I cannot believe there are people who haven't heard that name. And lol at the poster who said it's the "boy spelling of Reece." I can't even with these people.
I'm with PP on it possibly being regional. Have never ever met a Rhys, and would guess it's pronounced like Rise.
Re: Boy names are tough. Please help!
People will likely mispronounce Rhys but it's a MN so that won't come up often.
You're missing out! Missing out, I say!
This is Rhys Ifans:
Also fairly well known for his roles in Notting Hill, Spider Man, The Five Year Engagement and a host of other movies and television shows.
