Would this put you off using a name?

We were considering the unisex name Morgan for our DC3 probably more for a boy than a girl. It occurred to me tonight however that it may be a problem as our DS2 is called Dexter. So we'd have Dexter and Morgan, which considering the US t.v show about a series killer called Dexter Morgan I'm now thinking there's no way we can use the name!

I'm only 21wks gone so plenty of time to think of something else we like and it might not be an issue as we could be having a girl anyway. So am I right in thinking it would be a really bad idea to still consider this name?

Yeah I guess Morgan will be mistaken as a surname, plus there's the problem of unisex names in general as in people not knowing if its a boy or girl written down. DH still hasn't ruled it out as a name he'd consider but I think I've talked myself out of it.

I was surprised to see Dexter is now 70th in the top 100 names so not that unusual. Choosing boys names is so hard and for some reason I suspect I'm carrying a 3rd boy!

I'd never seen the programme so it wouldn't be a link for me, but it would bother me that other people would think the children were named for the programme if you get my drift! Also, to me, Morgan is a girl's name.
