My SIL is due her first baby later this year. They just had the 20 w scan and found out they're expecting a boy. They've told close family the gender, and the name they have in mind - Baxter. I've never heard this before. I tried to give a neutral response when she asked if I like it, I said it was unusual but easy to spell (??) But honestly I dislike it. It just reminds me of a dog's name. Anyone else know or having a baby Baxter? Is it just me, or is it not such a great name?

It's a fine name. Ok, a bit unusual, but not everyone should be called Oliver or Thomas

Not your baby, it doesn't matter a jot if you don't like the name.

To me, Baxter is a dog. Something big and chunky.

I know someone with a son named Baxter. All children grow into their names.

It makes me think of the dog from Anchorman but it isn't an awful name and once baby is here it will just become his name. You'll get used to it!

I don't know any children with that name but so know a dog with it!
