Dexter

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

What do you think of this? I like Teddy and Harrison but Dexter is our favourite and don't know of any others in the area. Those we've mentioned the name too aren't keen.

[zombiemeow]

I love it!

Ds was going to be Dexter, we were torn between two names. I gave dm the final decision and she went for the other name.

Dexter, a million times better than Teddy.

I know a very cool little Dexter. When I first met him, I didn't like the name. I thought it was a bit, I don't know, like calling someone 'cool guy' or 'dude' rather than an actual name. But now I've got used to it I really like it.

[SmallBee]

Love Dexter. Unfortunately DH is a fan of the TV show which somewhat put us off using it,but then we had a girl anyway so wasn't an issue!

[WinterWinnie]

A Serial Killer!

I prefer both Harrison and Teddy!

I do like Harry more than Harrison, but prefer Teddy to both :)

Dexter is still okay :)

[sugarplumfairy28]

Dexter is certainly on my list. I also have Felix and Archer. We have a grey kitten called Teddy, so can only picture him for that name. I can't stand Harrison, sorry.

[Sophronia]

I prefer Harrison. Not keen on Dexter or Teddy.

[thebiscuitindustry]

I like Harrison best of the three.

My friend has just named her son Dexter. It suits him and it's a lovely name.

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

Thank you for your opinions :)
I expect too be flamed for this ~ my childhood cat that recently died was called Dexter which is how I thought of it (love the programme too secretly), Teddy I liked for a girl but heard of boys called of it, and if I say why I like Harrison I'll "out" myself.

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

Sorry I rushed that message!

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

Love it, great choice.

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

It's DS2's Middle name. I think it might suit him more than his first name tbh, but I can't imagine what my mum would say if I seapped what I called him now!

[mrsschu]

I don't like Dexter at all. It sounds too "trying to be cool/trendy". Not crazy about your other names either but would go with Teddy from the list. Although I think Ted is far, far nicer. I'd also only use Ted/Teddy as a nn for Edward.

[MaelstromOfLunacy]

I have one he's two and a half. Have only ever had positive comments on his name

[Xantheticus]

Don't do it! His nickname will be Sexy Dexy all through school.

[Pancakeflipper]

I know one and he's brilliant.


He's not yet been called Sexy Dexy, but the boy called Rex is suffering with the girls yelling "Sexy Rexy" at him.

[timelytess]

No, sorry.

[NormHonal]

If DC1 had been a boy, Dexter is the name we would have used. Such a fab name, and Dex is a brilliant nickname.

Haven't come across one IRL either.

I know a couple of Harrisons and don't like the name.

[ColdAsIceCubes]

I know one Dexter, he is a lovely lovely young boy and really suits his name. I wanted Harrison for one of my boys, but my DD vetoed it, it would've suited my ds as much as his actual name does.

[Narp]

I don't like it. Too trendy

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

Ahh mixed reviews, I suppose most names do?

[cheekstime]

wasn't dexter st.jock a character 'dick swinging' on eddie murphys comedy tour in the 80's. Can't remmebr the name of the tour now though. Got to say that is going back a few years! Good luck. Teddy is sweeter out of them I think :)

[woopywoo]

I have a Dexter Miles aged ten. He suits his name perfectly and was born before the TV show! Never been another one at his school.

[LastTripToTulsa]

There are lots of Dexters these days x
