Dexter is a cool name. Anyname with an 'X' in It'seems so cool! Dexter's Labratory is a cartoon on'the cartoon n'twork. It won't last for a nickname and only then for a few people who watch it. Brian Keith of the punk bank "The Offspring" changed his name to Dexter Holland. I guess he felt It'sounded cool, cool enough for a punk band leader, even. Dexter was valedictorian of his school, received a masters in molecular biology and was a candidate for his Ph.D, but declined to continue pursuit of his highly successful punk band. He is n't only a pilot, but has earned his In'trument Flight In'tructor rating (CFII), making him really cool and has his own Beechcraft Bonanza. I imagine how complex and diverse all individuals who are named Dexter are, with all of their inter'sting lives and hidden'talents, waiting to be shared with the rest of us. What a cool name and if it is yours, well I sure say you are too, then.

I love the name. But Dexters Laboratory is n'thing compared to the HBO show ("Dexter") about a serial killer of serial killers. It's a good show but doesn't help the name Dexter much.

I was born in Georgia in 1971 and my name is Dexter. During my childhood there was one other boy in'town with this name. It remains a rare choice for parents. Now, my name'sake is used more often but, rarly pronounced correctly. I find that people pronounce it as Dextra or Dexters. My 14 year old daughter calls me Dexter's Laboratory or Poindexter. Funny huh❤️ Oh, I find that most Dexter are n't ner's most seem to have lots of cofidence in'the'selves and rather outspoken. Seems every major professional sport has at least one Dexter.
