Alternatives to Rex

[Wheresthattoo]

So, I have an issue! We have a while to go, but Dsis has just had a Rex and that was the only boys name we'd agreed on and now it's completely out. Luckily we hadn't discussed names (agreed not too just in case of this scenario), but I'm now in a bit of a panic.

Current alternatives are:
Arlo (my second favourite, DH hates)
Leo (DH's favourite, I like, but sounds stupid with our surname)
Theo (I like, DH thinks it's too posh)

Can you lovely ladies please suggest something that we might be able to agree on, please?

What paper do you read, op? That might help.

Ditto your partner, of course 😊

I love Rex! I'd be gutted if that happened to me. Maybe ask your sister for her shortlist since you have similar taste.

Spike
Digby
Felix
Caspar
Dexter
Otto
Otis
Milo

Op you have nearly exactly the same list as us. I love Rex too. Have you and your DH considered any of these names;

Hendrix
Reuben
Ezra

Also, I like Dexter as pp have suggested and I know a little boy with the name. It often gets shortened to Dex.

It was mentioned on the last page, but I know someone with Dax as a middle and I've always kind of loved it since hearing it.

What about Milo, Hugo, Levi, Tate, Zane, Ace, Jax, Asa, Enzo, Nate?

Theo is crazily popular at the moment(along with Toby and Teddy!), which may mean it will lose its "posh" association as everyone seems to be using it.

I prefer Leo - quite a few, but a lovely, soft-sounding name!

Leon is edgier and less popular

Louis is great, and not many around

Other suggestions which seem to be neither old man names nor classic names:

Kit
Casper/Jasper
Elliott
Morgan
Rowan
Ferdy (Ferdinand)

Good Luck choosing!

Our eldest is Rex, for number 2 we considered (well I did, DH just vetoed):

Magnus
Otto
Wilfred
Xavier
Casper
Everett

In fact you could shorten Everett to Rhett!
