I don't like either, but perfectly fine ( ie not ridiculous) names

Not really. I'd prefer the Rhys spelling if I had to choose. Jordan is Katie Price. Sorry

Not really keen TBH

Jordan is objectively nice but tainted by association nowadays, IMHO.

Reece/Reese/Rhys has less of the negative associations, but not my style really.

Neither my style, but not awful.

Rhys is OK. Reece and Jordan awful. Isn't Reece some kind of American peanut confectionary?

Reese's is the American confectionary.

Not my taste, but that shouldn't really matter. Thankfully we all have different tastes - makes life more interesting!

I like Reece (as in Witherspoon) but would use Rhys for a boy.

Jordan is either girl or boy for me, and would imagine that Jordan the model will be long gone from our collective memory by the time a baby born now is an adult!

Like Rhys for a boy, but not Jordan.
Neither for a girl.

Are the names for a DD or DS?

I wouldn't use either for a girl.

For a boy I think Reece is fine, but a bit boring.
I think it's a bit daft to use the Rhys spelling if you don't speak welsh as it won't be pronounced properly.
Don't like Jordan, never have done from NKOTB days.

Reece reminds me of Peanut Butter Cups, so all good Smile

Jordan not so good - unfortunately Katie Price has tainted that name forever IMO.

Rhys

Neither to my taste, but do agree it should be Rhys.

Not keen on either for boy or girl, sorry.

For girl or boy I like them. Reece has the edge.

miffybun73 · 23/05/2013 12:16

Not very keen, but not awful.

It's just that out of all the 100s of possible names I wouldn't choose those two.

Rhys - okay if you're Welsh.

Jordan - quite a common teenage name, although there was a 3-year-old in the doctor's the other day. Sorry, but I've met a LOT of teenaged boys with this name and (except in one case), they didn't make me associate good things with it.

Cameron? Joshua? Euan? Ryan? Hayden?

Neither are my style. Prefer spelling Rhys, but wouldn't use either personally.

Prefer reece/rhys. Jordan for a girl is tainted by KP and i just dislije it for boys.
