Duncan

Duncan donuts (don't do it).

The name reminds me of the city in British Columbia, Canada, where I happen to live. :)

I like the name Duncan. It is strong, modern and fairly unique. I also like the meaning and Gaelic origin too. Overall, I think Duncan is a cool name.
(P.S. This would make an awesome name for a cop's kid.)

It reminds me of:
1. A Dungeon
2. Dunkin' Donuts
3. Jason Momoa in the movie, Dune 2021

Conclusion: Aside from the connotations, I think this name is uncommon, unique and strong which makes me think of a cool guy. Not a wack name.

It does make me think of Dunkin' Donuts, but that's not a bad association.

I’m surprised this has such long usage as a given name, even being in of Shakespeare’s plays. It always strikes me as more trendy and hipster. Not exactly in a bad way though. I think this is a decent name, but I’m reminded of Dunkin Donuts, Good Luck Charlie, early 2010’s, and more on.

It reminds me of Duncan from Total Drama Island. He cheated on his gf. NO WAY!

Horrible.

This is one male name I've always enjoyed, for its simplicity and timeless appeal.

One of my favorite names, I know Duncan from the 2006 video game "Bully"(and it's also one of my favourite video game) he is a high school dropout who dropped out of Bullworth Academy (the Academy name) because of constant bullying by a kid named Davis White, and it's kinda rare in my country (Indonesia), I will be naming my first baby "Duncan Vendome" because it's such a good Combo.

Duncan seems like a nice name. But the Dunkin' Donouts association is too strong.

Too surnamey to be a first name.

I can't say I'll ever be enthralled over this name but for some unknown reason, I picture this name on some larger male (or flat-out chubby\fat) who is the life of the party and is a complete goofball. Someone who would be awesome and fun to hang out with. The name just leaves me with that impression.

Not sure who said it, but I agree, way too hard to get past the thought of buying donuts from Dunkin' Donuts. Whoever is named Duncan, please dress up as a donut for Halloween.

"Dunkin'" v. "Duncan". One is the act of immersing. The other is a Scottish king. Like coffee and doughnuts is some kind of evil plot. It's not like the name is "Krispy". Or "Happy". Or "Chuck's".

Keep surnames to be SURNAMES only!

This name is growing on me. I used to hate the sound of it, but now I kind of like it. It sounds strong but not macho, and quietly secure in itself but not arrogant. But like other users have said, I can NOT get past the Dunkin' Donuts thing. So I guess for those of you who don't know what a Dunkin' Donuts is, uh, feel free to use this name, just don't move to New England any time soon.

I like it. Its very masculine yet simple. Lol and a lot of names have something tied to them. Dunkin Donuts is not the worst thing in the world. Other names have much worse tied to them.

I really dislike this name. It just seems so whiny (possibly because of the character Duncan Kane from Veronica Mars). And I hate the way it sounds--it's like half of it gets stuck in the throat or something. It's just not appealing at all.

I really don't like the sound of this name.

I can't use it but it gives me joy to see others consider it. A regular contributor to babynamesworld thought this would make a fun girl's name. Seriously.

This name shouts "LET'S GET SOME DONUTS!"

I really love this name. If I'll ever have a son I'll call him Duncan, either with his first or middle name.

My rabbit's name is Duncan and I don't know why I picked this name but I like it because it reminds me of donuts.

While I find this name to be very handsome & distinguished I cannot get passed the 'Dunkin Donuts' association.

Quite clearly the name Duncan is used to describe someone who is naturally weedy in nature. Tendency to be moody and depressed are also common traits amongst the oddballs that are Duncans.

My name's Duncan and I at least don't think that. But opinions vary.
