For a boy
Surname is long so a short name is needed

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

We know an adult Lex & he's a genuinely lovely, clever & very cool guy. It's a great name too. Go for it

@EishetChayil there's plenty of Rex's around and I've never heard anyone confuse it for "sex" Confused

You’ve just broken a fucking NIGHTMARE I’ve spent almost half a decade trying to forget.

At toddler group with my eldest there was a little boy called Rex. His mum used to make him do the ‘sexy rexy’ in front of her friends and he would do a thrusting shimmy dance as she chanted ‘go rexy you’re so sexy’ whilst looking around to see who was watching.

I need to go and bathe in bleach again to rid the memory from my body 🤢

Sorry my first instinct was the baddie from superman too. Why not something traditional eg James?

@Arethechildreninbedyet - I have no words 😳🤮

I really like it, OP, though I'd assume that it was short for Alexander. I like all the Alexy names.

First thought - Lex Luthor, second thought NN for Alex/Alexander?
Probably would go with a longer version and use Lex as a NN :)
