What do you think of it? I think it's cute for a baby but also masculine for a grown man.

Don't like it sorry. It reminds me of those bald cats.

I rather like it! Well, unless you already have a Rufus, then it'd be a stap to far.

We had Rex picked out as the 'other' name for DS if his didn't suit him. I think it's a great name.

Hate it.

I also think it's a dogs name, like Fido.

Dog name.

It's a great name.

Rex is a dog's name. I think it would be cruel to call a child that.
