Name Game

Reaction from friends and family about Dexter's name:

"Sounds like a soap opera doctor."

"Sounds like a private eye."

"You really should consider using it as a middle name."

"Oh, you must be jazz fans."

"Will you have to rename him if he turns out to be left-handed?"

"Have you seen that HBO show?"

The answer to the last question is no, but now that there are several billboards promoting this program, we are very keen to watch it.

Jazz fans out there usually ask us if we named him after the sax player, and the answer is also no. We liked the name and in choosing a second name, we decided on Gordon, just because.

For the record, Dexter is the name of his paternal grandfather. We thought it would be nice to honour grandpa in this manner. Besides, we thought the name was cool so there you go.
