DH and I were throwing around name ideas and he's stuck on Duncan for a boy. Thoughts?

Nms at all, seems like a pet name.

Duncan Hines. But I've seen worse. The nickname Dunkin' Donuts might put me off. Could be the best name for a pastry chef ever.

Donuts.

Even though it's not spelled the same, it's the first thing I think of.

Manderlin923 · May 2014

Aw, I like it

plunderb · May 2014

I like it. Worked for Veronica Mars, so ok with me.

Though I do agree that anyone named Duncan who lives in the Northeast runs a risk of being nicknamed "Donuts" by his friends.

Love Duncan!

alieb82 · May 2014

nms. I agree with daisyblinks that it has a dorky vibe.

LadyXaverian · May 2014

I love it, but I am biased: It is my Dad's name and our name for a boy, if we have one.

Zimger · May 2014

I LOVE it! It clashes horribly with our last name or I would have given it to DS 2 in a heartbeat.

BethPSU · May 2014

I can't picture this name on a grown man for some reason. There is nothing wrong with it, but it just seems like a cutesy little boy name to me.

ashiscute · May 2014

I sort of think of it as a dog name too. It's not bad though. I don't really think Duncan Donuts is a big deal or a bad nickname.

alohamora · May 2014

It's just ok for me.

I give it an "eh" don't love it, don't hate it.. Sounds a bit like a soap star

MississippiCatfish · May 2014

Mmm, I like it.

WashingtonQueen · May 2014

I like it.

Spring78 · May 2014

I like it. Totally legit Scottish name with a proud history. Unlike many Scottish names it is easy to pronounce for anyone unfamiliar with it and hard to get wrong. Don't let the nay-sayers get to you. If you like, use it! Especially if you have any ties to Scotland. :-)

Like some PP it sounds a bit goofy to me. What about Declan?

I like it. I think of George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg books. They're prequels to the Ice and Fire series, and one of the main characters (Dunk) is named Ser Duncan the Tall. It's a positive association for me.

kindershlitz · May 2014

I really like it

Dr.Loretta · May 2014

I like it. I don't get a dorky vibe at all

rockopera · May 2014

Love it. Have a cousin, who is a Marine, named Duncan. Not cutesy or dorky in my world.

absolutelymaybe · May 2014

NMS. Reminds me of donuts.

theimpossibleastronaut · May 2014

I am also reminded of Veronica Mars, so I like it.

jallascalla · May 2014

It's such a strong Scottish name with a long history. It makes me think of literary figures too, so I guess my first thoughts when I hear this name are; smart, historic, and one very cute Australian guy I went to college with

I like it. Much better than the above suggested Declan and Deacon.

Completely agree.

stahlop · May 2014

I first think of MacBeth and then Veronica Mars. I like it, go for it (and I've lived in New England where Dunkin Donuts are pretty much land marks and that isn't anywhere near a top association for me).
