Pronunciation help please!

How would you pronounce Recs?

[UriGeller]

You mean Rex?

[Didanyoneordermeaplaincheese]

Is that what you'd instantly think it was Uri?

[addictedtosugar]

Yep, Rex here too.

Are you thinking Rees as a pronunciation?

[UriGeller]

Yes, Have you got another way to pronounce it?

[Didanyoneordermeaplaincheese]

Maybe I won't say just yet incase I influence any replies!

[Martorana]

Rex. But don't. Just........don't.

[Bowlersarm]

Wrecks rather than Rex

[Didanyoneordermeaplaincheese]

Martorana - no to Recs or no to Rex? ...or both?! Lol!

[Martorana]

Rex is fine. If a little on the Fido continuum. Recs is just silly.

[fideline]

Makes me think Recs as in recreation grounds.

Would have to be pronounced as Rex/wrecks anyhow.

Curious now whether you're attempting an avant garde spelling of Rhys/Reece.

Or is this someone elses child?

[RiverTam]

Rex.

Recs is short for recreation grounds.

[CadleCrap]

I would say Rex.


At a REAL push I could manage Reeks

[squoosh]

Rex.

Recs doesn't look like a real name, it looks like an abbreviation for 'recommendations' or 'recreation'.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Recs isnt a real name, surely? id think you had mis spelled Rex.

Rex, btw, is a marvellous name.

[Beanymonster]

I'd have thought there was a typo for Rex, tbh.

[florascotia]

However you pronounce it, in English, its in the plural form. One Rec, two Recs, three Recs... etc. I'm not sure why anyone would want to give a single child a plural name.

Also, the term RECS is in very common use in the energy industry and among environmental businesses/campaigns. It stands for for Renewable Egergy Certificates. There is even an interntional RECS organisation www.recs.org/.With energy price concerns/global warming worries/environmental education etc, a child with that name might feel a little strange.

[UriGeller]

If it IS another way to spell 'Rex' you could really let yourself go and spell it
'WRh'ekkkz'.

[Morgause]

For god's sake don't give your child a spelling mistake for a name - he will be teased.

[NigellasDealer]

Recs? is he a cousin of Dai Brainbocs?

[bouncingbelle]

Rex

Or, at a push, reh-see-s?

[ouryve]

If you're having to ask for your own child, then everyone else who encounters the child is going to have the same difficulty, so just don't.

[NigellasDealer]

it would only work in country with a language that has no X - so that would be Wales or Poland AFAIK, correct me if I am wrong!

[Yangsun]

Perhaps Wretch? Not what I would read at first glance but probably my second guess if it's not Rex, nor a great name for a child though!!

[MrsBungle]

Recs just seems a misspelling of Rex to me.
