Dexter Henry Lorcan- I like Henry and Lorcan (only a little), but Dexter isn't good at all, IMO.
Frank Harlan James- Frank is horrible. It reminds me of a hot dog or an old man. Harlan is bad, IMO, but James is fine.
Terrible names!

I'm not a big fan of Dexter and I prefer Francis to Frank but overall I like them. They're offbeat, but not the typical bizzaro names we've come to expect from celebrities.

Why do celebs always come up with the weirdest names?
What happened to ordinary names? Why all this weirdness?

Maybe he--perish the thought--likes those names. Maybe he has older male relatives he wanted to honour. Maybe he likes the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
And maybe those names aren't actually all that weird. I can think of several famous by each of those (save Lorcan).

Unusual name = more publicity.
It's as simple as that.

I don't really like either name, but it's refreshing to see relatively normal baby names used by a celebrity.
I LOVE Dexter --- I so wanted to use it for our son but felt we either had to be super stars or just "cool" people. But alas, both husband I are and were total nerds and naming our boy Dexter would probably just fuel the streo-type
Oooh, I love Dexter! James and Lorcan are nice, too. Frank, Harlan, and Henry are all nms, but all together the names are very good. :)

I adore the name Elvis.
His real name is Declan Patrick Aloysius btw...
I just learned that while looking for more information about the babies. Elvis is just a stage name.

I think he should've stayed w/ Declan!

I like them.
The first names are fabulous. I love Harlan and James, and Lorcan's fine.
I think Harris would fit better than Henry, but then, I really dislike Henry.
