Ria

I’m thinking of adding [name]Ria[/name] to my Girls List. It’s a character in a favorite book of mine and I’m really liking the sound of it lately. To me it’s a nn, though. There’s lots of formal names that could lead to this, but nothing is jumping out at me. What do you guys think? What’s a great name that leads to [name]Ria[/name]?

I love it on its own. You could also use [name]Rhea[/name], if that feels fuller to you.

[name]Ariana[/name]
[name]Maria[/name]
[name]Alexandria[/name]
[name]Astoria[/name]
[name]Honoria[/name]
[name]Mariana[/name]
[name]Dorian[/name]
[name]Gloria[/name]
[name]Hilaria[/name]
[name]Azaria[/name]
[name]Umbria[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name]
[name]Demetria[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Rhiannon[/name]
[name]Valeria[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Wisteria[/name]
[name]Andrea[/name]
[name]Adria[/name]

Could be a nn for [name]Aria[/name]

I like [name]Ria[/name] on its own a lot. [name]Aria[/name] is pretty. I also love [name]Arianna[/name].

I think it is really cute! If I may ask, what book is it from? I am looking for something to read!

[name]Maria[/name] is the first thing that jumps out at me. Obviously [name]Marie[/name] would work too.

My aunts name was [name]Maria[/name] but everyone called her [name]Ria[/name]. I like [name]Ria[/name] on its own.

[name]Ariana[/name], [name]Rihanna[/name], [name]Aria[/name]…

Btw, [name]Ria[/name] means “laugh!” [the imperative form of the verb] in Portuguese. [name]Lovely[/name] :smiley:

[name]Ria[/name] is a name my family is considering to changing my name to. It’s spunky and I think it can hold its own as a full name. [name]Rebecca[/name] nn [name]Ria[/name] is an alternative to [name]Becca[/name]/[name]Becky[/name].

Any name ending with -ria would work. [name]Aria[/name], [name]Maria[/name], [name]Alexandria[/name], [name]Astoria[/name] and more work beautifully. Or a name with -ria sound in it, like [name]Rhiannon[/name] and [name]Riona[/name].
