if you like em go for it - they aren't that similar imo and if they are who cares?

No, I think they go nicely together and are both nice names in their own right.

I love those, and I think the fact that they're slightly similar makes them even nicer. Devon is inspired.

Yes, they sound like pandas at an American Zoo.

I like Dexter on its own though. Devon is OK but a bit androgenous.

Pandas???

I think the opinions on 'Devon' are a bit late in coming!

...but, for what it's worth, I like it lots

Dexter is sweet but I am watching the new ITV series Dexter, where Dexter is a serial killer so that colours it for me at the mo!

I think they are ok.

But then I have a Elizabeth and Alexandra who we call Lizzie and Lexie.

Bigbadmouse. Yes, after my post I looked at the OP's name and I can tell you I felt like the MONKEY.

Devon is a boy.
I'd not heard the name before (only Devon Malcolm the cricketer) but since having him I've been told of 2 Devon's that are girls so yes it is androgenous.

Not seen the ITV series Dexter.
I once worked with a Dexter who was the sweetest guy
