Duke?

[cupcake19992110436247]

I've been thinking about the name Duke.. and i was wondering what everyone else thought on the name?! xx

I think our neighbour's dog is called duke.

I'm loathe to be too unkind on these threads but Duke is a dogs name IMO.

Not to my taste at all...sounds very American cowboy..

Can you imagine yelling it across a crowded supermarket? If that doesn't make you shudder, then go ahead

In with pochemucka I'm afraid.

He'd also need to be pretty butch to pull it off.

Not keen tbh. Very american sounding. And my DH has helpfully pointed out that it 'rhymes with puke'.

thanks i will think about what you have said

I really hate it, I"m afraid. Normally I refrain from commenting on names I don't like, but this one has pulled me out of my torpor.

As bad as Earl.

Pochemuchka is right
It is definitely a dog's name

I'd expect a labrador.

Didn't Giulianna Ranic call her baby Duke recently? I think it's nice! But I don't think you will get a good reaction from muumsnet to it

I love it. I have a friend who's DS1 is Duke and DS2 is Carter. V cool.

Luella didn't she call him Edward?

American and old-fashioned.

Only if he has a sibling called Wyatt.
Preferably a girl.

Anyone know the song "Duke of Earl"?

But seriously, speaking as an American, you don't want to name your child after Uncle Duke from Doonesbury...

Sorry, but Duke is terrible! I wouldn't even give that name to my dog!

Awful

German Shepherd name

Very creative. 1/10.

John Wayne!

Reminds me of Dukie from The Wire.

Ended up a crackhead....

I don't like it, to me it's like calling him "mr" or "dr" it's a title to me rather than a name.

John Wayne as well, lots of get off your horse and drink your milk jokes. I know I'm old.

Don't like it, sorry.
