Dexter

[ICantThinkOfAUsernameH]

What do you think of this? I like Teddy and Harrison but Dexter is our favourite and don't know of any others in the area. Those we've mentioned the name too aren't keen.

I love it!

Ds was going to be Dexter, we were torn between two names. I gave dm the final decision and she went for the other name.

Dexter, a million times better than Teddy.

I know a very cool little Dexter. When I first met him, I didn't like the name. I thought it was a bit, I don't know, like calling someone 'cool guy' or 'dude' rather than an actual name. But now I've got used to it I really like it.

Love Dexter. Unfortunately DH is a fan of the TV show which somewhat put us off using it,but then we had a girl anyway so wasn't an issue!

A Serial Killer!

I prefer both Harrison and Teddy!

I do like Harry more than Harrison, but prefer Teddy to both :)

Dexter is still okay :)

Dexter is certainly on my list. I also have Felix and Archer. We have a grey kitten called Teddy, so can only picture him for that name. I can't stand Harrison, sorry.

I prefer Harrison. Not keen on Dexter or Teddy.

I like Harrison best of the three.

My friend has just named her son Dexter. It suits him and it's a lovely name.

Thank you for your opinions :)
I expect too be flamed for this ~ my childhood cat that recently died was called Dexter which is how I thought of it (love the programme too secretly), Teddy I liked for a girl but heard of boys called of it, and if I say why I like Harrison I'll "out" myself.

Sorry I rushed that message!

Love it, great choice.

It's DS2's Middle name. I think it might suit him more than his first name tbh, but I can't imagine what my mum would say if I seapped what I called him now!

I don't like Dexter at all. It sounds too "trying to be cool/trendy". Not crazy about your other names either but would go with Teddy from the list. Although I think Ted is far, far nicer. I'd also only use Ted/Teddy as a nn for Edward.

I have one he's two and a half. Have only ever had positive comments on his name

Don't do it! His nickname will be Sexy Dexy all through school.

I know one and he's brilliant.

He's not yet been called Sexy Dexy, but the boy called Rex is suffering with the girls yelling "Sexy Rexy" at him.

No, sorry.

If DC1 had been a boy, Dexter is the name we would have used. Such a fab name, and Dex is a brilliant nickname.

Haven't come across one IRL either.

I know a couple of Harrisons and don't like the name.

I know one Dexter, he is a lovely lovely young boy and really suits his name. I wanted Harrison for one of my boys, but my DD vetoed it, it would've suited my ds as much as his actual name does.

I don't like it. Too trendy

Ahh mixed reviews, I suppose most names do?

wasn't dexter st.jock a character 'dick swinging' on eddie murphys comedy tour in the 80's. Can't remmebr the name of the tour now though. Got to say that is going back a few years! Good luck. Teddy is sweeter out of them I think :)

I have a Dexter Miles aged ten. He suits his name perfectly and was born before the TV show! Never been another one at his school.

There are lots of Dexters these days x
