How would you pronounce Recs?

Rex.

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

CadleCrap · 14/04/2014 12:05

I would say Rex.

At a REAL push I could manage Reeks

RiverTam · 14/04/2014 12:03

Rex.

Recs is short for recreation grounds.

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?

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

Yes, Have you got another way to pronounce it?

addictedtosugar · 14/04/2014 11:35

Yep, Rex here too.

Are you thinking Rees as a pronunciation?

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