Hendrix - cool or am I hormonal?

[Georgeofthejungle]

My partner and I have been batting names back and forth for aaaages and tonight have come up with Hendrix for a boy. Rex for short and T-Rex just to be super cool.

Thoughts?

[Wolfiefan]

Are you on drugs?

[Hassled]

It's the glue talking. You'll feel better in the morning.

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

I love it.

[IoraRua]

T-Rex....only if you bring him to Asda op!

[HeffalumpTrap]

I'd think you'd been on the Hendricks... But as I always say if you and the father are in love with it then there are worse names you could choose.

Hormones

[PinkSquash]

I know a Hendrix. It's not a name I choose, it sounds too harsh.

[Georgeofthejungle]

Hahaha! Thanks guys. I won't tell my partner - it'll break his heart.

Hendrix as in Jimmy, not the Gin!

We live in a farming community - small town Scotland. He'll be going to school with Alec's and Jimmys! Would def stand out!

[SwedishEdith]

Won't he be called Hen?

[SixtyFootDoll]

Awful

[Georgeofthejungle]

Swedish - I guess you could but Rex is much cooler than Hen.. :)

[Hassled]

Actually it's growing on me. It is cool, dammit.

[MaisieDotes]

Why not just call him Rex?

[Georgeofthejungle]

I bloody knew it was cool Hassled!

[Ludways]

I like it and I normally hate non traditional names.

However, if you're saying Hendrix as in the musician you should actually learn it is Jimi Hendrix and not Jimmy, that'd definitely be uncool, lol

[grubbyslippers]

Love Hendrix, Hen or Rix for short - good choice!

[Georgeofthejungle]

It's my partner that likes him Ludways - he knows how to spell it so we are all good.

I like a longer name that can be shortened Maisie. And also like names with an X in. Maybe that's the hormones too. Plus I just think it's really cool!

[banff82]

Definitely hormonal! Wouldn't it be Rix rather than Rex anyway? How do you get Rex from Hendrix? Although as you're in Scotland it's more likely to be 'y'awright Hen?'

[SwedishEdith]

Well, quite re Scotland and Hen. Why not just go for Jimi?

[Georgeofthejungle]

Don't like Jimi Swedish. Plus we have a chicken called Jimmy (named after an old man that used to live in our house before we bought it).

Well Rex is from Rix which is from Hendrix. So a distant relation but just think Rex is cooler than Rix.

And let's not forget T-REX?! Hello!? Super cool.

[Provencalroseparadox]

I like it a lot.

[Shizzy]

I like it.

[zippyswife]

I love it. But I can't imagine any child of mine being cool
Enough to pull it off.

[Georgeofthejungle]

Lol Zippy! Could possibly be in the same boat but I think they'd have a head start - people will just assume coolness with a name like that. Maybe!
