Dexter

What do you think? We love the name but not sure what others think

Also, what’s a good middle name for dex?

I just popped over to the board to see if The name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] has popped up lately and here it is in the first spot!

We also love the name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and would also use the nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m] although not exclusively. I think it’s handsome, strong and playful at the same time. We have not been able to find anything that we both really love like this name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] only concern has been the association with The show [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and the character.

In the end, if we have a boy, this is very likely going to be his name, but I love to hear other’s thoughts!

We would use [name_u]Brady[/name_u] as a mn since it’s a very important family name. Although I’m also keen on [name_u]James[/name_u], another family name. We’d likely use [name_u]Brady[/name_u] as a middle for any name though…

I adore [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. I have [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] and [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] on my list. I have never watched the show but finally did some research. We live in FL and the show is based in FL, I felt it might be too much. [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] would be in my top 5 if it weren’t for that show. I also adore the nickname [name_m]Dex[/name_m].

It’s an ok name not my taste though!
I think I mainly think of the TV show even though I don’t watch it.

Ok now this is just weird. This is EXACTLY how my husband and I feel about the name. We can’t find anything else we love like [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]! And, to top it all off, my husbands name is [name_u]Brady[/name_u]! Haha how crazy

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] is a great name! [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Brady[/name_u] is nice.

I have loved the name [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] for a long time. It sucks about that show about the serial killer. However, I didn’t watch it, and it is over now.
I had [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] on my list, but you may not like the alliteration.

I think [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] is handsome, but I feel it only works for certain personalities. The show has given it some edge and helped it shake its ‘Poindexter’ vibe.

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Brady[/name_u] would be nice to honor dad. Or maybe…

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

I love [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]! We have our list narrowed down between [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] and one other name for our son. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is worried about the association with the tv show also. Otherwise I think he would definitely be the front runner. If we don’t use it for this baby, we will most likely use it if we have another boy in the future.
We’re thinking [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] so he can share his middle name with his dad. :slight_smile:

[name_m]How[/name_m] funny!!

Makes me think of the fictional serial killer, but I did like the show and I do think the name is okay.
