Dexter vs Dex

I do not know what to think as this is a mixed bag. Like with Indigo whose common name was determined to be Indi - Dexter is referred to by two names Dexter and Dex. He is credited as Dex - some characters call him Dexter. But usually characters address him as Dex. But then websites and magazines cannot make their minds up either. Thought it best to start a discussion incase someone moves the article as a direct result of Indi Walker.Rain the 1 01:07, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say leave as. He gets called Dexter more than Indi gets called "Indigo".Conquistador2k6 26 June 2013 13:11 (UTC)

This is one is a bit more complex compared to Indi. I think Sid still calls him Dexter quite often, while others, such as April, Sashsa and Indi don't. Maybe break out the hits box? - JuneGloom Talk 15:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did the google thing; "Dexter" wins. Conquistador2k6 28 June 2013 10:32 (UTC)

Can you post the results? - JuneGloom Talk 13:26, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dexter: 21,700,000 Dex: 2,060,000

Oh, I thought you did the hits box. I'll do it now. - JuneGloom Talk 17:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go:

Source	Dexter	Dex
Google (without Home and Away)	21,700,000*	2,060,000
Google (with Home and Away)	567,000	52,700
Google News (last 30 days)	3	4
Google News (total archive)	10	7
Digital Spy	11	17
HighBeam	3	5
Daily Star	3	0
Daily Mail	0	7

* – Not all of those hits are about the character, there is a band/singer with the same name.

It's a bit mixed, but I'm leaning more towards Dex now. - JuneGloom Talk 18:03, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I still cannot decide. I looked in the 25th anniversary magazine and they refer to him as both Dexter and Dex. It seems to be a case of either or either. Even his official profile uses both. [4]Rain the 1 20:22, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
