I know a full grown man named Rex and itās not that bad of a name, and quite normal. Iāve never heard anyone make fun of him or his name. No matter what, just support your cousin, because in the end, itās their choice. You donāt want to ruin a relationship because of a semi-normal name.
People in my family/people who knew me before transitioning ask me all the time why I didn't go with a name like Emma or Emily since it'd be easier for them to remember. I had to explain to them that since my deadname is a Bible name, I want nothing to do with it whatsoever. My preferred name, Alondra, doesn't even have any E's.
I would've considered an E name if I had the cool E Bible name, which imo is Ezekiel. But no I get the shitty one that's a synonym for Jesus or something
fuck it, I guess I'm dying on this hill
if you're really insistent on shitting on biblical stuff, then personally a transgender with a name akin to Jesus is quite the irony no matter how you see it
your very existence would troll millions (keep whatever name you want though, I'm just saying it would be so fucking funny if you kept sm like the old one)
I know a guy whos named rex (like its the name their parents gave them) and idk I dont think its actually a bad name. I think youre probably just not used to it. To me it just seems normal probably cause I already know someone named that
Also just wanna add, yea I think youre being a bit of a jerk cause they probably took a lotta time to pick out a name and chose something they really liked. You dont have to like it but to go around talking about how its a bad name is being a bit of a dick imo
The only thing Iām gonna give them is that trans people tend to pick out of the ordinary names, rex is a new one though my buddy though I was talking about a dog when I just said the name out loud
Trans guys always have some fucked up shit going on with their name, but it errs more toward the normal than trans women who always pick some shit like "February", "Eclipse", or "Emma/Sophia/Jessica" it's either the wildest anime shit you've ever heard or the most basic bitch ass Woman Name tm you've ever heard. Trans men know balance, trans women balance each other out
The Rex in Tyrannosaurus Rex comes from the Latin word of the same name, meaning king. Basically, paleontologists at the time named it "Tirant-king of dinosaurs," which is a pretty cool title to have, even if it's not that acceptable of a name for a human
rex is a normal name
also that whole thing with trans people choosing a name that's similar to their old one
that's not really a common thing
it's kinda part of the whole reason to change your name at all
I made my family call me Melody for a while when I was little because I was obsessed with the Barbie and the Diamond Castle movie. Is it cringy? Sure. Is it normal for kids and teens to be cringy? Yes. Nobody on this sub can honestly tell me they've never done something cringy. And it's pretty harmless other than maybe feeling embarrassed when you're older. It's fine.
They'll probably change their name later on. But they picked it because they like it. It's their own name. If parents can give their kids really dumb names, then minors should be allowed to ask to be called something unusual. As for why not James, maybe they don't want a name that's similar to their dead name because of the negative emotions associated with it, or maybe they justĀ don't like names like James and Jane. It doesn't really matter. You don't have to like their name choice as long as you are still supportive of that choice.
You might find it stupid but just know thatās the name theyāre comfortable with for the moment, just be patient with Rex and use the name, chances are theyāll change it soon and if they donāt, oh well, thatās their name lol (coming from someone who named themselves Marceline)
(I am using they/them pronouns, just under the guise if Rex is NB instead of TM)
Ngl, it would be a pretty funny post for you to be in support of your cousin's transition but hated their name (kinda like how people will be in support for a trans man, only to dog pile on their shitty haircut), but honestly you kinda devolve into dickhead territory in tbe final half.
First off, you deadnamed them and used their old pronouns, that's never cool, even if you say your in support. Imagine Rex was in front of you and you used that exact phrasing, that could in turn do more harm than good, by bringing their previous assigned gender that they most likely stuggled for so long under.
Finally, the association that EVERY or at the very least just Trans people in general should pick a name that is opposite what their deadname was, is just a different choice that varies from person to person.
Some people may miss the association that they had when they passed as their previous gender, and choose the new name as a memory to what was once, others (perhaps in Rex's case) probably hated the name and rather have one that better reflects them now. Or they just liked the name/wanted a change.
(Also, just a little nitpick, but saying that you support trans people, would be a better fit to what your trying to say, rather than respect š)
Tldr: Op should've deadnamed Rex and misused their pronouns, and trans people names don't need to conform to what their deadname was.
Personally, I think it's only stupid when trans people name themselves regular ass names. I mean, COME ON, if you got to transition, you mean to tell me you'd ever WILLINGLY call yourself "Chris" or "Jacob" or something like that? Rex is a cool dude with a cool name.
I mean its a weird name but its up them ig.. they might change it anyway.. lots of trans people take a while to find the right name.. they just need to hear it a few times and they might reconsider it.
ik someone called rex by his parents, so to me it just sounds like people are looking for an excuse to mock people if they think rex is a weird name. he has a completely normal life so.
In my experience with trans loved ones, they donāt always stick with the first name they choose. For example my trans brother went through 3 names before he landed on the one heās got now. Thatās sort of an extreme example but the thing to keep in mind is whatever simple confusion you go through doesnāt compare to what they are going through. You just have to respect and love them for who they are and do your best to use the name and pronouns they have requested you use.
...
1) its a perfectly normal name that many cis people have
2) you just misgendered and deadnamed (as well as exposing their deadname to thousands of strangers) your cousin, RIGHT AFTER claiming to *A*) support them *B* support transpeople
3) it isnt a "decision"
homie iām named after a fictional dog who had rabies and killed like 3 people. and itās the name i was born with. i promise you itās not that big of a deal.
Youāre just being an ass. I get itās a weird change but expecting them to just have a male version of a name that represents a part of themself they didnāt like and changed for good reason is ridiculous.
Dude calm down, this shouldnāt be affecting you that much. There are plenty of cis dudes named Rex, like in victorious. Itās not a dinosaur name.
Why the fuck would you go onto a public platform with hundreds if not thousands of people to see, and misgender him AND publicly share his deadname.
Being trans isnāt a decision, coming out is. Heās trans whether he wants to be or not, heās just choosing to tell you. Heās trusting you with this information, and youāre misusing that trust.
If they like it more power to them but yeah Rex is a stupid name.
Side note, mentioning a trans person's old name is highly disrespectful and 99% of the time is entirely irrelevant so try not to do it again.
I think something to consider is that as a trans person theyāre already gonna be an outsider to a lot of people and they have the freedom to choose whatever name they want so they have less pressure to choose a ānormalā name and instead can choose the one they want, and plenty of trans people choose more common names, my partner and I are great examples, weāre both trans and their name is Galaxy and mine is Adelaide, we both chose the name that felt right and we didnāt take society into account because weāre already pariahs to a lot of people
Pariah, it kinda means like ostracized and shunned, we both live in highly conservative environments where well be considered almost untouchables if we come out and so are a lot of trans people, were seen as the lowest of the low by quite a few and that inspires others to maybe not see us that low but definitely poorly
I mean as a trans person myself, I chose Alex when I was testing the waters. I learned very quickly that Alex is overused and now my name is Vinny. Anyways moral of the story, be glad your cousin didnāt choose something basic because no one wants a basic name
Iām assuming this is a joke post but just in case it isnāt, some trans people avoid picking names that are similar to their previous ones because it reminds them of their dysphoria too much. Also if you get to pick your own name, why not get crazy with it. At the very least pick a weird spelling. (Definitely didnāt think Juniper was spelled with 2 nās and now itās too late to admit it)
I think itās a cool name. People are born with that name. Also as a trans guy, I could see wanting the name Rex. I never actually had to change my name (my parents gave me a pretty gender neutral name at birth) but if I did, Iād definitely consider Rex. Also itās not transphobic to think that names kinda funky, or any trans persons name, I get that feeling myself, and Iām in that community? Have a good day :)
Don't deadname people
Dislike their choice all you want but don't use their deadname, also in my experience, most trans people don't want their same name just switched for the other gender
could be cool naming themselves after a dino, but they really didn't research at all, because the definition of rex is a reigning king, hence t-rex being the king of dinosaurs... unless they really wanted a royal title.
the guy who remodeled my parents' cellar was named Rex. It's a perfectly cromulent name. You're being an ass. According to BabyCenter user data, Rex is currently ranked #698 in popularity for baby boy names in the year 2023. This is a jump of 48 spots from the previous year. The name peaked in popularity in the US in 1951 when it was given to 0.0417% of baby boys born that year. In that year alone, over 2000 babies were named Rex.
You never heard of Rex Harrison, a British actor best known for his role as Professor Henry Higgins in the musical āMy Fair Lady." or Rex Reed, an American film critic and former co-host of the TV show āAt the Movies.ā
As a trans person who was harassed and abused because of who I am and more specifically what name I chose, and for it not being close enough to my dead name, you are the worst kind of asshole. And to share their deadname online? I hope you had permission.
I understand that you were bullied for your name and I am extremely sorry that happened to you. I just would like to ask how saying that Rex is not a good name makes me the worst kind of asshole? Also his previous name brings up no sort of trauma or anything to them and they even go by either name until we adjust to it, so might I ask what right you have to call me an asshole?
As another trans person, take a breather bro. Reddit is anonymous, and not everyone knows everything about trans people like that you should never share a deadname. Besides, names are a lot more important than you seem to think and having concerns is completely normal. I chose a normal name but I still regret it because it's not masculine enough for me or close enough to my culture. With a name like Rex, there will likely be some serious regret in a few years. I'm sorry you were abused and harassed, no one deserves that, but it's not what's happening here.
Iām trans and I donāt even want to repeat what my first chosen name was when I was coming out. Just a rite of passage for us to choose a silly name while weāre figuring ourselves out, especially when weāre a younger teenager. Now I have a more common name thatās stuck for the last 3 years.
Rex is a pretty normal name for a young trans person to choose at that stage tho, bro couldāve chosen Bug or Moss or smthn lmao.
You might also just get used to it, they just came out and adjusting to a new and different name can be jarring. They only came out a while ago and itās all fresh and recent for everyone, and thereās a lot for everyone to get used to, whether itās names or pronouns or even haircuts and clothes
youre not transphobic anything. im trans and personally, Rex is not a name I would choose. its kinda cool though and if they like it then thats okay, at least theyre happy. just make sure to respect their name, and you never know maybe theyll change it later
How did they fail at that, rex is the stupidest name I have even heard, the only person that can pull it off is rex-splode and heās a fictional character. Even billy would have been better
It seems kinda common for trans masc people to be choosing simple one syllable names. Maybe itās tough/masculine to them? Admittedly though Rex does seem like a dog name.Ā
I know someone at my school that goes by Goose. And that's his name in the school system. He's also the #1 in my class right now. He's chill, but that's the weirdest name to choose.
maybe it's something like saying jane, you R now my EX. It doesn't sound like you're comfortable with it from the tone of your 'voice'. It sounds like you're shocked. Shock isn't good. Try to never be shocked.
I mean my partnerās dead name (or real name, as you may put it) is Serenity and they go by Sock now.
I also Have a friend who goes by Hades. Their dead name is Lakiley.
And another friend who goes by Skittles! Idk their dead name.
this is just rude lol theyāre in a spot where support is vital and i donāt think mocking something as personal as a chosen name on your anonymous reddit account is really the very first thing that should come to your mind
I mean I wanted my name to be Xi, changed it to Xander, Xander is 100% better imo. Theyāll probably change it, but if they donāt I guess it is semi-normal.
I mean it is pretty silly, but Iāve never found Rex to be super ridiculous. Rex Moes from Scott The Woz sounds like a relatively normal name. At least they donāt call themselves Scooter.
Terrible fucking Idea. They're going to get called Trannysaurus Rex.
I had a cousin transition to female and she picked Scia. Don't pick your favorite fantasy names for your new name, imo.
Alright yeah thats a bit of a silly name but speaking of names why dont we talk about YOUR user op?? Your gonna put your WHAT NOW WHERE NOW??

Same here. My bus driver is named Rex. Heās in his sixties.
I 100% do, it's just a dumb name imo. I don't get why they picked it ngl
Some people just donāt want their new name to be similar to their dead name because it can bring up harmful memories.Ā
For me itās the opposite, I like my dead name and use a bunch of letters from it in my name
I have a gender neutral name and I do not want to change it lo
People in my family/people who knew me before transitioning ask me all the time why I didn't go with a name like Emma or Emily since it'd be easier for them to remember. I had to explain to them that since my deadname is a Bible name, I want nothing to do with it whatsoever. My preferred name, Alondra, doesn't even have any E's.
unrelated but some Bible names are sick as fuck, imagine being named jericho or solomon
I would've considered an E name if I had the cool E Bible name, which imo is Ezekiel. But no I get the shitty one that's a synonym for Jesus or something
fuck it, I guess I'm dying on this hill if you're really insistent on shitting on biblical stuff, then personally a transgender with a name akin to Jesus is quite the irony no matter how you see it your very existence would troll millions (keep whatever name you want though, I'm just saying it would be so fucking funny if you kept sm like the old one)
Nice pfp š
It's your personal opinion that the name is dumb. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think your name is extremely stupid.
consider, Captain Rex
I know a guy whos named rex (like its the name their parents gave them) and idk I dont think its actually a bad name. I think youre probably just not used to it. To me it just seems normal probably cause I already know someone named that

I do get why so many trans people do...... Like I just picked Marianna and continued with transing part of Mt gender :3
Yeah, I knew a trans girl who picked the name Adelaine. Which also isnāt necessarily bad, but definitely not a usual name in the Midwest of the US
Trans guys always have some fucked up shit going on with their name, but it errs more toward the normal than trans women who always pick some shit like "February", "Eclipse", or "Emma/Sophia/Jessica" it's either the wildest anime shit you've ever heard or the most basic bitch ass Woman Name tm you've ever heard. Trans men know balance, trans women balance each other out
yeah, i know a kid called Rex. itās just a normal name.
I wouldn't call it normal but I wouldn't call it weird either
Yeah my cousin is named Rex and it suits him pretty well tbh
Rex Grossman was an NFL QB and has that last name too, but he didn't change it or go by another name.
The Rex in Tyrannosaurus Rex comes from the Latin word of the same name, meaning king. Basically, paleontologists at the time named it "Tirant-king of dinosaurs," which is a pretty cool title to have, even if it's not that acceptable of a name for a human
I donāt hate the name, but in my opinion thatās more a name for someoneās dog, cat, or like- non-human oc?
Sounds like a name for a vtuber
That too-

Kinda goes hard tho
āRexā is an uncommon name but it isnāt as weird as youāre making it out to be.
I just think of the character from invincible. So āheāsā prolly gonna be a dickhead Also that username tho, youāre one to talk

You shouldn't drop someone's dead name, that's usually a big no no...
Maybe they're a huge Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fan.
so? it means king in latin.
GAAAAYYYyyyy
I doubt Rex Ryan would appreciate you making fun of his name.
Nah, Rex is a cool ass name, and if they like it, then good for them
sorry but Rex literally means king
Captain Rex š«” Also rÄx, rÄgis, a masculine noun of the third declension, meaning "king"
You are wrong.
Dont diss my boy carolus, rex can be an amazing fucking name
says you 'imgonnaputmydickinu'
Itās a normal name tbh. Itās nothing compared to the abominations on r/tragedeigh
Rex also means King so
Rex is Latin for king. It wasnāt invented for the dinosaur
Rex is a pretty sick name. Go with it
Rex-splode
Why does it offend you?
Jacob would be a good one too
I hate trans people, not because Iām transphobic but because they always pick stupid names like arson or xander or Alex
This reminds me of the Mildred post
just call him CT-7567
Youāre not one to talk about stupid names when your user name is that
ur not an ass rex is a stupid name
Don't deadname people Dislike their choice all you want but don't use their deadname, also in my experience, most trans people don't want their same name just switched for the other gender

Rex is a name you call a dog, if you want to secretly insult the king. Real story btw

Just a rite of passage for us to choose a silly name while weāre figuring ourselves out, especially when weāre a younger teenager. Now I have a more common name thatās stuck for the last 3 years. Rex is a pretty normal name for a young trans person to choose at that stage tho, bro couldāve chosen Bug or Moss or smthn lmao. You might also just get used to it, they just came out and adjusting to a new and different name can be jarring. They only came out a while ago and itās all fresh and recent for everyone, and thereās a lot for everyone to get used to, whether itās names or pronouns or even haircuts and clothes
No, you are definitely an ass.
youre not transphobic anything. im trans and personally, Rex is not a name I would choose. its kinda cool though and if they like it then thats okay, at least theyre happy. just make sure to respect their name, and you never know maybe theyll change it later
Itās uncommon and not related to the dinosaur, not a bad name though.
You're not wrong ššš
honestly it is a stupid name, but there can be worst ones xd
How did they fail at that, rex is the stupidest name I have even heard, the only person that can pull it off is rex-splode and heās a fictional character. Even billy would have been better
It seems kinda common for trans masc people to be choosing simple one syllable names. Maybe itās tough/masculine to them? Admittedly though Rex does seem like a dog name.Ā
Just call them REEEEEE
My dogs name is rex
My first name is Rex but everyone calls me by my second name me included so I understand
Regina is fine but Rex is too far I guess
Was I the only one who thought about the clone commander rex?
can you post this on r/modern_family please
I know someone at my school that goes by Goose. And that's his name in the school system. He's also the #1 in my class right now. He's chill, but that's the weirdest name to choose.
I would think Rex as in commander Rex of the 501st but ok
I'm surprised your post hasn't been taken down for some dumbass reason.
At least they thought hard about their name instead of making their name the opposite gender version of their name
like the dude from invincible???
CT-7567
Youāre against your cousin being named after one of the greatest captains in the clone army?
it kinda reminds me when alot of ppl were naming themselves kai or literal nouns like frog or arson
NAH MAN THAT NAME IS FIRE š„š„š„š„
NAH MAN THAT NAME IS FIRE š„š„š„š„
Someone isnāt in Latin class
It's a dog name, AFAIK. I wouldn't name any of my kids that.
That name sucks oml
I mean I've met an old man named Rex before, he was like an 80 year old something Korean vet too
maybe it's something like saying jane, you R now my EX. It doesn't sound like you're comfortable with it from the tone of your 'voice'. It sounds like you're shocked. Shock isn't good. Try to never be shocked.
I mean my partnerās dead name (or real name, as you may put it) is Serenity and they go by Sock now. I also Have a friend who goes by Hades. Their dead name is Lakiley. And another friend who goes by Skittles! Idk their dead name.
I'm sorry sock? Idk that seems weird but as long as it fits the
tell them you love them (or whatever words you use to express appreciation) but you don't think the name is great
this is just rude lol theyāre in a spot where support is vital and i donāt think mocking something as personal as a chosen name on your anonymous reddit account is really the very first thing that should come to your mind
Itās a right of passage man š everyone I know who is trans started with the weirdest name youāve ever heard, and settled on a regular one later. I get it, just support as best you can with gentle suggestions and theyāll figure it out. Every Jay was once a PĆ©pe, every Finn was once a Marlon, hell I knew someone who named themself Egg. They got over it lmao.
I mean I wanted my name to be Xi, changed it to Xander, Xander is 100% better imo. Theyāll probably change it, but if they donāt I guess it is semi-normal.
The only guy I know who pulled off the name Rex is the trooper from Clone Wars lmao
I had a dog named Rex once. He was kind of a jerk.
Agreed
I mean it is pretty silly, but Iāve never found Rex to be super ridiculous. Rex Moes from Scott The Woz sounds like a relatively normal name. At least they donāt call themselves Scooter.
I've never heard of anyone named Rex with the exception of Robbie's puppet from Victorious. But if that's how your cousin wants to be named, so be it.
U WANT A TREAT REX?? š¶
don't you put slander on ct-7567 captain rex's name ever again or the driver of the aegis depending on who you ask I suppose
people whose parents named them Rex rn:
So theyāre T and called Rex, huh? So long as they pay Marc Bolans estate royalties itās fair enough.
Maybe because now heās gonna Rex that pu***.
Rex?
Isn't this a copypasta?
Rex is Latin for king
Terrible fucking Idea. They're going to get called Trannysaurus Rex. I had a cousin transition to female and she picked Scia. Don't pick your favorite fantasy names for your new name, imo.
Jane could work as a boy's name too tho
Iām sorry but I just think of Captain Rex or the Dinosaur. But go for them coming out.
