HI,
My quandry is I love the name Rhys, and I wanted to know if you or anyone else thought if this name could be unisex…i am only going to be able to have one more baby, (health and promise to hubby ) and I love this name but if we have a girl I dont want to scar her for life if this is more a boys name vs a unisex name.
thanks
Shannon
Dear Shannon,
I know several girls named Reese, and they are not scarred for life. It is perfectly acceptable to give a girl a name that has been traditionally male, and Reese is one of those names that has already crossed the gender charts. Look at Reese Witherspoon! I don’t see it being any different with the traditional English spelling: Rhys.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
