DH says no. Growl. What do you all think...? Middle name likely to be Bethany.
Thanks x

I'm not so keen on Astor, it's a surname. Aster like the flower is nicer.

I am also a Dexter fan, but believe that in Dexter it is Astor.

Anyway I do like it, only because of Dexter. Why don't you go for Astrid with nn Astor?

I like it. Unusual but not weird.

Yes, Aster is a flower.

I like it.

MoonUnit, I love you! DH said it was a made up name but we are massive Dexter fans so I have just proven him wrong Grin

Incidentally Dexter was our chosen name for a boy (not after the serial killer... Hmm )

I think Aster is unisex - I'd have thought Ashton was a boys name... maybe that's unisex too?

Love it, like the little girl from Dexter!

It's a flower isn't it?

Dexter morgan, anyone Grin

clumsymumluckybaby · 16/01/2011 17:42

i thought it was okay for a boy...hadnt expected a girl,

but it's also the name of the contractors the council pay to fix stuff in council houses (i used to work for them) though i doubt anyone else would make that connection!Grin

ashton is nicer IMO

No point in asking us if your dh doesn't like it!
