Below is a link to my column on Dexter. As you will see as a given name this has been much more common in the USA than the UK and its regular use started out in Massachusetts. Timothy Dexter was a fascinating character; there are multiple videos about him on YouTube for anyone who's interested in more information. He often gets listed as the luckiest person in history because business decisions he made that looked stupid on the surface nevertheless made him lots of money. I do think some of the examples people give, like sending cats to Caribbean islands, may not have been stupid at all.
