Co-worker's baby name

[bekahbaby.livejournal.com]

I just responded to a post about the name Reese, but thought I'd make a separate post in case my comment isn't seen.

The associate at my work just had a baby girl in February. They named her Reese Jennifer. They chose the name Reese because they've heard other little girls with that name and like it. They chose Jennifer because the associate's sister's name is Jennifer and they wanted to honor her.

Personally, I don't like the combination Reese Jennifer. It doesn't flow well together. I also don't like either of those names. Reese just reminds me of the candy Reese's Pieces.

What are your thoughts?

I like it, actually. But, I prefer Reese spelled Rhys and on a boy.

ETA: My son's name is Rhys. When he was born, my BIL brought him a package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. We have a picture of Rhys, about 12 hours old, with a bright orange PBC package clasped in his hand.
