I live in the
UK and I know a few guys/boys called
Rhys. In my experience, people don't pronounce it wrong very often. You should move here :P
I think it's fair enough for people to get it wrong first time, if they've never seen the name, but you would think they'd try to get it right after you corrected them - I think that is really rude!
I think the reason why people think it's a girls name is because of Reese/Reece sometimes being used as a girls' name, such as
Reese Witherspoon.
I personally think
Rhys is a great boys name :)
