I like it, though I think it's a bit insubstantial (especially spelled Reese/Reece - I think of the peanut butter cups). I actually think
Rhys looks way more distinguished and complete than
Reece /
Reese, although I do think it'll lend itself more to mispronunciation, at least in the U.S. However, with actor
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, maybe people are more aware of the pronunciation of
Rhys? I'd take an informal poll. Just write "
Rhys" on a card and ask people you know how they would pronounce that name. If you get a lot of "rice," take that into consideration. However, I think most people frequently have to spell or pronounce their names for strangers, so it's not too big of a deal.
