I don't even like this as a nickname, but as a legal name it would be even worse. It makes me think of a stereotypical Texan who wears a cowboy hat, votes Republican, and hates gay people.

This name is totally ridiculous. It would sound pathetic in Texas, and just plain weird anywhere else. Tex sounds rather like the name of a dog or a redneck.

I don't think Tex has to be such a masculine name. It's my nickname-because of my middle name (Texanna), and I've grown fond of it. I now sign my papers as Katie "Tex".
