3. Which do you prefer? -
I like both but I love Duncan. It's odd because I didn't used to care for Duncan at all. I had an "Uncle Duncan" (try saying that 5 times fast, lol) who was Edward Duncan but went by his mn. He did several years ago, and we weren't extremely close but he was a good guy. I'd always associated the name with him, then I started seeing it elsewhere, and associated it more with Scotland than my uncle. :b I doubt I'd ever use it, because as nice as he was, there are a lot of other family members I'd like to honor first, and I couldn't "get away" with using it just because I like it, I don't think. My mom's side of the family would all assume it was after my uncle. :-/
