[Opinions] Duncan
This name seems really cute and old-mannishly charming to me today. Do you think a kid would be tormented by Donut jokes his whole life though? :(

Yeah, there are the doughnuts it makes me think of. And also a breifly appearing character in my favorite video game. And also I think the "unc" sound is very unnattractive. I can see it being fun on an old man, though.
I love Duncan. It's a shame you don't hear it that often, because I think it's charming.
I know a guy named Duncan. Very quiet, loves his train set.
I don't get the 'donut' reference. It makes me think of Macbeth, if anything.

Knew a cute and very gentlemanly Duncan love it!
I would not make donut jokes unless he becomes a cop then Donut jokes galore. I kinda of like the name Duncan for how the name sounds.

I knew a Duncan in school.
As far as I know he wasn't teased.
I like the name somewhat - it's a very young name to me, not old.

I'm not very keen on Duncan. It seems old and nerdy. Being an Australian, the only teasing I can think of is "dunny can", which is slang for toilet.
I know a first grader named Duncan. He's a cutie.
I've always liked Duncan. It's very dignified, without being stuffy. Dunkin Donuts can go dunk themselves. ;)
I don't think that would be a huge teasing point. The only one I could think of is the similar sound of Duncan and "drunken" maybe.
I can definitely see it on a younger person-- I agree it could be a very cute name. I wouldn't let the similarity to Dunkin' Donuts put you off a classic name, either.
