Is this name suitable?

[newboybecks]

First time poster,

My DW is 3 months pregnant a with our 2nd child.

Thinking about names and we have come up with one for a boy which we love but think others may question!

Is Dexter a suitable name for a baby boy, we fell in love with the name after watching the series of the same names out a seriel killer

Advice always welcome

I love the name. But I had a crush on Dexter Fletcher years ago, so am biased.

Ah,go for it! :-)

It is a lovely name, go for it!

I don't think it matters that it's the same as Dexter Morgan.

I'll always think of Dexter's Laboratory when I hear Dexter.

And for that reason alone I love it.

I think it's a good name. It's not at all weird, in fact I think it's in the top 100 now!

i am liking the feedback so far, Dexter is our only choice that my wife and I agree on

Not for me - I have known about 3 dogs called Dexter (and 1 rabbit as it happens) but no people, and I think that influences my thinking

It's a name I know irl so is perfectly useable for me. I like it! Not enough to use it myself but I do like it.

How exciting that you might have "the one"!

Love it.

Dexter is ok - wouldn't be a choice of mine but I tend to like biblical or old-fashioned names rather than modern ones.

If you like it, go for it!

I know more than one; it's getting quite trendy in some areas.

I wouldn't necessarily say he was named after a fictional serial killer though

Charlotte Church has a Dexter I think?

I know 2 Dexters under 3. Its a good name.

I quite like it.

Don't know any children called it but know one dog - and he's one cool dog!

It's fine

My only association is Dexter Fletcher

This was my fully prepped name for DS ten years ago but he didn't turn out to look like a Dexter. Regret it a bit now, suits his personality well. It's a great name

I really like it but sadly my DH doesn't so I can't use it
