Rex?

[DaisyBug1212]

Im searching mumsnet looking for a boys name that's unusual and appeals to me and im no coming back with a great deal, lots of girls names though!

Anyway me and OH both really like Rex, i think its going to be either marmite or ppl will just outright not like it, but i'm curious sooooooo do you hate it?

Im expecting lots of it sounds like a dogs name comments!

Not really sorry, sounds like an ageing lothario to me. Or a German Shepherd.

What's wrong with ageing lotharios? They're ace! Better that than an ageing member of the Neighbourhood Watch committee.

Bruno is my second favourite name, but I may need to rethink that.

Love it

lighthousekeeping my two grandfathers were named Rex and Felix!!!!!!!

Changing one letter, I really liked Ren for a boy. We had a girl though!

Love it

Yep, dogs name. How about Lex, or Calix?

Makes me think of toy story and the car my best friend named Rex after toy story.

I liked Rex though

Apparently max and Charlie are the most popular dogs names. Rex isn't even in the top 10.

I think it's really cool, go for it :)

I love it.
My ds has a dogs name (Buddy).
My dog has a people name (I know 4 kids under 4 with my dogs name).
I also love Marmite
If you dont use it you will spend hes babyhood casually mentioning that you were going to call him Rex at every group you go to when the subject of names comes up, and every time you meet another Felix/ Max whatever you will feel a little bit curious how cool your Rex would have been.

I really like Blake as well. And Kit. There's loads of ace boys names. I love Rex though.

Rex is great! I wouldn't worry about it being a dogs name, like someone else said, there's far more dogs called Charlie etc. I have an uncle Rex (late 60's) and he is wonderful.

Another vote for Rex - great name!

Sorry, thats a dog name

For those who say its a dogs name I'd be interested to know if you know of any dogs called Rex? My dog played with Jasper, Trevor, Ben, Buttons and Socks but never a Rex. Rufus and Rover are traditional pet names too but I've never known any animals with those names either.

Didn't Fearne Cotton call her little boy Rex?

I love it, on my list for dc3.

Rex was THE name I wanted for ds1 - I love it. Dh vetoed it.

Baby Rex = so so cute
Teenager Rex = cool
adult Rex = leader

However I'm kind of glad I didn't call him Rex for the toddler years as that would equal fighty, aggressive and the child everyone knows the name of

Rex is a cool name!
same for Lex, kit & Ren (all on my boys list)

yeah its the name of fearne cottons son and also will champion from coldplays son. i think i might just go with it! ...... baby will be a girl now!

I would think you were talking about a dinosaur
