It’s a lovely name but looks like this new film is going to be huge, could end up with an “Elsa” situation where everyone thinks you’ve named after the film..

I only know one and they spell it Raeya it's a beautiful name

Raya. Beautiful name and it looks the nicest written like that
I'm inclined to agree with you Smile

Reya is lovely

Raya... Or Raina 💕

@hulahoopqueen

Reya would take my vote, I think it's a lovely name! I reckon they will spend a decent portion of their life saying, "no, not Freya, REYA" though!
I had the same thoughts. Maybe Reina/Reyna would be work better?

@haggisandmarsbar

Reya rings a bell, isn't it one of the conjoined twins in the USA?

I think they're Reba and Lori. Used to be Dori and Lori, in the idiotic American of giving twins matching names, but Dori changed to Reba.

Rhea 😁

There's a new Disney Princess film coming out this year where the main character is called Raya.
If the film does well might mean more people know that spelling/the pronunciation?

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 27/02/2021 02:27

Reya is probably the clearest spelling to get the pronunciation you want.

Raya looks the nicest and is the most well known spelling of the name - but thanks to the popularity of Maya, you may get a few people pronouncing it as "Ry -ah".

Raeya just looks strange imo.

partyatthepalace · 27/02/2021 00:27

I’d spell it Raya because that is how the name is spelt in Israel, and I think in S Asia too. And the pronunciation is obvious.

@BeetyAxe

Reya. Raia looks like it should be pronounced Ray-ee-ah
Thanks. Raia looks to me like it should be pronounced Ry-a.
