[name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_f]Carys[/name_f] seem to be our top names. I automatically default to those spellings, but I was wondering what other people’s preference was for a girl:
[name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] or [name_u]Reece[/name_u]?
[name_f]Carys[/name_f], [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] or [name_f]Karis[/name_f]? (I also know that different spelling here can potentially alter the pronunciation of care-iss, but I’m not sure if it matters here in [name_f]Canada[/name_f]).
I live in Toronto and I think that [name_u]Reese[/name_u] and [name_f]Carys[/name_f] make the most sense out of the spellings. I think that the other spellings ([name_u]Rhys[/name_u], [name_u]Reece[/name_u], [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] and [name_f]Karis[/name_f]) would just confuse people’s pronunciation of the name. However, it might be different in Toronto than where you live.
[name_u]Reese[/name_u].
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] is a tricky one. Personally I’d lean more towards [name_f]Karis[/name_f] (or [name_f]Caris[/name_f]/[name_f]Charis[/name_f]) as the ‘ys’ ending looks like it’s missing an apostrophe.
The reason why we slightly prefer [name_f]Carys[/name_f], although I agree that the “y” can be a bit tricky, is because its the traditional Welsh spelling. We already have an [name_f]Isla[/name_f], so I’m ok with correcting names, haha.
Ok, we were set on the [name_u]Reese[/name_u] spelling as well, but I had some comments about the spelling (mainly that a “c” is more feminine and separates it from the chocolate company).
