Re: Reese
in reply to a message by sweet(:
I'm torn.
My philosophy with nns is let them be as creative and unconventional as you like, as long as the child has a formal name to fall back on. And you've got that here. So I should be happy.
But I'm worried that Rhys (the only spelling I like) is on the endangered male name list. I realize you would be using it only as a nn. But still, it worries me.
So I'm going to use my heart and not my head and say "no" to Teresa, nn Reese. Sorry. But you get consolation points from me for originality. :-)
