Viral Video: The phrase ‘what’s in the name’ might be a cool dialogue to deliver in the movies, but in actuality, a name usually has a lot to do with a person. From one’s personality to identity, almost everything about a human being is heavily associated with the name that they get at the time of their birth. Perhaps that is the reason why new parents often name their kids after the people who inspired the couple the most. With that said, it's quite obvious that getting to be that ‘inspiring’ person for a couple, is a rather beautiful and honourable feeling to experience. And that is exactly what happened with an Australian man named Rex.
The man got all emotional after he got to know that his friend decided to name his newborn son after him. A video of their wholesome interaction was shared on social media, which went viral in the blink of an eye.
The post was shared on social media platform Instagram, by the handle ‘Pubity’. The post was captioned, “When little Tex met big Tex.”

Most people loved the man’s reaction and commented on the future relationship the man would share with the baby, while the rest called the gesture adorable. Some also recalled similar instances that they experienced in their own life. The video was shared a few hours ago and pulled 64K likes from admirers.
Taking to the comment box, people shared their take. “An Australian kid named Tex is the most badass sh*t I’ve ever heard,” a user said. “That’s a good as- appropriate Aussie response,” commented a second person. “My friends did the same thing to me. I’m still shaking,” said a third person. “I swear someone's cutting onions in this comment section because why are my eyes watery,” said the next. “My favourite hobby is laying in bed crying about strangers being happy,” joined a fifth user.
“He loved that little baby as soon as he saw him before he even heard the name, but when he was told the name it took it to a whole new level,” said another. “Big Tex will be that little Tex's best friend and will protect him with his life,” said another.
