I was reading a book and realized the author, first name Rhys, was a woman, which startled me for a moment, since I'd only ever seen it on guys, or on surnames (like Sophie Rhys-Jones). But after contemplating it a while, I began to see at as a unisex name that definitely works on a girl. I've met people named Lies, so why not Rhys? What do you think? She looks to be around 65.
