Tell me you’re not thinking of calling your baby Reo

I’d go with Ree-oh to rhyme with Leo but would be thinking Speedwagon Grin

Ms Speedwagon, we meet again 🤣

Rach0104 · 24/07/2024 14:51

Yes, I am :) I met someone with the name with that spelling a few years ago and really loved it!

Well, how did they pronounce it? Surely that's the way you want. People will remember once told.

They will spend the rest of their lives correcting people they've just met though.

JimNast · 24/07/2024 15:41

Call him Oreo instead so you can be justifiably accused of taking the Biscuit

I know a Rio and would pronounce the same, to rhyme with Leo

deliwoman1 · 24/07/2024 20:08

I’d probably alternate between the two pronunciations until corrected if I’m honest. I don’t want to pronounce this to rhyme with Leo for some reason. Feels wrong, maybe because I know Rio is pronounced like that?

BlackLambAndGreyFalcon · 25/07/2024 22:47

I'd pronounced it to rhyme with Leo..... but I pronounce Leo as "Lay-oh"!

Aquamarine1029 · 25/07/2024 22:52

His name is Reo and he dances on the sand.

Bandina · 27/07/2024 01:53

Makes me think of Neo from the Matrix so I'd go straight to Ree-oh.

MirandaBlu · 27/07/2024 05:10

First guess would probably be to pronounce it like the Spanish-language girls' name Reo (REY-o, with slightly rolled "r") - so more like r-ay-o than r-ee-o.
