2 Dexter's and 1 Esther.

The Esther is pushing 40 though so probably won't be at school with your DC!

hefner · 13/07/2012 16:09

None of any of them.

weasar · 13/07/2012 15:11

none for any of them!

DontEatTheVolesKids · 13/07/2012 15:08

None whatsoever.

NiceViper · 13/07/2012 15:05

1 x Dexter (age 10), none for both the other two.

MrsJohnDeere · 13/07/2012 15:05

Wonder if we all know the same Dexter....

MrsJohnDeere · 13/07/2012 15:04

1 Dexter
No Roccos (although have heard it shouted in the swimming pool)
No child Esthers, only 30somethngs.

ripsishere · 13/07/2012 15:03

None
None - do know a Rocky though
The only Esther I know was my Great Grandma and she'd be about 112 had she lived beyond 95.
It is a lovely name.

Love the name Esther, wish we hadn't given that name to our cat (who is still with us) 12 years ago - it would be no. 1 on my girls shortlist at the moment otherwise! I know of one who is 5yrs.

Know one Dexter 16 months.

Don't know any Roccos.

puds11 · 13/07/2012 15:02

1 Dexter (not including the fictional one)
1 Esther (not including rantzen)
Only heard of Rocco Ritchie (madonnas son)

PoppyWearer · 13/07/2012 15:02

None of any of them.

Dexter was our second choice for DS,but we stuck with a family name that suits him to a tee.

Cheriefroufrou · 13/07/2012 15:00

Dexter - one 3yo
Rocco - one 4yo
Esther - one absolutely horrid, spoilt, 13yo "mean girl" who bosses around her followers friends. Horrid horrid horrid girl so can't really comment on the name itself as I just think about her

hypoxia · 13/07/2012 14:57

No Dexters, have come across a few Roccos in the park, and know some delightful Esthers - classy name :)

dillnameddog · 13/07/2012 14:48

No Dexters, Roccos or Esthers.

I think Esther could well make a bit of a comeback, but can't seeing it being a top ten name.

HecateHarshPants · 13/07/2012 11:52

I am Essie to everyone. Call me Esther and I feel like I'm in trouble Grin

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 13/07/2012 10:26

havent been nn Essie for ages, is a nn from my scotish relatives Grin.

Littlecherublegs · 13/07/2012 10:26

One Dexter (but he's a dog!)
No Rocco's (apart from Madonna's)
One Esther (but shes 30+!)

So from my experience, none of these names are particularly popular for babies - not where I am anyway!

HecateHarshPants · 13/07/2012 10:21
TheEnthusiasticTroll · 13/07/2012 09:40

none

none

My name Grin

NormanTheForeman · 13/07/2012 09:37

No Dexters or Roccos. One Esther, who is about 8.

Thank you for your comments.

I love Esther too.

Yes, Madonna has a Rocco but doesn't bother me. It's a name from my area of Italy so has a significance / history to it for me way beyond her.

Dexter is dp's favourite. I do like it but think its getting pretty popular in London.

poorbuthappy · 13/07/2012 07:53

I love Esther but as our surname is Williams I was vetoed. Angry
