Brexen or Breksen?

Boy Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
I really like the name pronounced ‘Breck-sen’ with the nickname of [name_u]Rex[/name_u], but i’m unsure of how to spell it. I used to be fully set on spelling it Brexen, because I feel that it makes more sense for the nickname to be [name_u]Rex[/name_u], but I like the look of Breksen better.

I have heard of a YouTube family who have a son with this name, spelled Brexsen, but I just feel like it’s a bit much.

Thoughts?

I like the sound of this name too - I have a [name_u]Beck[/name_u]! I have to say, all of the spellings are a little squiggly to me. I think swapping in an O and going Breckson would be my personal favourite. I understand that this is further from the spelling of [name_u]Rex[/name_u] that you want as a nickname! However, [name_u]Rex[/name_u] still works.
Favourite to least:
Breckson
Brekson
Breksen
Brexen
Brexsen

I’m interested in what the other Berries say, as I think my familiarity with [name_u]Beck[/name_u] is what makes me prefer a C in the name!

I think you could get the nickname [name_u]Rex[/name_u] (which is super cool btw) with any spelling. I prefer Brexen over Breksen, but my favourite would be Brecksen or Breckson. I think it looks more familiar to me as an [name_f]English[/name_f] speaker to have a “ck” rather than just a “k” in the name. It sounds cool any way, though!

I think Brexen is so much better as I think Breksen looks odd

I prefer Brexen of the two, but I think Brexon or Breckson (which is definitely my fave spelling personally, like least like “Brexit,” which is what the other spellings are reminding me of) would be even better.

For what’s it’s worth also, I think [name_u]Rex[/name_u] as a nickname is totally all right regardless of spelling for Breckson!

I prefer Breksen! [name_m]Even[/name_m] as an American Brexen reminds me of Brexit :sweat_smile: Especially if you prefer Breksen I think it’s the way to go – [name_u]Rex[/name_u] still works as a nickname regardless of how you spell it.

Hmmm- [name_u]Rex[/name_u] is a cute nickname and I think it works for any spelling!

I think Breckson spelling looks the most complete and name-like!

Good luck

I am in agreement with the other berries. Breckson and Brexon look the most “correct” to me, and I think [name_u]Rex[/name_u] works with both. [name_u]Rex[/name_u] is a cutie nickname!
