Thomas Rex - yay or nay?

[WhatTheWhat]

Thomas because we like it and Rex as it was my father's and grandfather's names.
Shortens to T-Rex, so either cool (dinosaur) or not cool (ageing rock group), or baking hot (Trex lard).
Hmmmm.

I like Rex but know three of them.

I really liked the name Rex (husband said no!) but agree with two points made: T-Rex thing is a bit dodgy and Rex after something else sounds like a King. But this is the same whether you choose Thomas, David or anything.

Rex Thomas did sound a nice alternative. If you don't want to use Rex on a daily basis plenty of people do use their middle names.

Dastardly - no!!!? Really???

I seriously thought that Rex as a first name was going way off acceptable territory, but perhaps I will think again!

Good point re using middle names...

Great name. I like a family link.
