  • Of the two I would definitely use Reeve.  Think about what Reeves would sound like in the singular possessive form.  There would forever be the debate about Reeves' v. Reeves's too.

    Good point on the future singular/possessive issues :) I'm not even pg yet...just a name I came across and thought it was different but not weird.

  • Because I can't think of any real nns for Reeve, I think I would use it as a mn.
  • I don't like it either, sorry. I know someone with the last name Reeves too, so they both just sound too much like last names to me.
  • Reeve. I like it. It's different.
  • Of the two, I'd choose Reeve, although it's nms. 

    Reeves to me sounds like a butler's name!

  • I guess I'd go with Reeves over Reeve, but they're both made up to me.
  • not a fan of either....sorry
  • IMO Reeve is definitely better than Reeves (that makes me think of the stereotypical "Jeeves the Butler"), but I think it makes a better mn than fn.

  • Neither, but if i had to choose Reeve, def def def def not Reeves
  • Reeves is my son's middle name and is a family name so I love it. I don't think we would have used it for a first name but I love it with his first name.
