REE-an...

I believe this is a name on its own and also a nickname for Rhiannon.
It's alright, I prefer Rhiannon.

It's pronounced "REE-an"

I really like it.

REE-an...

...is the correct pronunciation I'm pretty sure, like Chanel said its like the start of Rhiannon. Every Rhian I've ever met has pronounced it that way anyway.

I pronounce it REE-an. It is OK. I would not use it myself.

I think it's REE-an...

Like the beginning of Rhiannon. I prefer Rhiannon, nn Rhian.

REE-an. I generally love Welsh names, but that's not one of them. I just don't like the sound of it.

I would pronounce it just like Ryan. If it's an 'alternative' (i.e. creative) spelling of Ryan I'm not sure I like it but otherwise I think it's quite nice.

I'd pronounce it the same as Ryan as well.
I love the name for a girl.

It's not an alternative, it's welsh and a different name.
