ooh, we almost went with this. Instead can say we share a name with Kerry Katona's LO - Maxwell.

Tidey - see here for Poindexter, character in Felix the Cat

Tidey · 12/01/2009 23:26

Don't like the name at all, for some reason it sounds like a cat's name to me but congratulations to them anyway.

dexters lab

she must have seen this on television!

zazen · 12/01/2009 23:20

Here's hoping he isn't left handed!
He could then be called Sinister!

Fimbo · 12/01/2009 23:18

The baby's name is Dexter Lloyd Henson.

There is a mn'r with a Dexter.

LiffeyMermaid · 12/01/2009 22:35

I quite like it. Makes a change from Max, and you couldn't have Max and Ruby. Dex and Ruby.

Serial killer???????? Which one. My friend's son is Ted and until this second I haven't thought 'oh, serial killer!'.

NogginOfRum · 12/01/2009 22:27

I heard she had called him Alan?!

gigglewitch · 12/01/2009 21:56

I know what im thinking
"Dexter Church With Boughs Of Holly" etc

gigglewitch · 12/01/2009 21:56

erm, dexter church

(I'm sure there's a witty line in there somewhere but i cant quite think of one atm)

xxhunnyxx · 12/01/2009 21:56

My Dad's dog is called Dexter .
I was actually looking forward to hearing what she named him cos I love her daughter's name (Ruby), I was hoping it may give me some inspiration but I doubt that I'll be naming my baby Dexter.

LynetteScavo · 12/01/2009 21:56

I like it.

Nice and Welsh.

Sesi · 12/01/2009 21:55

Yuk, really don't like it.

Associations for me are the tv serial killer, or a dog's name, or a chav's name - take your pick but all not good!

CandleQueen · 12/01/2009 21:50

The birthing pool could be cooled and used as a v large wine chiller?

Dexter's Midnight Runners

wheresthehamster · 12/01/2009 21:27

kittywise · 12/01/2009 21:24

it's a daft name imo.
