thought was Gonorrhoea. Sorry.

Mum72 · 17/09/2010 20:43

Not keen myself. I had a neighbour who named thier DD Rhea and my very first thoughts were exactly as geordieminx has described.

Sorry.

I went to school with a Rhea

I have to admit it does make me think of diarrhoea though

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 17/09/2010 20:41

Makes me think of a large ostrich like bird.

geordieminx · 17/09/2010 20:40

Sorry but I would think diohorrea..
