Duncan. or maybe not.

After going round in circles quite a lot, DH and I have come back to the name Duncan.

previous thread

It had come up before in random reading out of names from book and DH said no , I wasn't sure as I know a fairly unpleasnant 'Dunc'. (Although I don't see him much.)

It's come up again and he's now quite keen.

it would be Duncan Allan .

a) what do you think
b) any similar suggestions?

Cheers :)

i did think Andrew Allan a bit of a mouthful.

I guess they just blend a bit too much for me becoming a bit 'Rossallan' if you see what I mean. That might just be me of course :)

i see what you mean. :)

i suppose it won't be said all together too often.

hmm.

As an Evertonian, I say there are not enough Duncan's in this world,.go for it!!!

I've missed a couple of pages out, but am back to prod you into the Duncan corale

Duncan Donuts :)

thanks all.

unless we think of something else (or kreecher finds out where we live :) ) it looks like we're going with Ross... for now...

Noooooooooo. Ross is ghastly. Apologies to any mothers of Ross'. Duncan has it all.

Tbh it could change as we're not both desperate to have a wee Ross but it's the only one we've both considered so far.

if i get a goldfish I'll call it Duncan.

I quite like it, and have known some nice ones, but my sisters and I always refer to anyone called Duncan as Spunky Dunky. That may just be us though ...

that's you off my xmas card list. Spunky dunky indeed.
I wanted to call one of our cats Duncan. DD vetoed it and they have ridiculous names now.

i like Duncan as a cat name!

of course it could be a girl anyway. :)

Sorry, Kreecher. It's by no means the worst of the nicknames we give people purely on the basis of their names. If it makes you feel any better, I met an adorable PhD student called Duncan in the common room at work on Friday!

I wish I had called one Duncan. DD is intolerable sometimes.
I give people NN based on their behaviour or appearance.

I love the name Duncan and so wanted to call one of my DC it. DH didn't like it though, I have three DSs and none of them are called Duncan

Ross is a lovely name as well, was alo one that I loved but DH didn't.
