@diddlediddle we do really like Max as well but we can't use it unfortunately

Love it, my 11 year old son is called Dexter. It's not too popular and he's the only one in his school.

And he is named after the tv show we loved Watching Dexter when I was pregnant.

Sinister..

Reminds me of Frankie Howerd marching the army in Up Pompeii!

OP-my friend’s cat is called Dexter! Lovely cat, lovely name. I do hear it more on animals than people though-I think that would put me off.

I really like it. It's a bit different but not too weird. I don't know any boys or dogs called that Smile

Serial Killer

Dog and tv show

Dog and serial killer jump into my mind as soon as I hear Dexter. Both max and Dexter are dogs we had 15 and 25 years ago.

Serial killer and high-stress cartoon scientist

SkiingIsHeaven · 02/05/2021 20:20

Really sorry but I think either dog or lovable serial killer.

I have a Dexter Miles aged 16. Born before the TV series! Never had another one all the way through school and I couldn't imagine him with any other name! Team Dexter all the way-he calls himself Dex now he's older, Dexie when he was younger.

I've never seen the tv show but from what I hear he's quite a nice serial killer so it doesn't put me off - I also know of 2 dogs called Dexter but I also know dogs called Dave Gary and Eric 😂😂😂 I think it's awesome when dogs have proper people names

I love it so much. One of my friends has a 5 year old son named Dexter - we usually call him Dex. Suits him and I never think of the TV show despite having watched it all. Go for it!!

takemetomiami · 03/05/2021 07:52

To me it's a dog name, or the name of a serial killer.

toomuchfaster · 03/05/2021 08:25

My nephew is Dexter and he is awesome!! It suits him completely and I don't think of serial killers, dogs or laboratorys now.
