Rex

I don't know who posted this name a few days ago, but early this morning I was watching the news and their was a 80 year old man named Rex. I have never heard the name before either and am on a man hunt to find the full name for the NN Rex. Anyone else have any thoughts on what the full name can possibly be? Rex seems too trendy and cool for an 80 year old man, LOL. I was hoping that the news show would post his full name but they didn't. =/ Oh well...

Rex means "king" in Latin.

Without doing any research, I'm 98% certain it's a full name all on its own.

ITA w/PP, it might just be a full name on its own. I've only heard of 2 Rex's & they are in the NFL.

Drexel?  That sounds old manish??

I'm the one who posted about it.

The reason I thought it would be a nn is because of the other childrens names. It was on the show "Downsized" and there are triplets, Rex, Dylan & Whitney and 2 other sisters Danielle & Bailey.

To me Rex doesn't really "go" with the other names so I just assumed it was a nn.

I work with an awesomely cool guy, who is turning 60 next month, whose fn is Rex. Geoworks, he LOVES his name and that it isn't short for anything. Oh, and his license plate is "T Rex". :-)

Tyrannosaur.  That's literally all I hear when someone says this name.

This, or Rexall Drugs, but I still like it.

I like Rex as a stand-alone name!

I know a Rex in his mid 30s, and that is his full name. Just Rex.

I know a Rex in his mid-thirties and he's just Rex.

I just know Rex Grossman, who was the old Bears quarterback.  I guess it's ok, but makes me think of the dinosaur or a dog name.

I went to college with a Rexford, who normally went by his middle name but was jokingly Rex.

I know a Rex but that is his nn/work name. His given name is Theodore. No idea where Rex came from. Oh and he is in his 50's.

I think Dinosaur to when I hear Rex. I just thought I'd share that an old man had the name. =]
