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

Not keen on either for boy or girl, sorry.

Onesleeptillwembley · 23/05/2013 10:54

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

OwlLady · 23/05/2013 10:50

Rhys

LaRegina · 23/05/2013 10:46

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

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

What Littlecherub said ^

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.

Littlecherublegs · 23/05/2013 10:29

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

ThingummyBob · 23/05/2013 10:27

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!

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

Reese's is the American confectionary.

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

DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper · 23/05/2013 09:56

Neither my style, but not awful.

HorryIsUpduffed · 23/05/2013 09:51

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

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

MoaningMingeWhingesAgain · 23/05/2013 09:51

Not really keen TBH

Eskino · 23/05/2013 09:48

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

MrsApplepants · 23/05/2013 09:46

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

IAteTheCake · 23/05/2013 09:34

neither are my cup of tea...but perfectly ok...

ThingummyBob · 23/05/2013 09:31

Let me be first Grin

They are both lovely imho.
