My husband loves the name Dexter. Dex for a NN. IM not sure how I feel about it. To me if feels dated and old but yet unique. What do you think.

    I've told him I like Declan and Daxton. But he hates those names. I'm thinking of just naming him Dex lol

    I love Dexter but my husband vetoed it. Declan is a great name too.

    I'm just not sure how to pronounce Declan. Is it dee-clan or dek-lan

    DH and I had this debate for months, and ultimately we landed on Declan NN Dex.

    I like Dexter. It does make me think of the show of course. But that doesn't ruin it for me. I know I am in the minority on this, but I hate the name Declan. Idk why, I just do.

    I much prefer Dexter to Declan and Daxton. I also have a distaste for Declan, just don't care for it..has an ugly sound to me. And Daxton seems made up? What about Paxton?

    I just can't get over the show where he kills people. But not a bad name.

    The thing is we really like the NN dex. And I can't remember the site on the top of my head but you type in a nickname and it gives you names for that nickname. And it pulled up Dexter Declan and daxton. I'm also not a big fan of Declan.
