Rhea

[kaylanelson]

I love love love names that start with 'R' recently just come across rhea and love it ! (Ree-ah) what do you think?

Love names like
Rorie
Raeya

Sorry but I just hear gonnoreah and diarreah ..

I know one. She is one of DS's close friends. She was teased throughout her school years about diarrhoea, I just couldn't use it

It's also a bird.

I think diarrhoea as well. Please spell it Ria or Riya. Much nicer.

They aren’t the prettiest of birds

And urea. It sounds clinical.

I like it, but would spell it Ria, rather than like the bird.

Thanks for the honest feedback👌

sorry the ugly bird and gonarreah (spelt drunkenly wrong) were my first thoughts!

I like the sound of it, but I would also spell it Ria.

Immediately think of the bird.

Ria still has the same sound though and kids might tease with it the same way. Would you consider other names from Greek mythology?
Or even Rita?

Rio?

Also think of the sti

I think you're overthinking things about kids teasing.

I know a Ria and "gonorrhea" never even crossed my mind. Didn't even know it was a bird either.

Ria is lovely.
When I was little I wrote lots of stories where the protagonist (who definitely wasn't a prettier/more clever version of me) was called Ria. She was cool.

That is a dire name. Dire Rhea.

I like it! Character from the Greek myths, mother of Zeus, etc, that's all I thought of. And it's a moon of Saturn as well. Not even the bird occurred to me, and definitely not gonorrhoea or diarrhoea which aren't even spelled the same.

Oh god, please don’t use Rhea as the spelling. As others have said a lot of people know that as an ostrich/emu. You will be ridiculed and so will your poor kid. Imagine the school trips to the zoo....

I know of a Ria. Nowt wrong with that.

It's not the most attractive of birds to name your daughter after! How about a robin? they're much nicer!

Rhea like the bird is not good and Ria reminds me of the downtrodden character in butterflies

But the bird was named after the Greek goddess - well, technically she was a Titan. Rhea was the main character in Butterflies, the sitcom. It's quite a normal name, I thought, though not common these days. I know two!

Oh, OK, my wrong re Butterflies - she was Ria.

How about:

Renata
Rina (from Katarina)
Ria (short of Maria)
Rodanthe
Rodanthe
Renee

Rosanthe
