narrowed down to these two names we both love. Which would you pick?

Reva is unusual and beautiful! I like them both though.

Reva

SummaLuvin · 03/05/2022 21:26

Is Reva pronounced REE-VA or REV-A (rhyming with Never)? I’m not familiar with that name. I like the former, but not so fond of the sound of the latter.

I really like Aria, it’s very pretty. I couldn’t use it due to the association with Arya in Game of Thrones, as I was a big fan I would worry people would assume it was named for the character (for a similar reason I could never use Hermione). But this definitely won’t be an issue for everyone.

Reva at least has some personality, aria gets lost in a sea of a million similar names

OverByYer · 03/05/2022 21:52

Ooh Reva is pretty

Firebird83 · 03/05/2022 22:38

Aria

HideousKinky · 03/05/2022 22:43

Reva is pretty but always makes me think of Reeva Steenkamp

Both nice. I’d go with Aria.

Neverreturntoathread · 03/05/2022 23:04

Both lovely. Ignore other people’s associations. Toss a coin and see how you feel when it comes down.

brokengoalposts · 03/05/2022 23:07

Reva is by far the nicest

Irishfarmer · 03/05/2022 23:50

I prefer Aria.

Rubyroseyposey · 03/05/2022 23:51

Reva

backtobusy · 03/05/2022 23:53

Reva makes me think of Ladas but younger people wouldn't know what I was talking about.

MarmiteCoriander · 03/05/2022 23:56

I like Aria as a name, but think of the Australian music awards- so its like naming her Brit awards, MTV, grammys etc if she ever travels.

How is Reva pronounced? Ree-va or Re-va? Not keen on the sound either way- sorry.

Feckingfeck · 04/05/2022 00:11

Reva sounds a bit like you are trying to say river in a posh accent 😬

Reya is nice though?

Marty13 · 04/05/2022 02:04

I like Reva.
Aria is very GOT although a pretty name. I prefer it written Arya. But Reva is more unusual and poetic imo.

Namaste6 · 04/05/2022 06:29

Both! Reva Aria Surname.

Roselilly36 · 04/05/2022 06:50

Aria is quite popular. So out of the two choices I would choose Reva.

JuneOsborne · 04/05/2022 06:56

Reva was on my list if ds1 was a girl. Love it.

cushioncovers · 04/05/2022 07:01

I love Reva

Keekabooyou · 04/05/2022 07:02

Love both! But aria is becoming more popular like Alyssa and Anna were a few years ago. You’ll know when she’s here. Good luck.

orchidsunrise · 04/05/2022 08:36

I'd pronounce Reva like Ray-vah

Snowiscold · 04/05/2022 09:24

I quite like both. Aria is a little bland sounding, but it’s quite a well-established name. It has nothing to do with GOT. Reva does make me think of poor Reeva, but that’s because it’s the only Reva/Reeva I know of. I prefer Aria, I think. I like the music link.

DuchessOfSausage · 04/05/2022 09:29

Of the two Reva. Aria is so nothingy
