Oh wow what a gorgeous baby! I love the name Rory!

Gazelda · 22/04/2017 21:14

I have opinion on any of your names except that Duane would be a great big no from me.
But I have to say that your little boy is one of the most beautiful little bundles of gorgeousness I've ever seen! Congratulations!

Squidgling · 22/04/2017 21:12

Oh I really like Rory! Can never use it due to it sounding stupid with surname Sad

Spencer is OK but not really keen. Prefer it to Duane and Asa though.

I would use Rory Smile

girlandboy · 22/04/2017 21:12

He's beautiful!
And he's definitely a Rory!

DearMrDilkington · 22/04/2017 21:12

His definitely a Rory. His absolutely beautiful, congratulations.

Crikey! Not Duane!

I may be am definitely swayed by the fact that the local scumbags are twins named Duane & Shane (I kid you not). By scumbags I mean drug dealing, GBH, theft, extortion etc etc. I have no positive connections with the name sadly!

Asa I also read as Asda, although it's preferable to Duane any day.

Spencer is nice. I'd go with that Smile

Congratulations on your beautiful new baby Flowers.

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:09

Oh and I love Spencer!

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:09

I like Rory the best.

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:08

Dwayne is the sort of name I make fun of because I can't imagine a parent ever looking at a sweet newborn face and thinking, "he looks like a Dwayne". See also Wayne, Shane, Gary, Terry.

Thanks Smile

He's so lovely. Congratulations!

Duane Eddy came to mind - twangy guitarist of old!

I think Asa has a better feel, it's both biblical and in fashion without being over used.

ColourfulOrangex · 22/04/2017 21:05

Spencer is the best so far I think OP and he is gorgeous congratulations

What do you think about Spencer?

TakeASipOfDancingJuice · 22/04/2017 21:02

Love Asa, such a cool name. Or Ace, I like that too.

LunaMay · 22/04/2017 21:00

He is lovely, deserves better than Duane. Bit of a bogan name down here.

AliceKlar · 22/04/2017 20:56

Oh my goodness he is way too beautiful to be called Duane. He is SO not Duane. What a gorgeous boy.

Squidgling · 22/04/2017 20:47

Not keen on either name personally (I keep on reading Asa as asda) but just wanted to say how lovely your baby is! Chubby little cheeks and all that hair Smile Congratulations!

FrenchLavender · 22/04/2017 20:28

Duane is awful. Look at that beautiful baby - how could he possibly be called Duane? Shock

I'm not wild on Asa either. What about Asher?

Or, um.... Dewi. Damien. Bay. Or Solomon. I think he looks like a Solomon.

countingpigs · 22/04/2017 20:23

Looks like an Asa to me - lovely name!!!

Congratulations Smile

GuinessPunch · 22/04/2017 20:22

Love Asa. Duane is a shambles.

Fruitcocktail6 · 22/04/2017 20:21

How sweet! Sorry but he is not a Duane at all

LettuceMash · 22/04/2017 20:21

Asa!

Duane pipe is a shocker.

pissflaps45 · 22/04/2017 20:19

No. It sounds chavvy. I have a boss in work called Dwayne and people always sneer at it
