I prefer Rhea to Rheia, but then again, I am generally keen on mythological names, and this is a lovely one. I pronounce Rheia as RAY-ə and Rhea as REH-ə.

I prefer Rhea as well. I wouldn't have thought of the pronunciation REH-ə.

Thanks!

I guess it comes more naturally to Romance language speakers. It might be worth considering if one is concerned about diarrhoea jokes.

Oh no... The diarrhea connection wasn't ever really a thought. I actually prefer Ria and it's probably for the best.
