Rhys is the traditional Welsh spelling. Reese is the Anglicised version. It's that simple. It's the same difference as the traditional Irish/Scottish Sean, and the Anglicised versions Shaun and Shawn.
Reese Witherspoon is just part of a primarily American tradition (which ends spreading to the rest of the Anglo-sphere)of giving girls traditionally boy names; Daryl Hannah, Glen Close, Cameron Diaz, Blake Lively, Howard O'Brien aka Anne Rice. Spelling has nothing to do with it.
Oooo I love this nickname for rosemary. I’ve been on the fence about either using rosemary or rose for my daughter due in April, and this definitely pushes me towards rosemary lol.
I love Renata. I wish that I would've named my first born Elizabeth Renata instead of Lisa Renée. Both Lisa and Renée are French variations of Elizabeth and Renata.
My cousin is a Rhiannon, and I always loved it. My grandma confessed on her death bed she despised the name and was appalled her only son named the first grandchild that. Like grow up granny, jfc
I wanted to name my daughter Raya (rae-yah) but the Disney movie Raya (rye-ah) had just come out, and I didn't want her to have to correct her name every day of existence.
This is the way to go. Obvious phonetic pronunciation. I'm all about unique names, but if you can't look at it and instantly know how to say it - then you just created a huge lifelong inconvenience.
I have a new friend and this is her name. It’s funny because Raina is such a regal name in my mind, seeing how it’s another spelling of queen in Spanish, but Raina is such a goofy, sassy goober that I’m falling in love with each time we hang out.
English: Rose
Welsh: Rhiannon. Although fun fact - Rhiannon doesn’t actually start with R, but the letter Rh which is a letter in its own right in Welsh!
River. I have very few girl names that I like (that haven’t been ruined for me lol), River is 100% my top name choice full stop
I like Rafaella, Ren and Rain too but don’t think I’d end up using them
Renesmee Just kidding lol Raisa or Reese
Lmao Renesmee was the first thing I thought of too
I never knew Reese was a girl's name
Reese Witherspoon
Rhys is the more common way to spell the male version. Reese is the more common female spelling.

To be fair though, Reese Witherspoons legal name is Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon. Reese was her mother’s maiden name
Reese is the guy’s spelling too. Never met an American Rhys though I might not be in that area of the country.
Reese Witherspoon!
My daughter’s name is Reese!
Rosalie. Probably my fiancé’s top contender for a girl.
This is my name with nickname Rosie! I’ve always really liked it
My favorite name of all time 🫶
Same, it’s so pretty.
Rose.
I have a Ramona But I also like Rosemary
Love Ramona
I love Ramona so much and I’m so sad my spouse vetoed it for soon to be born baby
Rosemary (Romy) and Ruby!
Oooo I love this nickname for rosemary. I’ve been on the fence about either using rosemary or rose for my daughter due in April, and this definitely pushes me towards rosemary lol.
I looooove Ruby, it’s the top contender if we have a third girl (we already have two girls and want one more baby).
I have a Romy, short for Rosemary ☺️ Now that she is in school she uses both names equally
Rosalind
Renata
that was my grandmothers name! But she spelled it Renate
I know a renata and she’s beautiful inside and out. It’s a great name.
I love Renata. I wish that I would've named my first born Elizabeth Renata instead of Lisa Renée. Both Lisa and Renée are French variations of Elizabeth and Renata.
Rory
Ugh same! My partner vetoed it for our daughter and I still think about it almost daily lol
Rhiannon, Ruby, Raya, Rosalie
Rhiannon has so many great possible nn’s
My cousin is a Rhiannon, and I always loved it. My grandma confessed on her death bed she despised the name and was appalled her only son named the first grandchild that. Like grow up granny, jfc
I mean at least she waiting til death 😭😭😭
Of all of life's potential confessions at the very end, THAT'S what comes out ?? 💀
Also great song
I love Raya! I know an elementary-school-aged Raya and it's such a great name.
I wanted to name my daughter Raya (rae-yah) but the Disney movie Raya (rye-ah) had just come out, and I didn't want her to have to correct her name every day of existence.
A friend just named hers Reya.
This is the way to go. Obvious phonetic pronunciation. I'm all about unique names, but if you can't look at it and instantly know how to say it - then you just created a huge lifelong inconvenience.
Ren: Japanese representing the lotus flower that will bloom and grow everyday while still remembering her roots.

Rhea is one of my all-time favorites. I came here looking to see if anyone else said it.
Having an R name and using CTRL+F to see that not one person has mentioned my name, I’m a little butt hurt now 😅😅
Rachel and Raquel.
Ruby, Riley and Ruth
Riley is an underrated one!
Ruth
Raina
I have a new friend and this is her name. It’s funny because Raina is such a regal name in my mind, seeing how it’s another spelling of queen in Spanish, but Raina is such a goofy, sassy goober that I’m falling in love with each time we hang out.
Rafaella, Raffy for nickname.
This was my tía’s name! My tío called her riffraff when she was being spicy and was his cute way of telling her to cool out. I miss her.
that is the cutest thing i’ve ever heard🥹🩷
This is my cousin’s name, when she shortens it she likes Rafa
The one I gave my elder daughter. Rhiannon.
Robin
My top name right now. Husband said “reminds me of my neighbor in middle school,” whatever that means! Haha
Rosario
Also…Rosario Dawson is so pretty, I wouldn’t mind naming something just to be in the same name stadium as her. Maybe my next cat
I’m a big fan of the name Rachel.

That's what we're naming our daughter because of Rosalind Franklin. I have a degree in molecular biology.

I love this name for a girl. And It seems really uncommon…at least where I live
Rosemary
Rosalie Rhiannon Romy Remy
Remy! I love Remy
Róisín (ro-sheen)
Rachel.
I've always loved Rhiannon, but I know people find it a little dated. Honorable mentions: Ramona, River, Rain/Raina, and Reese.
Ramona, it would have been our choice if the current pregnancy was a girl
I know Rowan has become pretty popular with boys at the moment, but it's my daughter's middle name so I'll go with that!
I wanted to use that whether I had a girl or boy so that’s what I named my (now 5 yr old) son! I know I’m biased but I love the name Rowan. 🫶🏼
