Joseph

I think both are quite nice, but I slightly prefer Joseph. I like Joe as a shortening but can't think of a nice shortening for Dexter.

Joseph, classic and timeless.

RoadrunnerMeepMeep · 08/10/2017 19:45

I like both. Ds middle name is Dexter and if I ever had another ds, would Joey would be a strong contender (Joseph on birth cert).

CPtart · 08/10/2017 19:25

Joseph by a mile.

Lots of Dexter's round my way (Nth London), so I'd probably go Joseph as it's more classic and won't date.

Lemondrop99 · 19/09/2017 11:22

Dexter. Love it. Very cool

hlc123 · 19/09/2017 10:10

Dexter

MammieBear · 19/09/2017 07:49

Depends on whether you want a timless classic or a name that stands out a bit more...

I think the trend is for dogs to have human names:

Bob, Simon etc

and kids to have dog names

Jasper

NotAgainYoda · 19/09/2017 07:04

Joseph

Dexter is faddy and celebby

fizzytonicplease · 19/09/2017 06:09

Can't any name be a dogs name? If i worried about that then i would have lots of trouble picking names, as most of the people I know with dogs have given them normal names such as Lucy, Jack, eli, freddie etc...

NearLifeExperience · 19/09/2017 00:22

Dexter. Joseph is boring.

HappyLollipop · 19/09/2017 00:17

Joseph
