Um, it's arcane for a reason. May I suggest Regina instead?

Um, you're closed-minded.

No, I'm realistic. Think about the child as a person, a person who has to go through life with the name her parents gave her. Strange or extremely unfamiliar names are a burden. There is more to consider than whether the name sounds "cool" or "pretty" or "different" or "kre8tive".

I'd love to have been named Richenza. News flash; not everyone is or should be like you. My sister has a "strange, unfamiliar" name and she likes it. Burdensome is an attitude - even names you're familiar with are a "burden" sometimes because they're not familiar to every single person you meet.

So instead of my actual opinion, you just wanted me to tell you how beautiful a name it is?

I value your opinion but resent your mode of delivery.

You know I'm not naming a child, right? I'm a gay college freshman who won't even consider adopting a child until I've secured my PhD and a substantial vocation.

Richenza is kind of weird to me, but I do think it's pretty.
Some great combos...Richenza Catherine, Richenza Corisande, Richenza Millicent, Richenza Pearl, and you really should also consider Richenza Elizabeth (by the way, Elizabeth makes probably the best middle name ever).

Did you first learn of Richenza when I posted about it? :) I think it comes across as sophisticated and exotic even though it does kind of sound like a type of cheese. :D Because it's an odd name, it needs to be matched with a more...contemporary mn. So, from your combos, I like:Richenza Adelaide
Richenza Adeline
Richenza Amabel
Richenza Aveline
Richenza Caroline
Richenza Catherine
Richenza Clare
Richenza Eve
Richenza Lillian
Richenza Marguerite
Richenza Mariam
Richenza Mary
Richenza Pearl

Richenza is pretty cool. I don't think I could ever use it, but I would admire someone who had the guts to use it themselves.It might work better as a middle name, though.

my first thought was...Some kind of really good cheese that you can grate over your spaghetti and meatballs.

LOL!You always make me laugh! It is kind of true, though, about the cheese.
