What do you all think of the name Dexter?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

I quite like the name but the fact that its the new 'i want to give my child an unusual name' name would put me off of using it.

It's the sort of name that could go either way, really

You can see it totally suiting a 30-something, Don Draper-esque partner in a magic circle firm ... and a flabby and hirsute 50-year old gent, with questionable personal hygiene and an unrelenting gaming habit.

You'd have to really hope for the former.

Dexter is in the top 100 now so is definitely not too out there any more. But probably will become more popular. Might be a consideration if you are bothered about that.

Love it and it was on our list but lots of people associated it woth the serial killer.

I never watched it though so didn't get the hype

It was my second choice for my ds, I will use it if we get ds2, my first ds has a very unusual name so would need to do the same but worried dexter might become popular.

Makes me think Dexter Fletcher from Press Gang (possibly showing my age with that one), and more recently Dexter Morgan serial killer...

Sorry - it's a cool name though if you can pull it off.

My six month old's name :)

I love it, we've earmarked it for the next DC!

Not for another generation, I'm afraid.
