Which girls name out of these 2?

[Jnl90]

Hi everyone,

We have narrowed down our names to 2! They are:

-Marcie
-Riva (pronounced Reeva) but not keen on that spelling

Which is your favourite? If you dont like them thats fine but no need to reply if you like neither, just want to see what people prefer out of these 2.

Thanks :)

Marcie

Riva.

I prefer the Reeva spelling but I don't think that's useable, sadly.

Riva, and I would assume it was pronounced as Reeva .👍🏻

Riva

I was initially going to say I prefer Riva but the more I think about it the more I think I like the sound of Marcie better!

The only thing for me is there's something about the spelling of marcie that I'm not keen on but i dont know why!

I prefer Riva as long as you don't live somewhere people add an r when the word ends in a.
Marcie is also a good name so I can understand the dilemma.
Best wishes for your pregnancy.

I remember the Lada Riva as a fairly awful utilitarian car, so Marcie. Or Marcia

I would choose Riva. I have met a Riva & a Reeva both said so they rhyme with Diva. I think it’s a nice name.

Riva is beautiful, Marcie just doesnt habeas nice a sound to it.

I like both equally but agree with the mispronunciagion problems, just think about whichever one goes better with last names

Riva is lovely

Absolutely love Marcie - but it is the name of one of my best friends who is the loveliest person I know so has lots of positive associations for me.
She is Marcia but everyone calls her Marcie x

Marcie.

I prefer Marcia shortened time Marcie. I don't like ie ending names for grown women. They feel a bit too little girl like.

That said, no need to decide now. Wait until she is here and look at her. She might suit one more than the other.

I prefer Riva but agree with others that it may get mispronounced. I also think Reeva looks prettier but that's just my opinion, you obviously don't agree :)

I like Riva but would go with the Reeva spelling.

Thanks all! I see Riva has now become the more popular choice today. Theres about 6 votes in it.

Riva

Any more thoughts?

Riva.
Marcie sounds a bit wet tbh. Riva sounds stronger to me, a bit different without being difficult or weird.

I love both (sorry not helpful) - I actually quite like Riva Marcie.

Loads of people have to correct people on their name pronunciation, my daughter is Lyra and I get Leera a lot.

Riva, and I like the spelling.

Riva!

I think Riva will get mispronounced as River, which will be bloody annoying. So I’m going for Marcie.

Riva is lovely
