I'm not a fan. It just doesn't seem like an actual name to me, hard to picture someone with this name. I really don't like the spelling, much prefer Reed. It makes me think of a jock in HS. I love your DS's name though!
I like it. It was on our long list for DS1. We ended up scratching it because we thought it sounded a little mature for a little kid. The only association I have with it is from Fantastic 4.
I really liked this name when deciding what to name our DS. What made me scratch it was the fact that it's a daily word. Also, DH pointed out there's room for teasing if he isn't so good at reading... As a teacher, that had me convinced! Just some food for thought.
Wow, everyone! Thanks! I think we have a winner! DH is pretty much on board, and this is the first time I've felt really good about another boy name! So excited!
DS is Reed so obviously I love it but don't name your son it. I do not want his name to become popular. ;Owen was on our list for this one but its gotten really popular.
I love it! I wish we could use it, but our LN begins with R and it doesn't sound right. I also love Owen though too and that's on our consideration list.

My older brother's name is Reed. I've always loved his name.

I always liked the name Reid for a boy
I would prefer Reed--Reid looks weird to me.
