"ree"

Girl Names
1

I was thinking about what my top names for a girl have in common, and realized that many of them have the ree sound: [name_f]Clarice[/name_f], [name_f]Frederica[/name_f], [name_f]Irene[/name_f], [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Rita[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] and my daughter’s name, [name_f]Muriel[/name_f]. I would love it if you could help me think of more names with the “ree” sound somewhere.

Also, have you found any patterns in the sounds of your favorite names?

I love finding little patterns like this in names! I’ve personally found I like names with a strong ‘K’ sound somewhere in them, and masculine names ending in -ian.

Some names with the ree sound…

As for patterns in my own name choices, I tend to like names that are heavy on ‘o’ and ‘l’ sounds, plus 3 syllable names that have a short middle syllable (like [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Holiday[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] etc)

I’ve noticed that with D! I love many names with hard D sound.

For ree names, what about [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]?
