Reece is ok although I prefer Rhys, don't really like Jordan

Lebkuchenlover · 27/05/2013 13:41

I'm not keen on either, sorry.

I too wonder what makes these names 'normal' and what are 'abnormal' names?!

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/05/2013 23:42

Usual - what's a "normal" name?

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 24/05/2013 23:40

They both remind me of the horrid housing estate I used to live on! Two of the most commonly hollered names!

usualsuspect · 23/05/2013 20:04

Both great names.

Nice to see some normal names on MN

KittenofDoom · 23/05/2013 19:55

Oh, I can't take credit for the fart in the drainpipe Grin I merely passed that one on

ShadeofViolet · 23/05/2013 19:38

I like Rhys.

Alisvolatpropiis · 23/05/2013 19:21

I prefer Rhys and don't really like place names so not a fan of Jordan.

IKnowWhat · 23/05/2013 18:42

They are not my favourites. Sad. However, they are perfectly OK.

I prefer Rhys to Reece.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 23/05/2013 18:36

Got to hand it to you Kitten Chamber pots following on from farty noises down the drainpipe - another from Kitten of Doom's "Little Book of dinner party conversation starters". Grin

ThePavlovianCat · 23/05/2013 18:01

Not keen at all but I agree with the others that the Rhys spelling is nicer.

JazzAnnNonMouse · 23/05/2013 17:58

Rhys is nice.

Jordan is ok for a boy, not ok for a girl now IMO.

KittenofDoom · 23/05/2013 16:39

Jordan is awful, it's another name for a chamber-pot.

I knew a Reese once, he had terrible acne and greasy hair, so we used to refer to him as 'Greese'.

AmandaPayneNeedsANap · 23/05/2013 16:37

Not keen personally. Rhys is alright though.

Fragglewump · 23/05/2013 16:35

To me they sound dated enough to be slightly naff but not dated enough to be cool again.?!?!

Secondme · 23/05/2013 16:34

Not keen on the names at all. They are not silly, but they make me shiver.

MerryMarigold · 23/05/2013 16:33

Think they're both awful, awful. Everyone is being so polite!

milk · 23/05/2013 16:31

As in the chocolate and cereal brand?

FancyNancydick · 23/05/2013 16:22

Biscuit Eating babies is an excellent form of Protein.

sjuperyoni · 23/05/2013 16:14

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

TenthMuse · 23/05/2013 15:54

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

DribbleWiper · 23/05/2013 15:34

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?

evamummy · 23/05/2013 15:10

Not names that I would choose.

Not very keen, but not awful.

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