I would like to name my daughter Drea Marie or Dreya Marie but a few people have asked how i will spell her first name as they thought it might be mispronounced.
Drea Di Matteo from Desparate Housewives has no Y but the other way is Dreya like Freya. What do you think?

Another vote for Dreya over Drea - makes it clear that it should be pronounced to rhyme with Freya.

My name is Dreya. I'm 20 years old. It's pronounced 'Dree-ah'. When people read my name, they pronounce it 'Draya', such as the word Freya. As for the nicknames, I was called Diarrhea ONCE in grade school. When people have read my name, they've accidentally said "Diedre". I would suggest spelling her name Drea. I strongly recommend this name, it's different, and I always get compliments. Don't call her Andrea, and then Drea for short. It takes away some of the uniqueness. Hope I've helped!
