Reed

Thoughts on Reed as a girl's name?

Heard it on Grey's Anatomy and loved it.

Strictly boy, for me.

it's my female friend's middle name, so I could see it as a middle name.

I don't mind Reed for a girl. Reid is still strictly male in my mind but the Reed spelling seems sort of like Sage or Rowan, can go both ways.

isn't Reed a last name on grey's?

I've actually met a female Reed. Not sure about I feel about it.

I love Reed as a boy's name and would definitely consider using it except it goes horribly with our last name that begins with D. I don't think it sounds like a girl's name at all.

I like it better as a girl's name actually

I also like it better as a girls' name, but as someone mentioned above, primarily with that spelling. As Reid, it strikes me as more masculine.

I...really don't like it. It will always be a boy's name for me.

It makes me think of Reid from Criminal Minds. ♥
(It's actually his last name, though.)

I gotta say, I love it!! Sure, it's unusual, but something about it just makes me like it. I'm having a girl and I've considered it, but i know my husband would really like it.. But I do like it.

I know a girl named Reade, not my fave however it's spelled, but not bad.
