My Thoughts

I think Reed is a short sweet name. A few years ago I had it on my girl name list because I heard it on a girl and feel in love. Now I much prefer it on a boy. I like surnames and Reed is a pretty common surname. I did find that it was easier to find first names for Reed than middle names. I do think it works better as a middle name.
