At my church there is this adorable, dark red haired little girl whose name is [name_f]Riya[/name_f]. I’d never heard it before, and I just wanted to see what u thought of it. Thanks! 
I’m not sure if it’s pronounced differently, but I would say [name_f]Ree[/name_f]-a, which sounds a lot like [name_f]Rhea[/name_f]. Maybe it’s a variation?
I think it’s beautiful. It does remind me of [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] - which I hate the look of, but love the meaning and sound. I prefer the look of [name_f]Riya[/name_f].
It’s pronounced [name_m]Rye[/name_m]-ah. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
