250 baby names that start with ‘R’
Names that start with "R" tend to feel both timeless and strong.
"The initial 'R' is associated with some of our most-used classic names, like Rose and Robert, as well as some of the most popular modern names, like River and Riley," says baby name expert Sherri Suzanne. As the founder of My Name for Life, she provides handpicked name recommendations for parents-to-be around the world.
"What’s interesting about the 'R' sound is that it is pronounced differently in a variety of languages and dialects," Suzanne adds. "In fact, if you’re interested in languages, it is fun to try to discern where a speaker is from by the way they pronounce the letter 'R,' from the trilled Spanish 'R' to the French 'throatier' sound."
