I know one Rhys, a boy who's about 10.
I like it for a boy and only spelt that way. |

Love the name Rhys. Hearing the name I would always assume boy but think that there is the possibility of it being a girl. Reading the name I would always assume boy for "Rhys" but would think Reece slightly more feminine.
Reece also reminds me of the bathroom shop and Reese Witherspoon (just looks similar). |

It's such a masculine name for a girl IMO, definitely boy. I also associate it with Reece Plumbing.

Love it!
Dh and I both loved the name but I wanted to spell it Reece he wanted Rhys, which I really disliked the look of. Getting a job with the company ment we crossed it off anyway - although the kid could have had lots of personalised T-Shirts  The plumbing company has been around for over 90 years so you'll always get comments about it but none of the Reece's I have ever known have been teased because of it.Much prefer it to Nathan and Dominic This post has been edited by ohboy: 11/08/2012, 02:47 PM |

QUOTE (Glowworm80 @ 09/08/2012, 09:27 PM)  I like it, but prefer Rhys. I think Reece looks more feminine, probably because it's so similar to Reese as in Reese Witherspoon. Another vote for Rhys |

QUOTE The Dominics I know are mostly Nicks if they're not straight up Dominics? I know three Dominics and they all go by Dom. I like Rhys for a boy and Reese for a girl. |
