Remy or Dexter or something else

We have narrowed down our list to Remy or Dexter. This is our 2nd boy and our son's name is Archer Samuel. I'm not completely sold on either name yet but like each enough. What do you think and are there any other names that go with Archer you can think of?

If you named him Dexter, I think people would associate him with the show, especially bc your other son is Archer.

I don't know anything about the show, but I love the name Dexter. Remy to me is too feminine.

I prefer Dexter to Remy, but don't like that both Archer and Dexter have the same ending sound.  Perhaps Silas, Reid, or Thaddeus (nn Thad)?

This, except I love the show. So what if people think of the show? I think there was a kids show named Dexter too at some point. Or maybe Dexter was just a character in it.

It's a good name, and Remy is horrible for a boy or a girl.

I prefer Dexter.  My only suggestion I can think of is Felix.

Love Remy! Excellent french boy name! I think Dexter matches Archer better in style, but then they are both TV shows.

I think Remy fits better with Archer, but Dexter doesn't bother me (I like both of the Dexter shows).

Thanks for the suggestions.

I just keep going back and forth with the two, mostly because of all the suggestions mentioned.

We did think of Thad for our first son, maybe I'll re-visit that.

I liked Felix, H did not though.

Well, I would have to pick Dexter only because I have absolutely never heard of Remy for a boy...only for a girl. I would have never guessed it was unisex/non-gender specific.

Other suggestions for sibling sets

Archer and Sawyer

Archer  and Owen

Archer and Orrin/Orin/Oren/Orren

Archer and Orion

Archer and Ryder

Archer and Theo

Archer and Drake

DEXTER! Remy actually sounds more feminine to me.

I don't like Remy! I associate it with the character from Higher Learning! I also associate Dexter with the show and the shoe brand. I like the pp's suggestion of Silas or Thaddeus!

Remy to me is a girl's name... Who cares about Dexter being a show kids your LOs age will probably never even know the show existed!!!

Not a fan of either.  Remy makes me think of the rat in Ratatouille (sp?) and Dexter makes me think of the world's most awesome serial killer.  (Yes, I'm a fan of the show.)

I love the show Dexter you should name your girl Hannah Makay in tribute lol true Dexter fans will get my humor :) 

Anyway I am not a fan of either for a baby with your first son being Archer and then going with Remy you just seem like you like weapons lol

And Dexter to me is more of a dog name and my husband had a snake named Dexter

Love Remy!!! We are either going with Remy or Micah.... I guess technically either of those could be girls names but I've only heard on boys.

Those are the 2 names we were deciding between when we named our chocolate lab puppy!! So I don't like either for a human baby. But we did choose Dexter for the pup because we are HUGE fans of the show! He even has a red collar!
