At a push, Dexter. But tbh I really don't like either.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 17/03/2014 22:07

I'm not a fan of either - sorry.

DramaAlpaca · 17/03/2014 22:08

Dexter if I had to choose, but I don't like either tbh.

I do like Sam, but not Samson.

flipchart · 17/03/2014 22:08

Neither. Sorry.

5OBalesofHay · 17/03/2014 22:09

Neither. Sorry

Oscar?

I like Oscar, but not the other two, sorry.

DramaAlpaca · 17/03/2014 22:40

Oscar is better than the other two.

Beachfarmandzootoo · 17/03/2014 22:42

Oscar my favourite of those three ??

hunreeeal · 17/03/2014 23:43

Samson is great, a classic Biblical name, and Sam for short is nice. Makes a change from Samuel too.

Dexter is too surnamey IMHO.

liger · 17/03/2014 23:48

LOVE Samson. And it doesn't need to become Sam either.

smorticus · 18/03/2014 00:00

Dexter for a dog
Samson for a bigger dog!
I really like the name Oscar though.

Marcipex · 18/03/2014 00:02

Oscar for a cat.

Chloerose75 · 18/03/2014 00:11

Samson

squoosh · 18/03/2014 00:21

I love Samson, what a great name! Biblical but more interesting than the snoozefests that are Noah and Jacob.

Dexter is such a very smug name though.

AlternativeMoniker53 · 18/03/2014 00:26

Oscar, then Samson, Dexter last. Dexter really not at all but then plenty of people seem to like the surnames as forenames trend. What makes you happy?

CaipirinhasAllRound · 18/03/2014 07:43

Like both Dexter and Samson, would prob go with Dexter first.

Heard someone on the radio who had a Woody and a Samson, Woody is cute

Not Oscar, done to death

PunkAssMoFo · 18/03/2014 07:46

Too many oscars.
Otherwise two are great names, but I'd probably go for Samson.

Treaclepot · 18/03/2014 07:53

I know about 8 little oscars, for some reason it makes me cringe a bit. Think it will date very much, a bit like Jason. Similar to Dexter.

Prefer Samson.

BirthdayMuppet · 18/03/2014 11:00

Oscar by far the best of your suggestions, but so over used round here. Bit faddy and will date.

Gambia · 18/03/2014 11:24

Really like Samson. Also like Dexter too, but have a soft spot for Samson!

TheArticFunky · 18/03/2014 12:11

Dexter 8/10
Oscar 4/10
Samson 2/10

SS3J · 18/03/2014 12:59

I don't like Oscar at all. Dexter I quite like, Samson is ok.

RobinSparkles · 18/03/2014 13:03

I like Dexter best although it makes me think of Dexter Morgan.

minipie · 18/03/2014 13:15

Dexter definitely. Samson is a bit too biblical and macho for me.

Oscar is a nice name but done to death in my area.
