Only a few weeks to go and we have finally decided on Duke for a boy and Dulcie for a girl yay :-) x

My inlaws had a sausage dog called Duke, he was an absolute vicious git with a giant superiority complex Confused

I quite like Duke. I know a cousins called Duke and Rocco and think they're nice names.

Poor kid.

Waltermittythesequel · 12/12/2015 21:57

Both awful.

But why ask if you've made up your mind?

Doublebubblebubble · 12/12/2015 21:56

Haha would seem I'm in the minority(as per) I quite like Duke definitely not keen on Dulcie though (potential to be called dull) xx

calzone · 12/12/2015 21:53

Duke is just awful. He will be the laughing stock of the staff room......

Dulcie is lovely.

Cliffdiver · 12/12/2015 21:50

How about Kingsley as a alternative to Duke?

whatisthisthing · 12/12/2015 21:40

I think Duke was the dog that belonged to Marlene and Boycie in Only Fools and Horses.

But if you love it OP, then it's your decision, not ours.

Cliffdiver · 12/12/2015 21:32

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said...

Dulcie - lovely

Duke - Dog, Only Fools etc.

Sorry, op

insan1tyscartching · 12/12/2015 19:49

Sorry I don't like either, Dulcie though is not as awful as Duke.

squoosh · 12/12/2015 19:48

Duke pr. Dook reminds me of John Wayne.

It's a name I'd laugh at in private. Sorry!

Nothighgaphere · 12/12/2015 19:43

Duke is a dog.

SirChenjin · 12/12/2015 19:31

Dulcie is lovely - very vintage.

Duke?? Putting that down to pregnancy hormones. Just don't - there are so many nice names out there to pick from.

sofiahelin · 12/12/2015 19:24

I know a marmaduke called duke for short. He's only 3 & already adults laughing nevermind kids yet. People are creul

Fairylea · 12/12/2015 19:17

You're brave! :)

I think both are awful sorry Blush

SilverOldie2 · 12/12/2015 19:15

Duke is hideous but fine I guess if you're happy for people to laugh and sneer at your son.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 12/12/2015 18:31

My parents have a dog called duke
Dulcie is nice though

TheoriginalLEM · 12/12/2015 18:31

neither are my cup of tea. duke makes me think of a right little bruiser. dulcie just no.

shutupandshop · 12/12/2015 18:19

Duke don't like

Dulcie sweet

SisterViktorine · 12/12/2015 18:12

Darcy and Luke sound like nice kids. Dulcie and Duke sound like they might be trouble.

celtictoast · 12/12/2015 18:10

I'm not going to comment as you have already decided the names.

JellyBaby26 · 12/12/2015 17:37

Duke is Marlene and boyce's dog on only fools...

Neither are for me and I don't think I'd appreciate being called either!

ScarlettDarling · 12/12/2015 17:34

Yikes...Duke is awful, sorry.

Not keen on Dulcie either, what about Darcy? Similar but much nicer.
