Yeay or Nay?

I think it's a lovely name and getting more popular but after my massive box set binge on Dexter whilst pregnant, it definitely didn't come anywhere near my short list!

Nay, nay and thrice nay!

Love it!

Too surnamey for me, sorry.

But he will only kill other serial killers

I really like it

Friend of mine had a son who liked dexter's laboratory but couldn't say it and always said "dexter's suppository" instead little boy in daughters school called it and can't help but think of it every time I see him.

Love the name tho

Dislike

Love it!

When we have another DC, if it is a DS, there is going to be an argument between us (Theodore for me, Dexter for DP)

Love it as you can probably guess!!! It was vetoed by DP hence me using it in my user name.

Bit Charlotte church for me

love it.

I like it but it's our puppies name. We do ave a friend with that name and it really suits him.

Absolutely hate it, sorry

A definite nay from me. It's horrid.

Really don't like it - sorry!

I really like it. Dex sounds cool.

I like it, but couldn't for the same reason as MrsD!

I have a Dexter Miles aged 6 [so before the tv show!].He is freckly,fab and very cool-just like the name!!

I know a Dexter, thought it was a strange choice of name when I first met him when he was a baby, but think it is a lovely name now - and agree with Greenshirt - very cool!

I love it and would consider it. Depends on surname but I like!

Love it. Was on our short list & I still sometimes wish we'd gone for it.

Super-cool name. Love it.

Seems like a marmite name then!
