I’d actually pronounce these differently.
Ria- ree-ah
Rhea- ray-ah

I would pronounce Rhea as "Ray" because I know many people with that surname. Ria will more than likely be pronounced correctly by most people since "Mia" is very well known.

I would pronounce them the same, both like Ree-a.
I know a girl named Rhea Gabrielle. I think that’s really pretty.

I like the name Rhea Gabrielle as well, but I love Rhea Madison and Rhea Grace

I would pronounce Rhea Ree-uh. It’s spelled the same as the type of bird so I assume it’s pronounced the same. It’s very pretty.

Rhea Eleanor
Rhea Charlotte
Rhea Madeleine
Rhea Amelia
Rhea Morgan

The official pronunciation of Rhea is Ray. Were you aware? If you want it pronounced as ree-ah, I’d go with Tia :) good luck!

^ Ria, not Tia, typo :) sorry

Ree-uh is the correct pronunciation according to the following three dictionary websites:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Rhea

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rhea

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rhea

Both pronunciations are probably correct, really. It just depends what you’re used to.

I really like both actually. Ria may be simpler if you want to avoid the pronunciation difficulties but both are very pretty.
