Rhea

RAY-ə sounds so much better, I've always pronounced it that way :) it is also closer to the Greek pronunciation (which is beautiful).

I think this should be pronounced Rey-uh. If I wanted it pronounced Ree-uh, I would just name her Ria!

I actually like both pronunciations.

Rhea is a surname in my family, commonly given as a middle name to the daughters of Rhea women who marry into other surnames. We pronounce it, as both a surname and a given name--RAY. The Rhea branch of my family is originally from Ireland, having moved to America several hundred years ago, and the name has been pronounced this way as long as anyone can remember.

The proper Latin pronunciation of this name is RAY-ə.

I've also heard this pronounced "RAY-ah".
