Opinions on Dexter? Other suggestions?

I’m having the hardest time finding names that I love for the son we’re expecting in [name_u]August[/name_u]. My daughter’s name is [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Mikaela[/name_f], and finding a name that works well with it is proving to be difficult!

Our current top is [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. What do you think? Does it work well with [name_u]Piper[/name_u]? We’re thinking either [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] or [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] McKay. My husband loves it and I really like it too… but more and more I get nervous of what people might think when they hear it – I know that shouldn’t matter… but it does worry me.

I’m also the type of person that has to see my baby before I can actually know if it’s the right name, so I’d love to have some other options just in case…

Any other suggestions to go with [name_u]Piper[/name_u]? I like unpopular names and I’d prefer names that are more than one syllable, but it’s not a deal-breaker. :slight_smile:

Thanks for any and all help! The whole thing is majorly stressing me out!

I really like [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]! I’d consider naming my son that, but it’s my husbands best friends name. I think [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] McKay is cute. Especially with sister [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_f]Mikaela[/name_f].

Such a brilliant name, love it!

I really like it. [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] McKay would be my favourite.

I like [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] a lot! I think it can be playful or sophisticated. Very handsome. I like [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] [name_m]Scott[/name_m].

[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] gets a thumbs up from me! I like both middles, but if forced to pick one combo I would choose [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] McKay.

Thanks everyone!! I’m really relieved!! In my gut, I think this is his name, but I’m having a hard time committing. Thank you so much for the reassurance that I’m not crazy, and that it actually is a nice name!
