The 2 Dexters I know have sisters called Eleanor and Rosanna.

Out of your boys names, I think Leon works REALLY well - similar vibe. I also like Seth with Dexter. Nathan goes pretty well too.

Christian is interesting and unusual.

Really dislike Tobias (too wet) and Harvey. Sorry!

Like all your girls' names,but think Dexter and Zoe go the best - again, similar vibe. Or possibly Robyn. Think Thalia goes the least well.

Other names that might go - strong, unfussy names: e.g. Megan; Scarlett; Sylvie; Margot; Seren; Tamsin?

Good luck!

The only Dexter I know has a brother called Lincoln

Harvey - really like it
Isaac - love it, one of my favourite boy names
Leon - it's ok. Prefer Leo
Nathan - don't like it but, bizarrely, love Nathaniel
Sebastian - like it
Seth - really don't like this
Tobias - like it but prefer Toby
Zachary - love it
Christian - quite like it

Autumn - really like it
Clara - like it
Harper - like it
Paige - it's ok. Feels a bit dated to me though not sure it is!
Robyn - really like it
Summer - it's ok. For some reason it seems like a smug person's name - I have no idea why!
Thea - really like it
Zoe - quite like it
Tahlia - it's ok
Willow - like it

Great lists actually - for best fits with Dexter combined with what I like best I'd go for Zachary and Autumn

Boys:
Aidan, Austin, Brogan, Brennan, Braxton, Casper, Carter, Cole, Caleb, Dylan, Ethan, Felix, Fraser, Hayden, Harry, Harrison, Ivan, Jayden, Joel, Jared, Jackson, Kyle, Kayden, Liam, Logan, Lester, Marcus, Mason, Morgan, Nico, Oliver, Owen, Parker, Preston, Phoenix, River, Riley, Reuben, Stanley, Tyler, Tian, Titus

Girls:
Alexis, Ariel, April, Amber, Aria, Anya, Ayla, Avery, Addison, Bonnie, Bronte, Brodie, Callie, Cassidy, Camryn, Crystal, Demi, Darcey, Ebony, Emery, Emerald, Erin, Eden, Fallon, Farrah, Genesis, Hadley, Hayley, Holly, Honey, India, Jade, Jasmine, Jodie, Jordan, Katie, Kayleigh, Kelsey, Lily, Lucy, Layla, Lyla, Lila, Mina, Mila, Mala, Millie, Mollie, Mia, Madison, Michaela, Nicole, Ocean, Piper, Quinn, Riley, Rosie, Roxanne, Savannah, Sienna, Serena, Sabrina, Sadie, Star, Tia, Tianna, Tegan, Taryn, Zia, Zara

I love Autumn (and also love Dexter!!) we are due in 4 weeks and also thinking about Autumn, can I ask OP if her baby is due around Autumn time or if it doesn't matter as we are in that quandary at present! Also love Paige, Thea and Nathan from your list!

I am thinking of Dexter for my new little one. Currently have two girls called Sophia and Emily. Think they all sound good together
