Duncan

[MrsLeopard]

We are due our 2nd baby next month, first baby went 3 days without a name before we settled on a classic name. With the new baby DH keeps saying he really likes Duncan as a name. We are Scottish and I was at school with a few Duncan but don't know any under 20 now and I just can't make my mind up if it's hideous or not! If it was purely up to me I wouldn't consider Duncan but it does go well with our surname and our first child's name.
What are others opinions? I really don't want it to be a few days after baby is born and we don't have a name so I just give in due to exhaustion . This is a really important decision which I need to get right

I like Duncan, but don’t love it and wouldn’t use it myself. If you’re not onboard with the name, then I’d keep looking.

Aw it’s a great name. All the Duncans I’ve ever met have been lovely people.

Sorry, not keen, would group as middle-aged along with Douglas and Fraser and Colin. There are so many nicer Scottish names (if it's Scottish you're after).

My brother is a 36 year old Duncan (we have Scottish heritage) and really suits his name. I don't know any others ! But it's a good strong name 👍🏻

Always really disliked this name. Not sure if male names can be frumpy, but that's how I view it.

It shortens to Dunk, which would put me off. I prefer Declan, but it's not Scottish.

I have lived in Scotland 15 years and have never met a Duncan. I love it.

Love this, especially as you're in Scotland!

It's a good strong name and one due a revival, surely?

I don’t like it at all especially for a baby or toddler.

Got a Duncan grandson. Love it. Dark Warrior.

I like it!

Duncan from Blue! PJ and Duncan!

I don’t know any under 35, but it’s not a horrible name. Strangely I don’t think Scottish immediately, more 90/00s cheeky chappy!

I really dislike it, sorry. I think it's ugly sounding.

Really like it

I like it
I think Duncan Scott
Maybe he'll be a good swimmer

I have an early 20s Duncan and love the name. It wasn't what we had originally chosen, but a case of 'He came with a name' and is definitely is our 'Dark warrior'.

Great name! Definitely due a revival. My favourite Scottish boys name is Gregor so I’ll throw that in the ring.

Duncan ??? Are you birthing an old man .

I really like it! I know three of primary school age so may be starting a comeback. Also a regal name, if that influences you.

Should add I'm in Scotland.

This is hilarious!! I love this man I've never met!!

Sorry OP, really don't like it and there's no flexibility with it either.
What about Douglas, Fraser or Alistair?

I really like it but if you're not happy, how about Douglas or Dougal?

I really don't like it.

It reminds me of that bald swimmer (that's not the reason I don't like it!)

Yes any of these over Duncan 🤢
