Flynn or Reese?

DS1 due in 4 weeks time and we have narrowed it down to 2 names:

Flynn Aaron or Reese Morgan

Please give me your honest opinions. I have been crazy about Flynn since day 1 but now find myself leaning towards the other choice. The only concern I have is that Morgan is genrally considered a girls name.

In case it matters, we already have a DD whose name is Lily.

Thanks!

Of those two I prefer Reese Morgan. Aaron Reese would be my favourite combination of all the names.

Rhys Morgan

i like Aaron Rhys - is there any reason for your spelling 'Reece' ?

TipOfTheSlung · 11/10/2011 09:30

Meant to say why
Both Reese and Morgan can sound female (though I think it's Reece as in witherspoon)
Morgan is actually a male welsh name so by using Rhys which is also male(and welsh) it makes it all sound male.
Ii didn't explain that very well but I hope you can understand what I mean

The original Welsh spelling of Rhys is much nicer, Reese is the female form is it not? There's also ReeceSmile

I prefer Flynn, but not with Aaron, I feel it needs a longer mn in order to flow, for example Flynn Alexander.

Morgan is unisex I feel, too surnamey for me though!

I'd go with Flynn, it's lovelySmile

I like Flynn!

Both nice and not overused - Flynn is a refreshing alternative to Finn, and Rhys/Reese is nice too (don't know any, male or female).

I'd definitely go with Flynn! Don't like the other options, sorry.

BestisWest · 12/10/2011 19:14

Rhys or Rees, don't like it with an 'e'. Like Flynn too.

RitaMorgan · 12/10/2011 19:17

Prefer Flynn to Reese, but if you go with Reese I'd spell it properly.

DEFINITELY Flynn Aaron.
Reese Morgan screams 'naughty' to me.
