Are any of these names too out there?
Is Anika, Riya or Rhea (pronounced Ree-yah) an african american baby girl name?
Annika is Scandinavian, and Rhea is Greek (Rhea is the name of a Greek goddess).
Reply:I do not like Riya
Anika is pretty, I think Swedish
Anika is fine for an African American Girl
Rhea, I think Italian, I think that would work too for your daughter
I like Anika better than Rhea
If you loves these names
I would not worry if people that are white are name them
I know a lot of white and african American that have the same names
Regina, James, Jordan, Kacie/Casey, Corey, Shawn/Sean, Taylor, Grace, Isabella, etc
Reply:i dont see how race should coincide with names all too much (even though my name Kimon is kinda african lol) but I like the way Riya looks but seems like there is a ambiguity on the pronunciation (happens to my name ALLL the time, and she will have to spend a lifetime telling folks how to say it but i like it the best) Anika is nice but i believe its russian/Slovenian or something and Rhea, aint really feeling that one...
Reply:No, they are not exclusively African-American. I know several Anika's who are caucasian, I think there is a famous tennis player with that name. And Rhea Pearlman is not African-American. I love the name Riya better than Rhea though, and Anika is on my baby name list.
Reply:Nope. Riya and Rhea are my favorites, I also like your spelling, Riya, it's different...anyway, I prefer the Rhea names to the Anika names...here are 2 other spellings: Ria and Rea
Reply:An African American name can be anything you want it to be (or not). I think of Rhea Pearlman, from Cheers when I see that name- so we'd all have different associations based on who we know.
Reply:Anika is the dutch version of Anne, and Hebrew for Grace.
The other two weren't on the site I looked up sorry. x
Reply:Anika is Scandinavian or German i know this cuz my gf is called Anika and shes german
Reply:Not too out there... Rhea reminds me of an older name though
Reply:I like Rhea :)
Reply:all of them are great names for your baby but i like riya the best
Reply:these names are indian names.......but i thin they are very pretty names...my really good friends name is Rhea
Reply:i dont think so!
