Hey, I wanted to see your thoughts on my first name Ríona. I’m half Irish with an Irish last name beginning with M and my two middle names start with an A and an M.
Even though I’ve experienced years of no one being able to say my name correctly (Silent o), I love the more lowkey femininity to it and the meaning behind it, aswell as the unique Fada (í) on the “i”.
My family also calls me Ri,Ria or Rio(my favourite) as nicknames.
I’ve never heard of your name, but I quite like it. It feels like a name that wouldn’t feel out of place in early 20th century [name_u]America[/name_u], but also could be a vintage revival name. Is it common in [name_u]Ireland[/name_u]?
It’s really lovely! I’d have known how to pronounce it but I can see that being a slight frustration for a Ríona outside of [name_u]Ireland[/name_u]. It seems like a name that works pretty well internationally though!
