Duane???

[GreenPuffin]

Yes or no? He's 4 days old

NO!!!

Duane - Nope
Asa- Nope

Ashe?

Duane is awful and Asa sounds a little too much like a-hole.

Rory is fine.

Rory is lovely.

Rory!

Love Rory

Knew a 'Duane' spelt like that and pronounced 'Doo-ane'. Not a nice boy but don't let that put you off.

Oh he is gorgeous! Congratulations!!
I'd go with Rory or Spencer. Asa I do like but could imagine the Asa hole nicknames. I know a Rory and he is lovely. Good luck choosing (just please not Duane. Just makes me think of south London council estate gang culture. Ooo no!)

Rory!!

Duane will always be Duane-off-Grange-Hill for me.

What a gorgeous baby! So handsome. Most definitely a Rory. Congrats xxx

Wow, he's beautiful. Congratulations.
How would you pronounced Asa, like Acer or asser?

Used to teach a Dwayne and he had brothers called Shane and Wayne. Definitely a no from me.

Ooh I. Just saw Rory, so perfect for him. Yes yes yes!

Yes - Rory

Yes to Rory.

Rory, or Francis?

please none of the others.

Most beautiful baby ever. Congrats OP!

A Rory from me.

Asa is a million times better!!

Oh my Lord. OP he is gorgeous. I have to say he looks like a Rory. Gorgeous!

Oh my word your baby is absolutely gorgeous!

It really is up to you but I would say, please please don't name him Duane or Asa!!!

Rory or Spencer are much better names, or as one other person said- Dane would be better than Duane.

If you take a copy of this thread OP and show it to your son in 18 years he will be forevermore grateful to MN for dissuading you from naming him Duane, Frances, Asa or Spencer.

Rory is a lovely name and suits the gorgeous wee man.

Beautiful baby! What about Seth or Arlo? I think he looks like a Seth

I like Duane and it reminds me of Duane Ladejo who was really cool

We would have pronounced it Ace - er.

Thanks for all the comments
