Rex Idris or Idris Rex?

[bamboozledAardvark]

DS is here, we love both names but he doesn't look like either! Which way round do you prefer?

Idris Rex :) Congratulations!

Idris Rex

Rex....

Rex!

Adore this name.

Idris Rex. Fantastic name.

Idris.

Idris Elba is one of the sexiest men ever born. Not relevant, but always worth mentioning

what does idris mean?

Idris Rex. Unless your surname begins with an A. Congratulations, great names.

Rex Idris rolls off the tongue a little better I think - lovely names and congratulations!

oh yes, i see now what idris means! squoosh i agree!

Rex Idris sounds better together but I prefer the name Idris (more adaptable, grown-up sounding, and will be a better name for him than Rex as both a boy and an adult) so for that reason, I suggest going with Idris Rex.

Idris is a lovely name - classic, underused and solid sounding. Rex sounds a little nicknamey to my (and is the name of our neighbour's german shepherd ).

Rex. Love it

You rarely use the middle name, so choose the first name that you love more and that goes best with your surname.

I think Idris is a gorgeous, classic, underused name!

Idris Rex. Gorgeous name :) Congratulations btw!

Rex is much nicer.

Congratulations. I think Idris is a lovely name! So Idris Rex gets my vote.

Idris. Very stylish.

Thanks for the replies! Sadly hiding one away in the middle is the only way to get the names in as we won't be having any more DC :( I'm so torn, I think we may just keep calling him a mixture of both for a few days and then see which one fits!

Idris Rex sounds lovely-it really flows

DS is now neither Rex nor Idris. DH suggested Levi the other evening and it's just stuck! So I think we've now decided on Levi Rex!

Levi is lovely! Congratulations.
