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?

None

mervynmouse · 31/12/2013 22:01

None in real life, I very nearly named DS Dexter ten years ago though. Still like the name and DS reckons it's cooler than the one I did use of course!

HappyTalking · 31/12/2013 22:01

I know one. Aged just under one year.

JingleJohnsJulie · 31/12/2013 22:03

None.

nomoreminibreaks · 31/12/2013 22:04

Three - two 2yos at playgroup who will be in the same class at school and one who's parents picked it deliberately to be a very obscure name, which it doesn't appear to be!

sonlypuppyfat · 31/12/2013 22:11

It says it all when the only dexters are dogs and serial killers.

dustarr73 · 31/12/2013 22:53

None and i loved Dexter as one of my boys names.We didnt call him that.I think its one of those names that seems popular but its not.I have a Dylan where i am it barely dented the baby name 100 but every boy was called Dylan that year.If ,better you like it go for it.Better you go for a name you like than one you dont.Anyway once their born they either look like the name or they dont
