Honest opinions on Dexter

[jumpyjan]

I have a girls name list of about 20 but have really struggled with boys names.

I found Dexter in a baby name book and think I love it! Full middle name would be James.

DH thinks he likes it but is not sure. Its quite different and other names we are considering are much more popular - Harry etc.

Honestly what do you think of Dexter James?

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Dexter William is my fictional ds3s name. fabby. I like Dex/y for short too.

dexter is a mass murderer tv series.

also has a laboratory

I love it, and would have had it on the list for DS but it sounds a bit Marvel Comics when combined with our surname.

There was a character in Dynasty called Dex Dexter, but I don't suppose there's many saddos that remember that like me

It's ok imo

I did quite fancy the actor Dexter Fletcher when he was in Press Gang circa 1986, but then I saw him in the flesh a couple of years ago and the magic had gone - yet again not that relevent!

I think ots a really cool name.

I'm not keen sorry.

I liked it but DH said it sounded too American and that put me off. The Serial killer thing would have put me off too, if i'd known it then!

I hear the name Dexter and I think Sociopath!

It also seems a bit of a chav name around here so an all round no from me.

Love it. Was dd's 'boy' name...

it's ok, but I instantly think of the series. I also think there will be a gazillion of them, since many people choose names from tv.

I think its a completely fabulous name.

I really like it but wouldn't be brave enough to use it.

I have never heard of the tv programme, by the time he gets to be of an age where he/his friends will know about that sort of programme will be long gone!

I just think of press gang too - not a bad thing. And dexter cows (a breed) but I hang around farms too much!

I know someone with a Dexter,its a good name.

Love it. Love it. Love it. Wanted it for DS2 but was vetoed by DP. DS would really have suited it as well!

love it

Not hugely keen.

Loved press gang though!

I like it was one of my shortlisted names but with 4 girls never got a chance
think it sounds lovely dexter james DJ very cool

...interesting - it seems most of you like it!

I hadn't heard of the tv series until I googled the name earlier so don't think I will worry about that one.

I also don't know anyone called Dexter yet so that appeals although it may become more popular.

Loler - I also think of Dexter cows but thats because I live in the country! They are lovely cute little cows too though arnt they!

I still think I really like it but not sure what the family will think.

nice name for a shaggy dog

with interesting eyebrows

Dexter James is my sons name!

It really is

So obviously I think its a fab name!

We call him DJ and Dexxy.

my lovely Dexxy

Enchanted - your son is beautiful! What a cutie.

You are obviously a fan of the name then!

hmm i dont hate it, but dont love it either

it does go nicely with James

Me and My dh have had this conversation already. We like the name but we also watched and like the TV series. Anyway, Dexter may be the Bay Harbor Butcher but he only kills bad people.

is a lovely name but for some unknown reason reminds me of a Jack Russell
