Resse vs. Reese

I really like Reese/Resse for a boy. I like the Reese spelling best but when I was watching Malcom in the middle I noticed the older brother was Resse spelt this way. Which spelling should I use? Should I use the original or Resse? The only thing is it looks like Jesse do you think it may be pronounced R-ess-ee sometimes? Thanks

I like Reese better than Resse. if you wanted you could always go with Rhys too. thats how the actor from The Toudors spells it.

I would definitely use Reese. Resse is a horrible spelling and will be pronounced wrong. Could also do Reece, or Rhys, or Ries..GL!

Reese is the proper anglicized version of the Welsh name Rhys.

Resse is just impractical. The only reason the name works on Malcolm in the Middle is that it’s a show. Resse is a horrible name to walk around life with.

I have a guy named Reese at my work. When i first heard his name.. i never liked it. Just not masculine enough

I don’t see how it’s feminine. Just because Reese witherspoon? It’s a last name not her name. I saw it on the episode last night the sign his parents held at the wrestling match.

Oh, goodness-what is the matter with this site?

The masculine spelling of Reese is Rhys.

Very classy and handsome-there ’ya go.

Resse is like Jesse with an R. Spell it Rhys for a boy and Reese for a girl.
