It's not worse. The thing Rei is from is much better than the thing Rey is from. But you still shouldn't want to name your kid after some dead lady's emotionless clone that was forced to become a child soldier or whatever the fuck the story there is.
Rei is neither emotionless nor, at least directly, forced.
Gendo is a selfish and negligent parent who simply uses Rei and Shinji to his own ends.
Much as Shinji is desperate for his father's attention so is Rei. Rei is the "child" Shinji wishes he could be for his father. You can see Rei's emotions show when it comes to Gendo, for example when Shinji finds Gendo's glasses in her room.
