I know someone with this name, she spells it Rheina, so that's what I'm used to. It's ok, it sort of puts me in mind of Valkyries.

I feel like I’d pronounce Rheina as Reina at first glance. There’s just something about the RIE sound (for girls) I’ve really been digging lately, not sure why! Perhaps Riena or Rhiena can work...

It reminds me of the Rhine river. Rinah is the most intuitive spelling out of these, I suppose.

Not a big fan of any of these, I’d prefer Reina.

Never heard it with a RIEna sound. Where I live, it's very common as a nn for Catherina etc, and always has the Rina spelling. It's OK as a nn, but not as a full name; not in South Africa anyway, that I've ever seen.

Rina and Rinah look like ree-na to me.
Rhina looks too much like a female rhino, otherwise it'd work...
Rinah is the best of the three since it suggests a rhyme with Dinah.I think Rynah or Raina seems to fit the pronunciation a little better. If we're getting creative we could maybe try Raiena or Rhyna.

That was my exact thought process on the spelling of Rinah.Rynah / Rhyna would work quite well I think, thank you. :)

I prefer Raina. Rinah looks like a typo.

I dislike RIE-na, but I like REE-na. RIE-na sounds like "rhino".Rina (REE-na) is nice, I like the meaning "white jasmine".Rinah looks misspelled and Rhina looks more like "rhino".
