Re: Boy Names *Clicky Poll

  • I voted for Maximus Rex...but something about it throws me. I like Maximus and Max. Maybe Max Rex is a bit much though. I love Liam and Wyatt but not with Rex.

  • Rex is a bold name. My DH loves the Maximus Rex, and we'd definitely call him Max... but, I'm concerned it's just too much.

    It's a little out of our style to have something so flashy. We're pretty traditional, Mason Christopher being our son's name. 

    If this baby is a girl we'll be naming her Meredith Jane, after grandmothers. 

    Like I said, traditional. 

    Thank you for your opinions! I'm not liking Liam and Wyatt with Rex after staring at it for a while. Asher is still on the table for us as I really like how it sounds with our last name and it has great Biblical meaning.

  • Great bias toward James here.

    My DS, my beloved, late dad...and in my opinion a timeless classic of a name. :)

  • I voted for James because I think it works best with Rex.
    I love Max but short for Maxwell; Maximus is too over the top for me.

  • Something about Maximus Rex- the 3-syllable cadence of it plus the ending in S- makes me want to say Oedipus Rex. I don't really like the two names together, although I do like Max. 

    Rex is such a bold choice I like it best paired with something more traditional, like James.

  • I think with something as bold as Rex that you should stick with a simpler FN therefore I chose James.

  • Max is my favorite of your first name choices, but I don't think it works with Rex.

    I voted for James.

  • I like Asher or James. Maximus Rex seems like a really big name and I don't care for Max Rex. Maybe I'd like Maxwell better?

  • I voted James Rex. I think James is a very nice name and sounds the best with the mn Rex. I would have voted for Max, but I don't like the name paired with Rex. I love the name Max, though!
  • Love Maximus, hate it with Rex. Too many Xs.

    All of this! 

    I didn't originally see the Oedipus correlation, but now that someone pointed it out I'd stay away from that one.  A couple years ago I had a friend who used Rex as a middle name paired with Elliott and I thought it flowed really well, so maybe stick with 3 syllables on the first name, just not Greek ones?

  • IMO Liam Rex has the best flow, James would be 2nd

    Max Rex isn't good at all

  • I love the name Wyatt!!

  • Maximus Rex is a little too ancient Greek for me.  It brings to mind a great tyrant, or possibly a cartoon character or a super hero.
  • I voted for James because I think it makes the best "set" with Mason. I also really like Asher and Liam. Max is a cute NN and Wyatt is OK :)
