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!

lisaro Mon 06-Feb-12 18:35:40

Nay, nay and thrice nay!

mumofjust1 Mon 06-Feb-12 18:38:21

Love it! grin

Too surnamey for me, sorry.

RabidEchidna Mon 06-Feb-12 18:39:58

But he will only kill other serial killers grin

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 smile little boy in daughters school called it and can't help but think of it every time I see him.

Love the name tho

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)

DexterTheCat Mon 06-Feb-12 19:25:15

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

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

LaFilleSurLePont Tue 07-Feb-12 13:17:29

A definite nay from me. It's horrid.

Montsti Tue 07-Feb-12 14:39:07

Really don't like it - sorry!

ChickensGoMeh Tue 07-Feb-12 14:40:22

I really like it. Dex sounds cool.

TeWihara Tue 07-Feb-12 14:56:00

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

Greenshirt Tue 07-Feb-12 23:48:43

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

galletti Tue 07-Feb-12 23:54:54

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.

MayaAngelCool Wed 08-Feb-12 00:20:10

Super-cool name. Love it.
