I know it sounds like the name of a German Shepherd but now that Max is making a comeback I find Rex rather appealing. I also love its meaning.

So wdyt of Rex for a boy?

I have Rex in the middle of two different combos. I like Rex very much and have never known a dog named Rex. It doesn't stop folks from using Lucy, does it? I don't buy "dog" with Rex. I think of Rex Harrison (who admittedly, used Rex as a nickname).

I love the name Rex. I find it quite handsome for a guy.

Rex is a GP name for me. I have many associations with the name, so I don't really see it as a dog name.

Eh, its more of a dog's name, IMHO.

I only see a dog when I hear Rex.

It has a great meaning, but I can't get over the dog thing.

I'd rather see a little Rex than some tryndee name any day, though!

I love Rex.

It's definitely in my top boys names.
Max is fine, too. but I like Rex much better.

That's exactly what I think of, a German Shepherd and then the character from Desperate Housewives. I can't really see it on a person because it's such a dog name to me.

Its kind of a GP to me. It still sounds kind of canine. Maybe Rexford would be better as a name.

It's a nice name, but I'm having trouble fitting it any where either on a person or as part of a name.
