Poor DS2 is 5 weeks and still nameless!

[Anonymousse]

For anyone following the saga, our surname is Cummings and we were going to go with Barnaby (nn Barney) but somehow didn't use it so it hasn't stuck. We still might well go with it but an alternative has popped up - Rex. Similar to Max which we liked but hopefully without sounding rude?

I'd appreciate any honest opinions please!

Rex is really nice. A strong name - I know a young Rex who is a lovely lad.

Ignore any posts with the word "dog" in them (except this one).

We were a bit like this with our DS2. In the end we went for Tom - mainly because we couldn't think of another name we could agree on. Rex is nice. I do know a Rex and he endured a bit of Sezy Rexy daunting as a teen though.

Rex is someone I know plays bowls and is kind but a bit of a damily mial reader and well the younger generation don't know they are born type. Sooo not sure I could agree to rex - sorry

Richard? or Robert, then Bob or Rob?

sexy rexy - sorry!

I beg to disagree ivykaty. To me, Bob would be the DM reader. He'd probably spout sexist rubbish in the club bar after the bowls match.

I'd be worried if he turned into a big lad the name Rex wouldn't be best.. An also think dog. Sorry

Rex is an unimaginative name for a dog, and a truly awful name for a child.

Barney is nice for a dog, but not for a child.

Max is a popular name for dogs and quite a nice name for a child.

I'd go back to the drawing board.

Those are my honest opinions, feel free to disregard them.

I really prefer Barnaby to Rex and i think it goes better with your surmname. To be honest Rex just seems like a dog's name.

I like Thomas and Sebastien too, both would go with Cummings.

Rex is fab AND imaginative. Barney is nice too, but not as good as Rex.

I know of two grown up Rex's and no dogs called Rex. I quite like it. Like Barnaby too but maybe it's a bit cutsie for a grown man so can understand why you had a wobble.

What's your pre-married name? Why not all change your surname to that?!!?

I don't like Rex for a child as I have a v furry Rex sitting on my knee as I type.

I like Barney though.

So best stick with Rob then

Or Zac, Ben, Leo?

Is it a dog or a child?

Charlie Cummings has a good ring to it

I'm not keen on either TBH. How about Dexter - Dex - which is similar to Rex and goes well with your surname?

Ah, but Maryz, you know I'm right. You said so once. (Look at my hoverer)

Rex is fab :)

Ben, (slightly less doggy)...
Yes. Ben was a rat!

Its a brilliant name. Love love love.

(also, when I was younger, I knew 4 dogs called Barney, one called Barnaby and 0 called Rex, so ignore the haters.)

Levi Cummings I think sounds good for a teen boy, an old bible name but so are a lot of other names

YY for Charlie

Rex means "king" in latin (but I'd have to agree I know a few Rex dogs)
