Hi !!!

Can anyone tell me what are the differences?

Are they all unisex? Which is more masculine or feminine in your opinion?

Do they have a different feeling/usage/popularity?

I always think of Rhys/Reece/Reese as a male name but Reese is okish for a female.

Rhys is a Welsh name meaning "enthusiasm" and the other two are just anglicised versions of it.

Rhys, Reese, and Reece for male, and Reese for female!

I think they are all technically masculine, but I do like Reese and Reece on girls. Rhys is far better suited for boys.

Rhys is not so popular in the States I think. Probably because the pronunciation is not immediately obvious to everyone.

Pie explains the difference well.

None of them are unisex, they are all male names. I like Rhys the best.

Rhys: is the Welsh spelling of a Welsh masculine first name, which is also a surname, variously anglicised as Rees, Reece and Reese. In Wales it's not used for females, but mainly due to the actress Reese Witherspoon, the anglicised surname has become a unisex first name, mostly in the US.

Rhys is pronounced differently in Wales, but not outside it.
