Do you like Rhea for a girl?

[babysoon1]

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

diaorrhea

when it's coming out your bum like a bullet from a gun....

Just bellowed with laughter at RunLyraRun's picture - it is extremely sweet, and if your DD is likely to be fluffy with big brown eyes and long skinny legs I think you should go for it. :o

I always thought it was pronounced "rayer" (as in Mens Rea - am I getting that right? Now I read it back it looks like I'm talking about chaps' arses). But "rear" as in "dire rear" [sic] makes sense.

In which case, the poor rhea lamb will suffer from "Rhea of the year" etc jokes forever. Sorry.

Haven't read rest but makes me think of an ostrich.

Riah is nicer.

don't like it

My brother had this lovely stunning girlfriend at University called Rhea...but everyone called her Gonorrhea.

Ostrich - How can it remind anyone of an one, because it is called a Rhea not an ostrich. You people need teaching properly.

Diarrhoea - The people that think this are childish and need to be more grown up.

Rear - Well if you people pronounced it clearly and properly it does not sound like that at all.

I love the name, I spell it Rhia.

Ria is nice

Like so many others here, my immediate thought was diarrhoea.

I think you're living in a very idealistic world and forgetting how cruel kids can be to others

I LOVE it!! I knew a girl called Rhea at uni, she was very beautiful, vivacious and always looked really cool.

It's on my shortlist if I ever have another girl.

It doesn't make me think of poo, but it does make me think of huge eyed rheas. But that's not a bad thing. I love rheas.

It could be good as a middle name, with Diana first, Di for short...

On second thoughts, maybe not.

There are plenty of other names.

Have we put you off yet?

If you like Rh. rhona is pretty?

I know a lovely Ria and have never, ever thought of diaorrhea when I talk to her!!
