How many Dexters do you know?

Really struggling to find a name for DC2. We already have one DS and his name was in the 300's based on last years baby name stats. Dexter is the one name we both like, it was number 70 last year with 955 babies called it. I just wondered how many Dexters you actually knew?

Only one - but it's not a child, it's a rabbit.

Onesleeptillwembley · 29/12/2013 14:52

None. Not surprised - it's not really a nice name.

Thanks all! Seems like a good option and there doesn't seem to be too many around. I don't mind about the dog names, our other choice was Rex Grin

I know one, under two and it was my son's nickname when he was at school because he's a bit of a geek and this cartoon was popular back then.
