It's wonderful. It's ancient, but it also occurs (a bit scarcely) among modern Greek women. "Rhea" comes from the word "ροή" (rhoe), a word common in ancient and modern Greek language. It means "flow", a meaning related to the mythological "Rhea" who gave birth to many of the ancient gods, because she could give birth easily, without any problems. I would call again this name WONDERFUL. Let's put some classic beauty in our lives! Why a distasteful name?? It’s wonderful.
