The real name of the ancient Egyptian sun god was not Ra or Re - those are simplified versions used by writers over the past 200 years by people who do not understand that hieroglyphs did not include any vowel sounds, only consonants.
The real name was written with the characters r (a mouth seen from the front), a glottal stop, 3, (written with an arm and hand) and finally a drawing of the sun itself (a disk with a dot in the centre, followed by a single vertical line indicating that this is a determinative). The name can also be followed by the sign for "god" - a seated man with a beard, or sometimes a seated man with a falcon's head. Neither the sun disk nor the "god" sign have any sound value.
Based on Egyptian personal names that include the name of the sun god written in the records of the Assyrians, Hittites and other neighbouring people, the name of the sun god was probably more like Ri'a. We can never know for certain.
