Baby girl due soon which spelling Raya, Ria, or Rhea?

[KellyT197]

Baby girl is due soon, I want a name starting with R, I had Raya in mind, I'm stuck on what spelling to go for, which one do you think? Thank you for your help.

Is Raya not the name of a dating site?.

A rhea is a large flightless bird from South America - looks like an emu / ostrich.

Raya and Rhea are different names, with different sounds.

I would pronounce Raya as ray-a whereas Rhea and Ria as Ree-a. I used to go to school with a Ria and there is a little Rhea in my ds's class, I like it.

I know a little Raya and I really like it but it is pronounced Ray-a, is that what you want?

Rhea is a large bird, Raya is a dlwell known dating app.
Ria is fine

Yes that's it

Ria - I say ree-a and it feels more like a nickname.

Rhea - I say ree-a for this too.

Raya - this is ry-a to me just like Maya is my-a.

I would pick Raya.

Also, a ria is a geographical term, a drowned river valley that remains open to the sea.

But if you're into nature names, that would be fine.

I know a Rhia and that's pronounced Ree-a
I would pronounce Raya as it looks - Ray-a

My daughter had a 'Ria' in her class, to this day, now 22 she has always been known as Di - her nickname at school was Diahorrea..... just letting you know, Raya is prettier to me X

I'm a Rhea, I get lots of compliments on my name. And it's from Greek mythology spelt this way and is a moon of Jupiter so pretty cool.

And I can't get upset by the bird connotation 🤷🏼‍♀️.

I know one Raya and would say it like she does; Rye-a.

I know a Reya. Pronounced Ray-a. Just to make it more complicated for you.

Rhea is a bird and reminds me too much of diarrhoea.

They are

Ria and Rhea remind me of diarrhoea, so I’d go for Raya, although it’s a bit nothingy. Are there any other options?

I know a Riya and a Rhea. Both are from India, where it means 'singer'. Ria I think is more a nickname for Maria.

They are three different names

Raya - r-eye-a
Rhea -ray-a
Ria - ree-a

I would pronounce Raya, as Rye-uh rather than Ray-uh.

Ria/ Rhea - as someone said above about it sounding like the ending of diarrhoea

Raya - I would pronounce ray-a which is a different name entirely so much more suited and less likely to have people making the above connotations.

Though if you like the Ria/Rhea what about something like:

Aria
Maria
Gloria
Victoria
Rian/Rhian
Rhiannon
Rihanna

and you could always nn her Ria.

It’s not just the diarrhoea thing, it’s the fact that in my accent Rear sounds the same as Rhea or Ria

Raya I would say Ray-uh

This is how I would pronounce them.

I would go for Ria and have Alannah as a middle name
