Are these just names for dogs?

Felix is cat food.

Rex is a popular dogs name. Rufus seems popular for both dogs and boys.

Happy Rex Manning day! Sorry, Rex just makes me think of ‘Empire Records’. Cult movie but it sticks.

I like Rufus but I do think it’s quite a posh name. Private school name IMO.

I love Rex. We've chosen it for one of our twins.

Not so keen on Rufus

I was thinking like Rufus Wainwright. Not keen on Rudy etc. We were discussing Felix but that’s a cat isn’t it?

Rufus, like Rufus Wainwright. Love it!

Rex, dog I'm afraid

I really like Rex.

Rufus is a bit harder to pull of but I don't dislike it. Not sure how well it transitions from baby to man though.

What about Rudy and Roman?

I like Rufus. But Rex sounds really harsh. It makes me think of T-rex, a dinosaur GrinBlush

I think dog names, sorry.

I love Rex, I think it means king. Not sure about Rufus though!
