I Have A Funny Question

[Marcus Momma]

Ok I told you all I was going to name my new son Nathan Layne Wolfe. I need some help on this one. I just figured out he is a ball of craziness when I eat a reese cup. He won't stop moving and kicking. So I was Thinking of changing the name to Nathan Reese Wolfe. But you wouldn't say it the same way as Reese cups. I can't figure out the spelling for that one but I would love to nickname him reese cup of how he acts when I eat one. Its so funny!!

I LOVE that idea!!! Reese is a great name anyway . . . and the meaning of the name is: Enthusiasm!!!! It kinda makes sense!!

Spelling wise, Reese is the right way to spell it . . . the candy is actually, Reese's . . .

Great idea!!!

[Lacey Canaday]

I think Reese is a cute name,,,,even better for a boy. I do not think that is a bad thing. I named my girls from shows that i watched while i was prego. not to add that "where the heart is" book,,,her friend named all her kids after her favorite snack foods.....BAByruth.... you are not going that far.lol

[Vicki]

Lacey . . .
My niece was named after Erica Kane on All My Children . . .lol

[Kirk Kief]

When my youngest sister was born (I was 4), I wanted Mom and Dad to name her Pinky Lee (Did I just age myself?). I got half of my wish, Her name is Kathy Lee.

[Christine Barrack]

Reese is cute. Love that it has a special meaning to you.
BTW, my cousin named her son Reese also.

[Marcus Momma]

thanks! I think the erica kane thing is funny. Because I really thought about naming my baby if it was a girl either Adraina from one life to live or Carly from general hospital!!! He otta be kicking here in a min I just ate another one!LOL!

[JenniferBrown]

I love the Reese name and the meaning behind it!!! Sooo cute! You can call him your 'pnut butter cuppie' hehehe

[efswsjuly17]

Adorable name!! I am sure the name will fit him when he arrives. You know what they say also, whatever you crave when you are pregnant is usually something that child will like too. So one day you will be able to enjoy a Reese's together. BTW my oldest son's name is Laine too small world huh!!!

[Marcus Momma]

All I really ate with my daughter was mashed potatoes and roast beef sandwichs from arbys and she loves both of them.

[Vicki]

Well thank goodness that you didn't name your daughter Arby!!! :p

[MrsSpencer]

My favorite uncle's name is Reese...I love that name :)

[Candice]

I think that is a precious idea!!!! And it is a special story and memory to share with him!

[Marcus Momma]

The Arby thing was kinda close I nicknamed her Aly! But that was after a woman off the news station from around here and I liked the name!LOL! Thanks everyone for letting me know what u think. You all are important to me and your ideas and opinions. I just can't wait until these months roll by so I can hold him.

[motherofthree]

Love it! Great idea - and Reese (pronounced rees nont reesee?) sounds sophisticated, and it would be a reminder of your beautiful pregnancy!

Wow, I didn't know that there are so many boy's named Reese out there. I only know of one Reese and she is a girl. But I guess that name could be a boy or girl name. Anyway, I like the idea of you naming his middle name that. Very cute and appropriate!!! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

[Marcus Momma]

thanks I don't guess I ever payed attention to how it was spelled on the reese's cups I just wanted to eat them not read them!LOL! I don't know anyone named Reese but now I do!!

[Marcus Momma]

Well thanks girls and guys for the help I think it Reese for sure now. Justing waiting on my lil Nathan Reese Wolfe to get here safe and healthy now.

[momma to 2+ an angel]

what about spelling it Rhys... I think that is the Gaelic version -

Rhys is a surname or (usually male) given name that translates to the word Ardour, meaning Eagerness, Love and Passion. It also exists in the Anglicised forms Rice, Rees, Reese and Reece.

[Cheryl Haggard]

You could also spell it Reace, Riece, Reice, or Rease. Start a new trend...

I like Nathan Rease, with the a's...Just my 2cents...

[Marcus Momma]

If I spelled it different that would be funny to watch people try to say it!LOL! I might think about that one now. I like having different spellings my daugthers name is spelled alexess

[Kirk Kief]

Just keep in mind that when you spell a name differently, that child now will go through the rest of their lives always having to explain how their name is spelled. While my name is not necessarily spelled different, but, the common spelling on mine is Curt. One does get tired, after awhile, to the constant corrections. Just food for thought.

[Vicki]

Curt? But your name doesn't even in in a 'T' . . . hmmm . . .

[Kirk Kief]

But, that's the rub. Most people spell it Curt, and I have to correct them to Kirk.
In this particular thread, the popular spelling of Reese is 'Reese'. If it were spelled differently, say to 'Rease', then that child will, for the rest of their life, will be correcting people as to the correct spelling of their name.
Actually, even your name. The popular spelling is Vicky, how often are you needing to correct people.

[Marcus Momma]

my name is spelled different and I always have to correct people its spelled shawnna instead of shawna or shauna the most common ways.
