opinions?

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

I like both of these names and have them both on my list of possible boys names. BUT...they're way too much alike, so I'm trying to decide which I like better, and I thought I'd get some opinions.

What do you think? REEVE or REED/REID? Like them? Hate them? And if you like one more than the other, why?

I like Reed/Reid better, although I'm not quite sure why. Reeve reminds me of Christopher Reeves, I guess, and I'm not really a fan of his. Reed has that musical quality to it, which is nice.

I like Reid better, although neither really appeals to me. Reid sounds like a first name, while Reeve sounds *way* too much like a last name. The first image that comes to mind is Christopher Reeve, and while that's not a bad person to have come to mind when you hear a name, it still sounds too much like a last name to me.

really? i thought completely differently. i know tons of people with the last name "reid," so i like reeve better just because of that (although i don't care all that much for either of them).

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Most last names as first names don't bother me though. Thanks though.

Reid, spelled that way. Makes me think of 24, though...

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've never watched 24. Is it a first name on there or a last name?

[glowing-dragon.livejournal.com]

First name.

[bree019.livejournal.com]

Reed/Reid, definitely.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Reed... spelled like that. Reeve makes me think of Superman!

[desert-dog79.livejournal.com]

I like Reed. I think it is beacause nature-type names appeal to me. :)

Reeve just reminds me of the online username of someone on my friends list. Didn't realise it was an actual name.

Reid is nice, I'm surprised I like it though because I usually hate names that sound like words... but it sounds very smart and dignified.

The name my father goes by is Reid, so I like the name for its comfort factor, and probably for no other reason.

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I don't like either.

My SIL's fiance is named Reeve and everyone is forever calling him Reese. I told him not to feel so bad, it took their grandma 3 years to stop calling me Marilyn (my name is Meredith).

Anywho.. guess my point was I think people garble Eeeve too much? I guess I like names with at least on hard syllable in it, and Reeve Doesn't have one.

I prefer Reid, with that spelling. Although, I must say I don't really care for either. :\

*garble Reeve

[wake-tonight.livejournal.com]

I don't like either of them. I think they both sound too much like last names. If I had to choose, I'd go with Reed/Reid.

[elsh.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[mcmommy.livejournal.com]

I like Reeve just because it is alot less common. :)

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

That's why I like it too. Thanks!

Love Reeve, it's made it onto my favorite guy names list.
Also like Reed.

[sensualquills.livejournal.com]

I like REID because it's pretty to look at and easier for me to say than REEVE.
