Baby Names

WDYT? Dexter?

Too "serial killer-y"? Ala Dexter Morgan? Liked the name before the show became popular,but DH and I are fans of the show and little worried friends and family will think we did it just because of the show. Not dead set on the name, up for suggestions :) TIA

Re: WDYT? Dexter?

  • I like it, too, but the serial killer thing is a real downer.

  • I'd still use it if I really loved it. It's a popular show now, but won't be around forever.

  • This. Shows come and go so I wouldn't stress about it.

     Oops - didn't use the quote button - ditto what princess said... 

    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

    Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

  • Love it!

    I met a tiny baby named Dexter last month and he was soooooo cute.

    I love the show too, and while the connection bothers my husband, it doesn't bother me.

  • I considered this name as well, and the idea came from the show. I never thought it was strange, I just like the name and wouldn't have considered it other wise. I vote yes.

  • I really like it, and it would be on my list if a close friend didn't have a little two year old Dexter.  He's also adorable, so that makes the name even cuter.
  • I love it.  MH won't even consider it because of the show.

  • Love the name and the show which won't last forever so I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Actually the first thing I thought of is "Dexter's Laboratory" my little brother was obsessed with that cartoon growing up.

    This.

    And Dexter is a vigilante, and sweet in his own way :) Dexter was actually a top pick for us, but I have a Max and we decided Max and Dex were way too close.

    I say use it!

  • Thanks everyone!! Good to know that most of you wouldn't think I was a complete weirdo for naming my LO Dexter :
  • Love it. Agree with other posters ... the popular show won't be on forever. Go with it if you really love it.
