We are expecting a baby boy in early March. So far the closest we've come to agreeing on a name...and as dh says, it's not set in stone...is Reece Anthony. I love Reece/Rhys for a boy and admit that I prefer the spelling Rhys. However, as a teacher, I know that dh is right when he says that our boy would have problems forever with misspelling and mispronunciation. Anthony was my maternal grandpa's name which I love and both other kids have family middle names.

So...does Reece Anthony seem to fit with his sibs:

Skyler May and Connor Patrick

BTW, if he'd been a girl, his name would have been Mia Kathryn. Had amnio though, and he is definitely a HE.

I like it a lot. I too prefer the spelling Rhys, but I can understand how many people would mispronounce it. Its a nice name and it goes well.

I like the name Reece/Rhys, and think it does go well with the siblings names. Reece Anthony is a really nice sounding name.

I would be concerned with Reece being so unisex nowadays though. But what I am saying??? I have an Aaron (also a grils name--Erin) and am probably naming boy #3 Cameron (another name the girls are taking over--Kamryn).

So if you are like me, and just love the name, go with it anyway!

I think it goes fine! I do like Rhys better but agree with your DH. Luckily you chose the more masculine spelling {Reece vs. Reese)


GL!

Skysmom, I like Reece Anthony. I would also suggest spelling it Reese with an "S", that is my favorite, and I think that the name goes great with Sky & Connor. Very nice names for your babies! Congrats on the little bouncy baby boy.
