What do you call a baby with a seagull on his head?

Don't like either, TBH. Cliff is for old men. Rex is for dinosaurs....

I actually know a Clifford. It may not be fashionable for babies at the moment but is a nice solid name imo.
Don't like Rex at all, sorry. Sounds so short and harsh.

I like Clifford, with Cliff for a nickname.

I think Cliff is much better than Rex.

Rex sounds so much more like a dog or a dinosaur than a human.

I think Rex is better out if the two.

I adore the name Rex. Adore it.

Cliff is horrendous though, polyester trousers, sideburns, 'campari for the lady?'

Think they are both awful but Cliff is a bit like Geoff and Geoff at my school (aged 12) wants to change his name as he gets teased for it.

Don't really like either Cliff or Rex. Rex reminds me of a dog's name. Cliff makes me think of Cliff Richard.

I can't believe it took 16 posts for someone to say 'Richard'!!

Cliff??!! Seriously Confused Bloody awful.

Rex sounds like a dogs name although I'm not sure that I don't like it. Smile
