The name Dexter for boys in Scotland

This page shows the Dexter (boys) figures from the National Records of Scotland babies' first names table, which covers every year from 1990 to 2025. Each row below is one year in which Dexter was recorded as a first name for boys in Scotland: the number of babies given the name that year and the name's rank among Dexter's first-name rivals that year — that is, the rank the source table itself gives the row, among all first names for boys that year.

The record for Dexter for boys sums every one of those rows. Across the years covered, Dexter appears in 24 of them, from 1990 to 2025, with 314 babies in total. Its largest single year was 2012, when the table records 36 babies given the name, at rank 160 among all first names for boys that year.

Figures cover every year from 1990 to 2025; years in which the table records no row for Dexter for boys are simply not listed. The publisher suppresses names with a total count of 2 or less in Scotland, so no figure here stands below 3.
