What do you think about the name Dexter? I am aware there is a drama or something on Showtime by this name. Is there too much of an association to get past? Also, what would you pair it with?

While I've seen the tv show, that is not why I like the name, just to be clear.

I love the name, but my husband says he's uncomfortable naming a child with the same name as a fictional serial killer (even a lovable adorable one).

He makes the connection and thinks others will as well and if Dex wasn't a serial killer it wouldn't bother him, but as it is...

So we're saving Dexter for our next pet, it was the only compromise we could come up with.

Yea, I am a little wary of that connection. Like I mentioned above, a lot of our friends are big fans of the show and I've seen it - it seems like a great show and the guy that plays Dexter reminds me of my dad when he was younger, which is weird and creepy lol.

It may very well be one of the few names we consider giving our future son, because our love is of the Name and not necessarily in connection with that show, but then again I do foresee having to again and again say, "yes, his name is Dexter. no, NOT after the show." Seems like we can come up with some connection or weird reason why people would pick at nearly every one of the names my wife and i mutually love. It's so annoying lol, I have to figure out where to draw the line in letting it matter I guess.
