HelpRe: Raia
in reply to a message by namebug
I like it but I pronounce it RAH-ya. It's my favorite spelling also so you didn't come up with it ;) Rhea I pronounce REE-ah or REH-ah. Raya I pronounce RAY-ah. If you want to go with RAY-ah I'd spell it Raya it would make things easier.
I don't think it's made up, just a spelling variant. I like Laia but it's too close to Raia. I also like Leia.
I like Ariadne. Aria is pretty close to Raia, though so I'd only use the full name. Prefer Ariana, though.

I was realizing this later - that Raia would more appropriately be pronounced RAH-ya - similar to Gaia.
My only problem with Raya is I have a beef with y's and try to avoid them at all costs in names. To me they just scream trend.
Perhaps Reia would be closer to what I'm aiming for?
At one time I liked Ariana, but in the past year alone I've met 6 little ones given this name. Not to mention I have a few second cousins on both sides with this name, it's gotten to the point where it's kind of sickeningly cutesy now. It seems almost like a filler first name of this generation. Then I was introduced to Ariadne on the history channel and fell in love with the name and history haha.
Thanks a lot for your input it really helped!

I like Reia! I had it on my 'character' list as a variant of Leia. That would be a very good spelling to use IMO.
