Which do you prefer?

[Mummytobe05]

Dexter or Stanley?

I'd be grateful for any opinions 😊. Thanks

Stanley definately! I know a Stanley who is about 8 now, baby Stan was the cutest!!! Also know a dexter but to me, Stanley just had the edge!

Both lovely names
I'd probably pick Stanley

How about Sidney for a name that's lower in charts

Stanley but I don’t like either

Stanley

Dexter
I always think of Stanley being the name of a huge bore.

I prefer Stanley to Dexter... it’s only as old fashioned as Arthur, Archie, Albie et al which are all very popular.

Sidney, as mentioned above is also nice, similar feel.

Definitely Stanley!

Thanks everyone looks like Stanley is the favourite I still can't decide but I have 4 months to ponder it

Stanley is lovely

Stanley, then you don't think of psychopaths every time you hear the name.

Stanley is lovely.

Stanley, no contest. Dexter is awful.

@Mummytobe05 love them both but Stanley is my absolute favourite name!! We were 💯 going with that if we were having a boy! X

Also I lm watching dexter now and it wouldn't put me off!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you I'm still none the wiser 💙

I used to teach a Stanley in a nursery class. I don’t know why, but the other children couldn’t cope with the Stan bit so they all called him Stamley. He was very cute.

Stanley by a mile. And I don't even like Stanley all that much.

Oh dear that's a humdinger of a pair. Stanley, only because Dexter really is unpleasant. Stanley is just a bit clunky.

I really like Dexter! I suggested it for ds2 but dh wasn't a fan.

@Ithinkhedidit I have more names I like but my OH has said no to all but these two 🙄

I'm not a fan of Dexter so Stanley is marginally better. But I dislike Stan so that would rule it out for me (flashback to Eminem song)

Dislike Dexter. Prefer Stanley but even better for the same type of name Sidney.
