How would pronounce the name Raya?
Rye-uh!
ry-uh
ray-uh, the first syllable with a long a sound like you would say “ray” of sunshine
rye-a
Ry-uh
Ray-ah
Rye-a like the Disney movie.
Now because of the Disney movie I would say Rye-Uh, but I originally thought it was Ray-Uh and I’ve seen many people pronounce it Ray-Uh.
Rye-ah, like the private dating app.
I would say Ray-uh, as I personally know several with this name and all are pronounced this way. The Disney movie is the only time I’ve heard it pronounced Rye-uh. For the [name_f]English[/name_f] alphabet, it would phonetically be pronounced Ray-uh.
To me…
[name_f]Raya[/name_f] - Ray-uh
[name_f]Rya[/name_f] - Ry-uh
Rae-uh
due to the influence of the movie raya and the last dragon, i’d pronounce it rye-uh. if i didn’t have this movie’s associations, i’d instinctively pronounce it ray-uh.
Rye-ah (and the last dragon).
