[Opinions] Re: Rhys, Reece, Reese?
in reply to a message by Haeri
I love Rhys (but only the original spelling). Go for it. If people don't know the pronunciation right off the bat, educate them. Consider it a public service. ;-)
Honestly, I've known people with the simplest names that were crucified on a semi-regular basis. I don't know if others can't read or they just don't pay enough attention, but in my view, it's easier to learn something new than to unlearn error. The Rhys spelling is relatively new in the US (thanks to Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and as far as I know, there have been no other pronunciations for this spelling.
