Duncan or Alasdair?

[snapdragon99]

Which name do you prefer - Duncan or Alasdair?

I love both

PS don't let anyone tell you that spelling of Alasdair is wrong, it is correct and turns if from a boring Alistair to a gorgeous Alas-dair

Alasdair

Definitely Alasdair, Duncan feels quite "old" imo.

If you are in England you may get people spelling Alasdair with a t.

I like both names though.

Love both. However I'm not keen on the NN Ali which is inevitable with Alisdair so Duncan for me.

My vote for Alasdair (that spelling - Scots Gaelic equivalent of Alexander) as it's the name of someone near and dear to me.

Alasdair. It's what dtd would have been called if she had been a boy.

Definitely Alastair. Really don't like the name Duncan.

Oops Alasdair

Alasdair.

The only Duncan I know is a tosser so that may have influenced my opinion

Duncan

I prefer Duncan, of the 2.

I prefer Duncan. Good strong solid name.

Duncan.

Alasdair - love it.

Alasdair.

Alisdair. Duncan donuts???

Alasdair, although I prefer it with a T. I disagree that all Alastairs are nn'd Ali. I've known 3 and none have been shortened. Ok so it's not a massive straw poll, but just saying!

Prefer Alasdair but Duncan's lovely too.

I like them both. Very nice names.

Maybe it's a regional thing, I know 4 blokes who have the nn Ali from Alistair/Alasdair

Alasdair

I went to school with an Alastair. He got called Algy.

The Alasdair I know is called Ally by his mates/ work, but he still is and always will be Alasdair in the family, too beautiful a name to shorten IMO. It was a lovely name for a baby, toddler, little boy, teenager, grown man. In England and he does have to live with people mis-spelling it but that's not a big deal to him.

I like both.
