I love the name Ria I like short simple names for a girl. Alanna is also my favourite name, King will be the surname. I'm trying to think of more middle names that fit.

Alanna King is lovely.

Ria is nice name. it just flows badly with King.

Also, though you rarely say the whole name out loud, the two 'a's either overlap with each other or demand a pause, Ria Alanna does not flow.

Do you like Lana? Lana King sounds good. Lana Ria King is good, as is La King (larking).

I see the “she will be bullied” tribe are out in for d again.

It’s crazy how many parents on here don’t teach their children not to be horrible little bullies like them can’t be arsed to set an example judging by the reactions.

If your child came across a traditionally “foreign” name these kind of comments would be classed as bullying, potentially racist or a hate crime. Do better.

To me it's not that Ria King would sound like 'reeking', it wouldn't, more like Riak-Ing, it's that the words flow into each other so that they're hard to understand.
