William and Kate...bad idea?

We already have a William but have always liked Kate (would be Katherine). Given possible strong royal connections is this a bad idea?

Our surname sounds a bit like Duncan. Do you think that it's a problem that the t of Kate would blend into the surname? Kate Duncan

Other options could be:

Helena Duncan
Connie Duncan
Julia Duncan
Nell Duncan
Nancy Duncan
Corinna Duncan
Eliza Duncan
Rosie Duncan (Rosalind)

Any other suggestions welcome!

Have to agree, William and Kate would make me raise my eyebrows.

Would avoid names that end in d or t (Rosalind)

I like

Amelia Duncan
Clarissa Duncan
Esme Duncan
Iris Duncan

Was really hoping people wouldn't say that but you're probably right! Shucks.

No don't. Please. Sounds like you're a Hello -reading commemorative tea towel collector type with a charles and di plate hanging on your wall. EVEN if it's done in an 'oh so what' nonchalant shrug we never noticed the connection way.

I really like Juliet or Eliza and both would go well with your sur name.
