Comments for DUKE:
John Wayne's one of my favorite actors. His nickname was The Duke and/or Duke. Whenever I see or hear "Duke" it reminds me of him. I nicknamed my son "Duke" in homage of the late actor. My dad's guard dog also is named "Duke". It's a strong name that represents loyalty, courage, and bravery.-- Anonymous User 3/22/2005
The word "dux" which means leader, comes from the word "ducere" which means to lead.-- wiswina 5/28/2005
I know someone whose name is Duke. Everyone calls him that, but it's actually short for Richard.-- Anonymous User 5/16/2006
Duke doesn't sound anything like Richard, bit it's much better than being called Dick.-- FairyGirl 7/2/2006
This name is pronounced DOOK. The female version is Duka (DOOK-AH). It is not pronounced DOOK-AY.-- candleburn 11/5/2006
Why is it everyone starts arguing and saying it's "prissy" to be called Princess, Prince or Queen but it's alright to be Duke? I just don't understand you people.-- Anonymous User 2/2/2007
One famous bearer is Duke Ellington, a famous jazz composer, bandleader, and pianist.-- meganmichele 2/11/2007
In my opinion this name doesn't seem right for a person, no matter the meaning.-- Anonymous User 11/14/2007
I think this name shouldn't be given to a human, EVER. This is a name for either a Rotweiler or Retriever dog, or any other type of big dog.-- jasmineenimsaj 2/14/2008
"Dook"? OK, maybe in America. Everyone else pronounces this "Dyook". No offence, but seeing the pronunciation written down "Dook" just looks ridiculous to a British or Australian etc. person.-- aquamarina 3/17/2008
It's a title, for crying out loud. It seems like a pretentious name to use.-- slight night shiver 4/22/2008
I hate this name. It makes me think of racist David Duke.-- bananarama 9/19/2008
Duke Orsino is a character in the movie "She's the Man". He's played by Channing Tatum.-- Essi 11/25/2008
I love this name! I don't even know why, it's just so, I dunno, masculine? Who cares, it's an awesome name!-- MtotheK 6/5/2009
I completely agree with Aquamarina above. "Dook" looks hilarious to me. I always laugh when the guy sings "your dook" in the English version of the song "Dragostea din tei". I thought he was just pronouncing the word wrong for a long time, until I released that's the American pronunciation. In Ireland, "Duke" is pronounced "jook" and in Britain, it's pronounced "dyook". There should be three different pronunciation guides.-- Ailis 6/8/2009
I like the name very much. It reminds me of names like Blake or Jake, which I consider very masculine. I also think that the meaning "leader" makes it rather masculine. I for sure wouldn't mind naming my son this.-- Anonymous User 3/30/2011
