Dexter for a girl? Duke for a boy?

Dianne Keaton (the actress) named her adopted daughter Dexter and her adopted son Duke! I feel sorry for those kids as those names are horrible and will result in teasing. Does any one like these names?

    Nope!

    Dexter for a boy is bearable, but for a girl?

    Duke? Honestly? Maybe her next daughter will be Duchess?

    What names do you like then?

    these are the worsteee names ever. Duke is a name for a dog. And dexter reminds me of dexters labradory. She adopted children not pets. I hope for their sake those kids are home schooled.

    Dexter is the name of some nerdy boy who is like 5 in some cartoon named Dexter's labratory. And Duke is a dog name that ryhmes with puke.

    Why can't people just give thier kids unique names without them being crazy? There are plenty of butiful unique names!

    Dexter is a HORRIBLE name for a boy, it's even worse for a girl.

    Duke is okay....for a pet.

  • Any girl named Dexter should be allowed to charge child abuse on her mother for that...
