Rex, Ray, Reggie, Gerry and Vincent

[Delta987]

Some early mulling over possible names for next year's arrival and I like all of these:

Rex, Ray, Reggie, Gerry, Vincent.

We almost called our son Vincent but that was pipped by George (now ubiquitous!) so it's still a strong contender. I really want something a little different but not weird or different for the sake of it, or too cutesy.

Opinions?

love Ray and Vincent!

I absolutely adore Rex, however it's been vetoed by DH. I know an older Rex and he's a really nice guy, bright, hard working and was clearly a bit of a rocker in his day.

I like Ray (prefer as a nn for Raymond), Gerry (prefer as a nn for Gerard) and Vincent the best.

Haha. They're all pretty awful names, even if you're trying to be ironic and vintage.

They aren't really "different" either. Go down any local pub and the real ale drinking old farts will all have names like that.

The only one I like is Rex.

I did go to school with an absolutely gorgeous Ray but I think it was the fact he was gorgeous that saw him pull it off.

Rex is such a brilliant name. Vincent would be my next choice.

I really dont like any of them. The only Rex i ever met was a ntotal sleaze!

Vincent, Rex and Reggie are all fab.

I don't like any of them except perhaps Gerry. I know a woman who has a kid called Vincent and it just sounds so pompous no matter what she says 'Vincent got some new shoes today'

Is it a line up for Krays:The Musical?

Rex is OK though.

Is it a line up for Krays:The Musical?

This is pretty much what I was thinking.

Also agree Rex is OK.

Ha! No musical line up and not trying to 'be' anything(vintage or otherwise)

I've always liked Vincent since a distant cousin was given the name; Raybecause I love the little kid in Jerry Maguire; Gerry as it's the name of Someone in my favourite band and Gerard Butler hasn't hurt my opinion either; Rex I just like for no particular reason and Reggie I'm just sort of testing out but don't love it.

I love the name Vincent! I nearly chose it but had wrong sex!

Love Vincent! Really don't like Rex and am a bit put off that it means "King"! The others are ok.

Sounds like a boy band from the 60s.

I love Vincent, I was considering it for if my DTs were both boy's. I've come to love it more recently, but I have four kids and it's hard to handle! Vince is a really cute nickname but it ages well.

Great choices. I prefer the names to be different to the top 100 baby names. Give your child a strong identity!!!!!

I don't like any of those, sorry

Sounds like a gangland get together

The only one I like is Rex.

Rex is fab and I think a baby Gerry would be a very cool name for this generation

Rex and Reggie are gorgeous!! Also adore Sid, kit, frankie,

Love Vincent and Rex your name choices are great
My friend and got a Ned? It really suits him

Rex

I love Vincent! Already have a Franklin and think Vinnie is top of the list for the next one.
