Oh my goodness he is way too beautiful to be called Duane. He is SO not Duane. What a gorgeous boy.

LunaMay · 22/04/2017 21:00

He is lovely, deserves better than Duane. Bit of a bogan name down here.

TakeASipOfDancingJuice · 22/04/2017 21:02

Love Asa, such a cool name. Or Ace, I like that too.

GreenPuffin · 22/04/2017 21:04

What do you think about Spencer?

Spencer is the best so far I think OP and he is gorgeous congratulations

EnjoyYourVegetables · 22/04/2017 21:07

He's so lovely. Congratulations!

Duane Eddy came to mind - twangy guitarist of old!

I think Asa has a better feel, it's both biblical and in fashion without being over used.

GreenPuffin · 22/04/2017 21:08

Oh Rory was also on our list?

Thanks Smile

Dwayne is the sort of name I make fun of because I can't imagine a parent ever looking at a sweet newborn face and thinking, "he looks like a Dwayne". See also Wayne, Shane, Gary, Terry.

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:09

I like Rory the best.

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:09

Oh and I love Spencer!

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 22/04/2017 21:11

Crikey! Not Duane!

I may be am definitely swayed by the fact that the local scumbags are twins named Duane & Shane (I kid you not). By scumbags I mean drug dealing, GBH, theft, extortion etc etc. I have no positive connections with the name sadly!

Asa I also read as Asda, although it's preferable to Duane any day.

Spencer is nice. I'd go with that Smile

Congratulations on your beautiful new baby Flowers.

His definitely a Rory. His absolutely beautiful, congratulations.

girlandboy · 22/04/2017 21:12

He's beautiful!
And he's definitely a Rory!

Squidgling · 22/04/2017 21:12

Oh I really like Rory! Can never use it due to it sounding stupid with surname Sad

Spencer is OK but not really keen. Prefer it to Duane and Asa though.

I would use Rory Smile

Gazelda · 22/04/2017 21:14

I have opinion on any of your names except that Duane would be a great big no from me.
But I have to say that your little boy is one of the most beautiful little bundles of gorgeousness I've ever seen! Congratulations!

Jokat · 22/04/2017 21:19

Oh wow what a gorgeous baby! I love the name Rory!

Richtea83 · 22/04/2017 21:19

Rory is a lovely name. Congrats!!

EmmaC78 · 22/04/2017 21:19

Rory is by far the nicest of all of your options.

HerRoyalNotness · 22/04/2017 21:26

He is beautiful!

Drop the the U and call him Dane

FrenchLavender · 22/04/2017 21:37

Rory is gorgeous and it suits him.

PavoReal · 22/04/2017 21:37
