Not really on our list, just saw it on a website and can't make up my mind about it. Opinions?

Errrmmm NO! That's all just no.

DD was at school with a Dustin.
His NN, unsurprisingly was Dustbin.
I prefer Duncan.

Dusty Bin. Dustin Hoffman. The shelf needs Dustin.

No, sorry.

Again - Dusty Bin and Dustin Hoffman.

How about Justin or Dunstan?

PestoPenguin · 08/05/2012 14:48

Sorry OP, I actually misread your thread title as dustbin and thought WTF?

Psammead · 08/05/2012 14:56

Love the replies! I am rather fond of it.

Arf @ Dustbin.

Rip, stop it. I do not, a not, nor ever will call a child of mine Duncan! End of.

Absolutely not! Dusty, Dust bin. Awful.

squoosh · 08/05/2012 14:59

Oh I really wouldn't.

somewherewest · 08/05/2012 15:07

No. Google Dustin the Turkey

DogEared · 08/05/2012 15:08

Hooverin'?

HandMadeTail · 08/05/2012 15:11

I read it as Dustbin as well, but I expect I wouldn't if it hadn't been MN.

redrubyshoes · 08/05/2012 15:14

It is right up there with Clinton........

Badgerina · 08/05/2012 15:43

Dustin. No.

Psammead Grin That's how I feel about Ptolemy Grin

Could come in for a load of stick at school - dustbin; doing the dusting etc etc.
Not keen on the name regardless of teasing isssue though.

rachel1970 · 08/05/2012 21:49

Not that keen on the name personally - but I wouldn't worry about the teasing. Lots of more common names are much more teaseworthy e.g. William -> Willy, Benedict -> Bendy Dick etc. that dustbin or dusting are quite harmless actually Grin.
