I have heard that Douglas was originally a feminine name of Scottish origin, and that it became masculine sometime before the middle ages.

I have always found this name to be overwhelmingly dorky.

Gross. I hate the way this name sounds.

If you do not like a name, you don't have to totally trash the name. Why take the time to comment if you find the name so repugnant anyway?

Besides, the meaning is pretty cool. I'd name my son Douglas over Jayden, Aiden, or any fad name.

I like this name quite a bit. I see other people call it boring, well, it is nothing of the sort, it's way better to be a Douglas in the world of Jacobs and Nicks! If anything, those names are boring, not Douglas! So if you like Douglas, go ahead and use it!

Douglas is a nice name. It's strong and classic. The only problem with it is the nickname Doug, which I despise!
