I stopped myself cattily telling my Mum, who suggests Roxanna for a girl or Rex for a boy, that I wanted to name my child after neither a Mills and Boonesque stripper nor a dog. :-D

I am struggling to think of boys names though. SO much harder than girls. they seem either very run-of-the-mill of totally whacky whilst I want something more in between.

Squoosh Grin R & X not compulsory, though it could help the indecision if I narrowed things down like that!
I expect if I named a son Rex it would be no time at all before I could imagine him called nothing else, however, I have a dog and meet many other dog owners all the time, I know 2 dogs called Rex!
My lovely mum was being helpful and getting swept along with her latest TV drama no doubt, she lives her TV dramas. :)

Gregor/Greig/Gregory seems to be a theme... it could grow on me. I think I quite like that.

Girls-wise we have shortlisted:

Cerys
Natasha
Philippa

I'm with your Mum, I love Rex Grin

I'm presuming you didn't stipulate that the name must contain R and X?
