What do you think of it? I think it's cute for a baby but also masculine for a grown man.

NavyandWhite I would absolutely put Rex with Fido, Spot, Patch etc. That's where it goes. It does not belong with the human names you listed first.

Great name. I don't get the 'dog name' thing. Surely it's a dinosaur name - v cool!

chipsnmayo · 25/04/2017 03:43

I really like it.

My first thought was Rex from Toy Story! I like it, probably wouldn't be brave enough to use it myself though Grin

Woof!

My son is Rex. In his nearly-seven years I've never met a dog called Rex. I have met dogs and children called Michael, Sam, Holly, Milo, Lola (several) and Zack, but never a dog called Rex.

only thing is his buddies call him Rexy and I can see him bring called Sexy Rexy in five years

I love it

SpreadYourHappiness · 25/04/2017 00:21

Rex is a dog's name. I think it would be cruel to call a child that.

Buntysoven · 25/04/2017 00:15

It's a great name.

fessmess · 24/04/2017 23:35

Dog name.

SuperBeagle · 24/04/2017 23:34

Hate it.

I also think it's a dogs name, like Fido.

I like Rex!
Mind you according to some MN posters some of my DCs names are dog's names Hmm

chocolatespiders · 24/04/2017 22:24

befuddledgardener · 24/04/2017 22:08

I wanted this name

Mrsknackered · 24/04/2017 22:08

I know lots of dogs called Poppy, still lots of non-dogs around called Poppy.

Tanfastic · 24/04/2017 22:08

I love it!

Mrsknackered · 24/04/2017 22:07
