I would choose Dexter.

acornsandnuts · 14/09/2017 22:17

I love Finn. Not so keen on Dexter, probably because of the serial killer series on TV.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/09/2017 22:21

Finn

MikeUniformMike · 14/09/2017 22:21

Finn

DramaAlpaca · 14/09/2017 22:21

Finn

SumAndSubstance · 14/09/2017 22:23

Dexter's a serial killer for me too. Finn.

SuperBeagle · 14/09/2017 22:28

Finn.

Dexter reminds me of the serial killer.

grufallosfriend · 14/09/2017 22:29

Finn is a person from Finland

Dexter is a cool name

elQuintoConyo · 14/09/2017 22:33

Dexter. Never watched the series.

Finn is a bit... floppy, for want of a better word! Sorry to all those Finns, but you did adk!.

Winteriscomingneedmorewood · 14/09/2017 22:34

I have a Fynn...

Sophronia · 14/09/2017 22:40

Finn

Ohyesiam · 14/09/2017 22:42

Dexter always sounds like a medicine to me.

user1487671808 · 14/09/2017 22:48

Finn for me. Dexter just isn't a name for a nice person.

purplecorkheart · 14/09/2017 22:50

Finn by far.

throughgrittedteeth · 14/09/2017 22:52

These were my two exact names! (well Dexter and Finley) we went for Finley/Fin Grin

DiegoMadonna · 15/09/2017 01:34

Dexter

punkpuffin · 15/09/2017 01:56

I have a Dexter (he was named because I watched the tv series while pregnant)

Abbylee · 15/09/2017 02:04

NOT dexter!! T.V. will hurt him.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 15/09/2017 06:32

Finn for the win. Smile

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 15/09/2017 06:36

Dexter. I like the name itself and it reminds me of dexter cows, cute if a little stroppy Grin Finn seems 'weak' to me, like it's not a finished name.

Ankleswingers · 15/09/2017 06:44

I love both Smile

Excellent name choices.

elQuintoConyo · 15/09/2017 07:06

Iam old. Dexter reminds me of Dex Dexter from Dynasty

not a bad thing Grin

PinkFlamingo888 · 15/09/2017 07:15

Dexter, yes he's a serial killer but he's a pretty cool one. He's also a scientist in Dexter's Laboratory and I think his friends are much more likely to make that link if any.

Yogagirl123 · 15/09/2017 07:18

I love the name Dexter. Hi

PandaCat · 15/09/2017 07:35

Dexter is a boy genius with his own laboratory in my world. I'd go with Dexter.
