HelpRe: Rheia / Rhea
in reply to a message by whim
I personally just say Rhea as RAY-ə, although I would say Rheia in the same way. I love Rhea (on my favourites list), both in sound, and look. Rheia seems quite appealing too, but, even though I personally think it makes the RAY-ə pronunciation more obvious, in reality it would most likely be said REE-ə, and have the same spelling/pronunciation issues as Rhea. Since Rhea's can be said the same (or as far as I'm aware), it just seems simpler to use that version. But either way, Rhea/Rheia is a beautiful name.

I tend to do the same thing and pronounce Rhea as RAY-ə, like I would Rheia. The actual pronunciation is REE-ə, but I'm not a fan. I see RAY-ə as being more intuitive in most cases but thinking about it, the rising popularity of Thea might be an issue...
