Dexter?

[victoriassponge]

Not sure if its pretentious or not...

I don't think that it would be pretentious but I also don't like it at all

I like it

Love it love it love and would use it if a very close friend hadn't. :)

I like it but it does make me think serial killer

I love it and wanted it as my ds's first name but we couldn't agree so I've got a Samuel Dexter

oo yes, serial killer. Also a bit dorky, really, like Poindexter.

Do you want to name your baby after a breed of cattle?

Love it , was on my list but vetoed by Dh
The only Dexter is far from pretentious.
A lovely smiley, genuine guy

The only Dexter I know

Serial Killer. Sorry .

My DS is called Dexter, not that it's important but pretty much everyone comments on how cool his name is. Fab name IMO .

Not pretentious but not very nice IMHO. Getting popular too.

Meant to add that DH and I get asked if he's named after the programme (we love it but no, he's not) but I figured that the kids at school aren't going to be making comments so it's a non issue really. I'm really trying to get him into dexters lab though .

Definitely not pretentious,but not a nice name either imho.I hate it. It has an unpleasant sound.

He's a nice serial killer tho

I like it. Its not pretentious.

The opposite of pretentious. Naff.

I know a couple of little boys called Dexter. I think it's quite popular now... My theory is a lot of Mumswho were Press Gang fans are having boys now along those lines we had Fletcher as a possible for our son.

Freelance I'm a couple of years too young for Press Gang (watched repeats) but do have a bit of a soft spot for Dexter Fletcher. Annoyingly we do like the name Fletcher but if we ever had another DS I don't think we could do it.

Hmm interesting comments thanks. Had made the press gang connection but not the serial killer - showing my age!

Our Dexter Miles is gorgeous! Chubby cheeks and freckles! Calls himself Dex as he now feels 'grown up' (aged 7) !!

I wanted to call my GSD puppy Dexter, but was vetoed.

Not sure that will help you either way, sorry.

Great name - i'd use it if we were having a boy. Defo not pretentious (moi?!)

I agree with most here it seems - to me it's either a breed of cow or Dexter Fletcher. Not dissimilar really...
