Should I call my baby Mason Or Rhys?

[APeakyBlinder]

Love Rhys!! I'm not sure how previous posters can say these names are for naughty children, I know several Rhys' and 2 Masons and all are lovely- extremely harsh to label a name naughty IMO

[Butterfly005]

I prefer Rhys much more

[Petrichor11]

Rhys but I’m biased as I live in wales and know several, posters outside Wales May view it differently

[user1493494961]

Have you got a third choice?

[ItsWitchingTime]

I have a Rhys, I'm neither Welsh nor live in Wales and he's not a 'naughty' boy either.

It's a lovely name

[Tillygetsit]

Oh god the 'naughty boy" chestnut again.

[Astronica]

I love Rhys and I'm another who is neither Welsh nor live in Wales. I dislike Mason.

[Valkarie]

Really love Rhys

[MrsNoMopp]

I prefer Mason. Not keen on Rhys.

[Aprillygirl]

Definitely Rhys.

[AlliKaneErikson]

Rhys. I know of plenty of boys outside Wales called Rhys, with this spelling too.

[DogAndCatPerson]

Rhys

[PetraRabbit]

Rhys without a doubt!

[Hippywannabe]

I have a gorgeous grandson called Mason. He is fab!

[MikeUniformMike]

Rhys if you're Welsh. Otherwise look for another name.

[5LeafClover]

Rhys

[sue51]

Rhys is a good name. I'm not keen on surnames used as first names so a no to Mason.

[elp30]

I have a Rhys for a nephew and Mason for a grandson so I like both names. But I prefer Mason.

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Mason is my ds name so obviously I love it.Hes not a naughty boy either!

[Powderperfume]

Loving all the post telling you you have to be Welsh to name a kid rhys
Didn't realise MN was full of name police.

As someone who IS Welsh I wouldn't ever be offended or upset if someone who isn't Welsh to name their child with a Welsh name. So what?!

Why would any one care?

I'd definitely go with Rhys

[daisypond]

Rhys, by miles. And you don’t have to be Welsh. And don’t spell it Reece or Reese.

[MikeUniformMike]

I said if you are Welsh, because the Welsh name is great but I don't like the Reece pronunciation.

If she had asked Rees or Mason, I'd have said Rees.

I think that it's a bit naff to use a name from a different language or culture.

[Shoutymomma]

Rhys only if Welsh and esp if ginger.
The only Masons I know put me right off.

[Frith2013]

Mason is someone who carves stone. Or a type of jar.

So I’d go for Rhys.

[Happyhusband]

Rhys. Far better than Kaedyn....!
