Devon and Dexter?

Opinions please

By poppy34 on Sat 10-May-08 21:33:09

if you like em go for it - they aren't that similar imo and if they are who cares?

By BigBadMouse on Sat 10-May-08 21:42:08

No, I think they go nicely together and are both nice names in their own right.

By ManxMum on Sat 10-May-08 21:48:06

really nice smile

By devonsmummy on Sat 10-May-08 21:50:01

thanks ladies

now need to persuade DH that Dexter should be number 1 on boys list

By abouteve on Sat 10-May-08 21:51:02

They are fine together. Like Dexter a lot.

By BEAUTlFUL on Sat 10-May-08 21:53:09

I love those, and I think the fact that they're slightly similar makes them even nicer. Devon is inspired.

By funnypeculiar on Sat 10-May-08 21:56:31

Fine imo

By ElizabethBeresfordSW19 on Sat 10-May-08 22:47:33

Yes, they sound like pandas at an American Zoo.

I like Dexter on its own though. Devon is OK but a bit androgenous.

By BigBadMouse on Sat 10-May-08 23:47:33

Pandas???

I think the opinions on 'Devon' are a bit late in coming!

...but, for what it's worth, I like it lots grin

Dexter is sweet but I am watching the new ITV series Dexter, where Dexter is a serial killer so that colours it for me at the mo!

By lizziemun on Sun 11-May-08 08:33:44

I think they are ok.

But then I have a Elizabeth and Alexandra who we call Lizzie and Lexie.

By MaloryTowers on Sun 11-May-08 08:37:59

is devon a boy or a girl??

By ElizabethBeresfordSW19 on Sun 11-May-08 08:58:27

Bigbadmouse. Yes, after my post I looked at the OP's name and I can tell you I felt like the MONKEY.

By BigBadMouse on Sun 11-May-08 16:36:52

Elizabeth - grin

By devonsmummy on Mon 12-May-08 13:00:32

Devon is a boy.
I'd not heard the name before (only Devon Malcolm the cricketer) but since having him I've been told of 2 Devon's that are girls so yes it is androgenous.

Not seen the ITV series Dexter.
I once worked with a Dexter who was the sweetest guy

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
