HelpRe: umm...
in reply to a message by bex
To be fair, I think Rainbow Dash meant to say that choosing a spelling that's unusual in certain locations and then getting upset when people don't pronounce it right (because they're unfamiliar with it) can be a bit absurd.
I'm sorry, but I agree (not saying this to Haeri specifically, but in general). I don't know where Haeri lives, but if it's the southern US, or US in general, I'm not surprised. Rhys is not a common name here, especially in that spelling, when most people are familiar with the name because of Reese Witherspoon.

My aunt/ uncle/ cousins have the last name Reese (like Reese's Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups). I also know of a family that spells it Reece from work. I heard it said REE sees on tv, and it annoyed me. Rhys isn't common here, so there will be an annoying amount of people will mispronounce it. Even one can be annoying- the secretary keeps saying bri SIH dee ah for Briceida (bree SAY da). She should know the name. The kid has gone to school here four years now.
