Would it be OK to pronounce [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] “[name_f]Ree[/name_f]-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-nen”?
If not, how would this be pronounced in US English?
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you find this name:
Unusual and interesting?
Trendy?
Freaky and what-the heck?
Beautiful, lyrical, feminine, uncommon with an fascinating historical lineage? (Hopefully!)
Likely nickname of Rhi ([name_f]Ree[/name_f]) or [name_f]Rhia[/name_f] ([name_f]Ree[/name_f]-uh).
I would also pronounce it “[name_f]Ree[/name_f]- [name_f]ANN[/name_f]-nen.”
I think I’d pick “unusual and interesting”- I think this name has a lot of personality! [name_f]Rhia[/name_f] and Rhi are cute nicknames.
If not ree-[name_f]ANN[/name_f]-en then how else would it be pronounced? I live in the US and that’s how I would pronounce it. It’s also the only pronunciation I’ve heard in the US.
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] definitely isn’t a trendy choice. It hasn’t been in the top 1000 since 2007 and dropped significantly before falling out in 2008.
I think it’s unusual but something that people should be familiar with do to the fact that it’s fairly similar to [name_u]Shannon[/name_u]. [name_f]Rhia[/name_f] would be a nice nickname.
I love mystical names, and [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] is one of my faves. I pronounce it as you do. I first heard the name from [name_m]Fleetwood[/name_m] [name_m]Mac[/name_m], and it’s a great moody white whitch song that doesn’t reek of tight bellbottoms and cocaine the way other songs of the era often do (despite all of the band no doubt having a ton of cocaine AND bellbottoms). Because it never caught on as a huge name trend, this association is also not too bad, and instead I associate it with the original associations. There are a ton os legit nicknames from it, too.
I actually love this name, I have a friend with this name and I think it is wonderful.
She actually got ‘[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], like the Fleetwoodmac song?’ alot, but the song was more relevant when she was growing up
I really like it for it’s mythical connections. I’ve never heard it pronounced any way but how you have it. I think it has a nice sound, not to unusual. It’s familiar enough and would be hard to mispronounce. [name_f]Ree[/name_f], [name_f]Rea[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] all good nicknames.
I also have a friend who recently renamed herself and chose [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f].
That’s how I pronounce it! I do indeed think it’s a beautiful, lyrical, feminine, uncommon name with a fascinating historical lineage! [name_m]How[/name_m] did you know? Great choice.
I love the name [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]. It’s beautiful & uncommon to me. I like the fact that it’s not in the top 1000 on the social security index.
