I know this is not AIBU but posting for traffic.

Have a son already called Leon, I love Rio can't shorten it but not sure if it's a girls name?
Mumsnetter thoughts?

I think of the film...

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 07/03/2020 11:45

It’s not a nice name....

MrsJoshNavidi · 07/03/2020 11:45

Don't be so sure about it not being shortened. I foresee "Ree"being a nickname.

DjMomo · 07/03/2020 11:46

I like the name. Think Rio Ferdinand.

SpectureLectura · 07/03/2020 11:47

First thoughts are Rio de Janeiro and Rio Ferdinand

hidinginthenightgarden · 07/03/2020 11:49

I think its fine for a girls name.

Sparklingbrook · 07/03/2020 11:50

One of my favourite albums.

The drink is lovely. But the name is awful, my daughter has 2 in her class one is spelt Reeoh.

I think of the Duran Duran song and like it. I haven’t seen any bad Rio films.

You could spell it Rhea? Personally I think she’d then get nicknames diarrhoea. Sigh. Kids can be cruel.

Not a fan sorry @stopandListen

MissFlite · 07/03/2020 12:01

I know a male Rio, named after the footballer. I don't mind it.

ShinyMe · 07/03/2020 12:02

But but... you can't have Leo and Rio!

user1493494961 · 07/03/2020 12:09

Not a nice name.

BobbyBlueCat · 07/03/2020 12:31

It's a horrible name.

MarieQueenofScots · 07/03/2020 12:33

Ria is a prettier name and more obviously feminine if that concerns you.

IVflytrap · 07/03/2020 12:51

I actually quite like Rio, but I think it's much too similar to Leon.

Pieceofpurplesky · 07/03/2020 12:58

It's a great name. I teach a Rio who is a pretty awesome boy though so may be biased

maryberryslayers · 07/03/2020 13:14

Not for a girl. What about Remi?
