Delsar
Posted by Rex | Under Uncategorized Tuesday Feb 17, 2009
Delsar is my second first name. The word comes from the names of my two grandfathers, Delbe and Cesar. So my full first name is “Rex Delsar”. However, people would usually just refer to me as Rex. It saves them two syllables.
Some people have mistaken Delsar to be my surname. Maybe it’s because I use “rexdelsar” for my email addresses. Well, I opted to use “rexdelsar” for my email and domain name because it’s so much easier for others to remember and spell than “rexdianala”.
“Delsar” is unique. Perhaps because of its strangeness and my curious handwriting, I have a number of certificates and conference IDs that spell it as Delsa or Delsan. It seems like they couldn’t make it out.
Indeed, I’ve long thought Delsar was so unique a name, no one else would even think it existed. Then one day, after trying it on a Google search, I learned Delsar is a surname in Australia and also a brand of fire extinguishers. Interesting!
Delsar. I myself find it an interesting name. I’m proud of it. There are so many people out there named Rex but no one else I know named Rex Delsar. More importantly, with that name, I carry the names of my two grandfathers; two men whose names are not easy to live up to. So it is also a challenge.

Rexy boy, opps… sorry, pardon me, but can I call you that way or maybe, RD for short! HaHaHa….Just teasing you, Rex. For crying out loud, yes, I’m one of the ignorants who thought Delsar was your mom’s surname, really!!! So, it’s your second name, hmmm… unique, indeed! BTW, your other grandpa’s name is Cesar (who?). Just tryin to connect 2 dots here.
