I really like Rhys (and think it looks so much better than Reese); however, while I have no difficulties pronouncing it, in America this spelling is far less common and can lead to pronunciation issues. For example: the Welsh actor Paul Rhys has been called "Paul Rice" in American movie trailers - at least, that was the case in the 90s. But since that was 20 years ago, maybe a young American named Rhys wouldn't have an issue today?

I would more likely use Rhys as a middle name, though. One of my current stock combos is Wesley Owen Rhys, which feels very Welsh-English.
