Sorry but I don't usually like surnames as first names.

Makes me think of the books/TV series about the murderer Dexter but he is a great character!

hmm, I seem to have heard it a lot ever since Charlotte Church used it for her son, so I would worry it will become a bit faddy and feel dated in a few years.

I quite like it. Reminds me of Dexter Fletcher from Press Gang back in the 80s

I really don't understand the appeal of it.

Love it a lot, didn't know Charlotte Church has used it though, and that would put me off (not Charlotte Church so much as ANY celebrity).

It's becoming rather popular these days.

Reminds me of a serial killer on a TV show.
