HelpRe: WDYT OF REYNA !!?!?!
in reply to a message by ✧･ﾟ: *Magpie*:･ﾟ✧
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.
