Yes to Dex from Dynasty but nowadays my first thought is the serial killer books (and tv series).

Thanks everyone it's the front runner at the moment. I love Dex as a nickname. The closer I get to my due date the more I'm over thinking it 💙

I think you should choose the name you love. We chose a name that was unpopular generally but it really suits our son and we love it. He's had no problems and we get a lot of compliments/comments about his name

I love it Wink

I think of Dexter Fletcher and also the book/film One Day. It always seems American to me a bit like Brandon or Blake.

I know a guy around my age called dexter and I think it really suits him. People call him dex as a nickname

Sinister..

Tanfastic · 29/04/2021 23:33

I like Dex for short too.

Tanfastic · 29/04/2021 23:32

To be honest when I used this name it was 13 years ago and o knew nobody with the name. Since then I know of at least three dogs called it...so annoying. 😂

Lollypop4 · 29/04/2021 23:27

My beloved dog was called Dexter.
Named after the show 'Dexter'
There is a boy in Dc school called Dexter..., I can't but think of a dog when they call him it.

Hate it, sorry. Not my style at all.

Tanfastic · 29/04/2021 23:25

Love it, but I'm slightly biased 😉
