Rhys/Reese/Reece

[Whitesoxfan41]

How do you feel about the spellings of Rhys? I prefer the traditional Welsh form Rhys but my mom says that's horrible to do to a child because his name isn't spelled phonetically. It's only 4 letter though, how hard can it be to learn?

Hubby is pretty set so far on this for a boys name.

Rhys Allen (Husband's middle name) Lafevor (surname)
Rhys Christian
Rhys Elliot
Rhys William

I prefer Rhys too, I think it's clear how its said etc. we had this on our list of boys names, out of your list I prefer Rhys Elliot or Rhys William x

Rhys is lovely, this spelling only.

Rhys Elliot
Rhys William

to me it looks like "rise" , and in the us people use it more for girls. spelling it reece or reese

 

[xjesx]

Rhys.

certainly not reese like the candy.

 

[Starkette]

Definitely traditional Rhys. Enough people know it's pronounced Reese, I think. And those who don't will learn quickly. It's not spelled so oddly that the sound differs a lot from how it looks.

I like Rhys Elliot or Rhys William

I've personally never met a girl named Rhys...especially not with that spelling and I live in the US.

 

[Varenne]

Rhys, definitely.

Reece looks wrong and overly trendy to me, and Reese is chocolate or a surname.

It's common enough over here (England) for everybody to know it anyway.

Rhys ! Rhys - it is of Welsh origin, and the meaning of Rhys is "enthusiasm". Native Welsh form of Reece. Actor Roger Rhys. Good !

 

[greenlady]

Rhys definitely. And I think it's a great name not used too much at the moment.

 

[bumblebeexo]

Rhys is the best spelling, not a fan of the other ways!

 

[Tezzy]

I like Rhys... but then im biased

pretty sure:

Rhys is masculine

Reece is feminine

I grew up along the road from a boy called Rhys Elliott
