What do you think of the name Rea Bennett?

[AmandaBennett]

I love Rea for the first name Bennett is the Surname I need some middle names. Does Rea Bennett flow well, what are your thoughts?

I went to school with a Rea Bennett, lovely girl so lovely memories for me.

I prefer Ria.

I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce Rea. My first instinct is to say it Ree like pea, tea, sea etc but I'm assuming it's actually pronounced Ree-ah

It flows fine. I’m not keen on the name as it reminds me of not so nice bodily things...urea, you can guess the other one - or Rear. But Rhea / Rea is a well known name so while not super common these associations obviously don’t bother a lot of people.

It flows fine but, like a PP, I also prefer Ria

Girl at school called Ria was nick named Di 😬

So you’re thinking Rea for a girl or Dylan Andrew for a boy?

How do you pronounce it, is it Ray or Ree?

It flows well.

My first thoughts too I'm afraid. How about Maria or Rhian?

It flows well.

I assumed Ree-ah (rhymes with Leah)

I've seen it spelt Rhea too

Yes, Rea is my choice of name for my daughter, Dylan for my son.

My daughter name rhymes with Rhea and her surname is Bennett. Sounds good to me!

How about Reeva?

Are you pronouncing it as Ria? It looks a bit like a misspelling of Rae (Ray) to me, so I'm not sure. Welsh Nia is lovely and would work well with Dylan as a sibset.

I like it, but isn’t it Rhea? The Greek goddess. Rea looks odd. Like tea and pea.

I'd spell it Ria but at first I read Rae Bennett and that sounds lovely

Rea is a perfectly normal spelling of the name. I know a woman with the same spelling. It's pronounced Ree-ah

my first thought would be that it is pronounced to rhyme with Pea.
I know a Bea and Lea both of whom rhyme with Pea.
If it is to be pronounced ree-a then I'd spell Ria.

To be completely honest I don't like it.

Mainly because Rhea are a type of bird like ostriches and it makes me think of them.
