HelpRe: Frustrated by mispronunciation
in reply to a message by Haeri
I do understand your frustration. I love Carolina (with the Latin pronunciation) but I also live in Virginia and I knew it would never fly here so I never even considered it seriously with my last child.
Yes, Reese and Reece are more well known in the US, however, with the popularity of Irish actor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, I'm hoping that will change. I personally love Rhys (this spelling only). At least you didn't dumb down. That's a pet peeve of mine (not that it should matter to anyone, lol). Would Rhys be butchered here? Perhaps, however, people can be easily educated. My advice is to educate them and take great pride in doing so.
