I think it's a Filipino word that means "queen" then it sounds hippie in my opinion. Then I pronounce ray-nuh or rayn-uh.

Pronounced similar to Rhea?
It's an okay name. I don't like it as its not my style, but its not bad. I like the re-nah pronunciation more than ray-nah, but I don't automatically read it as ray-nah, it seems more like an American thing (like Reagan being pronounced ray-gun rather than ree-gAn)
As it's relatively short, I'd opt for a longer middle name. To avoid repetitiveness, I'd take care not to repeat sounds - so no middle names beginning with r- or a- or ending with -a or -r sounds.
Reyna Elizabeth
Reyna Gwendolyn
Reyna Penelope
Reyna Persephone
Reyna Gabrielle
Reyna Hermione
Reyna Suzanne
Reyna Lorraine
Reyna Josephine
Or if those are too normal for you, something like;
Reyna Nightingale
Reyna Delphine
Reyna Wednesday
Reyna Zephyrine

I think it's more that a "ree" pronunciation would be an English/British thing. :)
Reyna looks Spanish (to Americans but also in general? Like Reina and Reynaldo, even though I guess there is Reynold which I would say "ren-uld"). Idk why Rhea and Reagan are often "reh/ray" here, maybe Irish/German/Italian/Spanish/Greek influence (I think of Beatrice, Shea, Andrea, Amedea, Thea). I think Americans would pronounce Riagan "ree-gan" plus Rhiannon is always "ree" here.

I don't really like it and would use the pronunciation rain a
Wrenna or Renna would be better the pronunciation you provided

I completely agree, although I think Renna honestly looks best.

Reyna is just "Rain-a" to me. I don't understand how it would be pronounced any other way...
I like Reyna. It's a good name.
OH ... do you mean like REE-na? EY like in kidney?
Maybe you mean like Wren-a. A silent Y?
I dunno, either way it feels like a stretch to me, and it'd be mispronounced a lot... and I don't like the sound as much. But with a name for a person you can vary pronunciations a little bit.
I'm just going to pretend you are pronouncing it the way I do, and make combos. Maybe they work with the way you say it. Maybe not.
from your list -
Reyna Fleur
Reyna Calypso
from mine etc -
Reyna Kallisto
Reyna Emerald
Reyna Carmen
Reyna Viveca
Reyna Marceline

ithink im proncuing it wren na

I'm not too sure what you mean from your description of "r e nah", apart from maybe Renna/Rena said as REH-na. Maybe give that one a go. I think it's nice.
Also, I'm pretty sure Reyna isn't pronounced in the way you sort of described. If it isn't, then just go with Renna. We don't get to pick and choose how to say a name if it doesn't contain a specific pronunciation.
