Do you like the name Keller Rhys?

Question

Rhys (pronounced like Reece)

Do you like?
Any suggestions?

Rhys is actually a native welsh form of Reece. And is pronounced the same.

Answer 1

I don't care for how the Rs simply run together, to make this sound like Keller Ees, but the names themselves are fine (and I particularly love that you've used the traditional -- and attractive! -- Rhys spelling, by the way). ;)

I'd personally prefer something like Cillian/Killian Rhys (since I believe from a previous post you were looking at a few other C/K names ... pardon if I'm mistaken). ;) Hope that helps!

Edited to add: There were no other responses when I began to reply, so I just had to comment on the ignorant "Rhys doesn't spell REES" and "spell it correctly" type replies! LOL Isn't it a shame when people who have no idea what they're talking about try to tell you what is "correct?" ;) Perhaps you should add an explanation concerning the Welsh roots of the CORRECT, original spelling Rhys, and the fact that both Reece and Reese are simply modern "Americanized" forms. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using the proper, traditional spelling of a real name, I assure you. ;)

Answer 2

I love it. And yes, Rhys *is* pronounced "rees".

I like Welsh and Gaelic names left in their original forms as much as possible (some are simply too difficult to keep but Rhys works fine).

As for Van Girl saying it sounds like "Calories" - well, yeah - she is right LOL :)

BUT, I named my first born John Eric (now 18 yrs old) even though I knew that when said together quickly it sounds like "generic" --- but I Love the two names together so I didn't let that stop me. In fact, I have always called him by both names - not shortened to Eric as many of his friends have done :)

It's a great name! :)

Answer 3

I LOVE the name Keller.
Rhys has always been one of those "take it or leave it" kind of names for me. I don't dislike it, but not one of my favorites.
They do sound nice together!!! = )

I also like:

Keller Bishop
Keller Lawson
Keller Caine
Keller Mathis
Keller Roman

Hope this helps.....and if you decide to go with Keller Rhys.....It does flow very well....and will grow well with him!!!

Answer 4

I like Rhys but I like Cillian better than Keller; it makes me think of Helen Keller

Answer 5

Rhys DOES NOT pronounce Reese.

Answer 6

I don't like Keller but Reece is ok if you spell it right.

Answer 7

When you say it together it kind of sounds like the word "Calories", so I'm not crazy about it. But, it's not bad, if you like it go for it.

Answer 8

i don't like rhys. it sounds like a half name. pretty sure you'll have to explain the pronounciation of it over and over. if you like it, then ok. but based on opinions, don't do it.

but keller is great.

Answer 9
