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?

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

I love it.

IoraRua · 10/01/2016 22:29

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

HeffalumpTrap · 10/01/2016 22:29

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

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

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 22:30

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

Hendrix as in Jimmy, not the Gin! Smile

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

Won't he be called Hen?

SixtyFootDoll · 10/01/2016 22:32

Awful

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 22:33

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

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

MaisieDotes · 10/01/2016 22:36

Why not just call him Rex?

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 22:36

I bloody knew it was cool Hassled! Grin

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 · 10/01/2016 22:40

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

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 22:41

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

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!

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?' Grin

SwedishEdith · 10/01/2016 22:46

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

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 22:50

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. Grin

I like it.

zippyswife · 10/01/2016 22:58

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

Georgeofthejungle · 10/01/2016 23:03

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! Smile
