I'm expecting my first child (a girl) in Feb. My husband loves the name Reese/Reece. I really like it too, but I'm wondering if it is getting too popular due to actress Reese Witherspoon. I don't want her to have a popular name. We've thought about Reese Preslee. What do you think? Thanks!

Just wanted to drop a line and say that i named my son reise. i love the name and am so happy with it, but feel it is more masculine. But that is just me.

Well I named my son Rhys so I guess I much prefer it for a boys name since I think it has that strong yet cool image that is so necessary with boys. Frankly it depresses me when people pick it for a girls name just because I worry about Rhys having problems with people making fun of him later on but I suppose that is always the way it is with cool boys names...forever being used as girls names (a la Ashley and Lindsay...sigh).

Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions! I appreciate your input. My husband loves the name so much, her name will probably be Reese. Thanks again.

P.S. You are right...I am an OK State grad. Go Pokes!

Reese/Reece is really cute! Live in southeastern Idaho, and not popular at all out here (yet). Abigail, Grace, Taylor, Madison, ect. are really hot right now, have been for a couple of years. I really like Reece Presley, it's cute! Good luck.
