no problem.:) it *may* have originated as a mispronunciation way back when, but if generations of your family have pronounced it a certain way along with all the other people on your side of the country I am definitely willing to accept it as an alternate way.I remember I was irritated when I found out "Rhea" is pronounced "Ree-ah". I decided to heck with it, I am going to pronounce it Ray-ah anyways.;)

Slightly OTI had a college professor whose surname was Rea & I thought it was prn Ree b/c of Rhea. It's actually prn Ray, so your prn of Rhea might not be that far off!
