I know two Duncan’s! Both in their early twenties.

I really like the name and I could even see myself using it for my son if my SO loved it.

I like it, although it sounds dorky and medieval to me in the same way as Roland.

It's is a very 'character' name. Duncan would be the big dumb muscle guy who smashes whatever the villain points at. The "Dun" syllable even sounds like "dumb".

(I also think of Dunkin Donuts and Duncan Idaho)

I met someone a few months ago with this as a middle name(first name Drake). It isn’t my thing.

I have known one man called Duncan who will now be around 50 years old and one who came into my workplace who would be around 10 years old. I would love to meet a few more little Duncan’s but as it was popular here in the 70s and 80s it is still viewed mostly as a parent name with a few grandparents also called Duncan now. As a result it’s not quite ready for a full comeback yet.

I like it; I like most Scottish names. Don't think I'd ever use it, but I'd like to meet more Duncan people.

I don't know that it should be more popular, but I do think that when it is used, it's cool.

It has a heavy, clunky, clumsy sound to it, and in the US it's very associated with Dunkin (formerly called Dunkin Donut) and Duncan Hines cake mixes and dunking things in general.

Dunkin Donuts

I like the name a lot. I wouldn't mind it being more popular since I don't plan on using it in real life.

Don't really like it

Oh, I love it. I think Duncan is really sweet. It's so cuddly. I think it should be more beloved, absolutely.

Duncan doesn't really do anything for me. Not a fan.
