Stanley

I love Stanley.

This. And also, Dexter seems to be quite popular as a dogs name, plus it would be all kinds of wrong if the kid turned out to be a left hander.

Stanley still seems too old fashioned and not in a good way to me. Stan? Really?

Stanley without a doubt

I know a little dexter and a baby Stanley. Both cute names I think, and fairly unusual at the moment.

Stanley

Love both but think Stanley

Stanley

Stanley. Not keen on surnames as first names.

Love both. Marginally prefer Stanley.

I prefer Dexter, Stanley is too old fashioned.

Dexter, you’re either trying too hard to be hip or you’re 16.
Stanley is ok but has become more popular around here in the last 5yrs.

Stanley

I really like Stanley! I think a wee baby Stan is cute.

I don't watch the tv show Dexter and trust me I'm not 16 nor is there anything hip about me 😂😂😂

I just think they are both cute names. Thanks for all the comments so far

Stanley all day long!!!!

Neither are to my taste but they are very different names in my opinion.
Dexter is cooler but harder sounding. Stanley is old manish without being cute. If I was going to go old man I would at least want it to be cute old man.
Out of the two I would probably choose Stanley.

Stanley. I'm not over keen on it, but to be honest almost anything is better than Dexter.

Stanley , but I like the old names , I love Reginald, there is a little boy at my child’s Pre school and he gets called Reggie , I think it’s so cute.

I dare you to watch an episode op...

Stanley

Neither really, but if I had to chose then Dexter (Dexter feels a bit hipster for me, but Stanley is too dated and also ends in the cute ie sound which I'm usually not keen on).

If you like retro names, what about Raymond? (that has the cool nn Ray, similar to Dexter nn Dex)

Neither but if I had to chose, dexter. Stanley is too old-fashioned

Stanley. I teach lots of university-age Stanleys - it works. It doesn't feel old-fashioned if you know lots of teenagers with the name!
