Duncan

• sounds very adventurous, like from the movies.
• A strong name which would sound better the older the person got! This name also is the name of a television and movie character from "The Highlander", an immortal.
• Duncan Connor: I have a passion for Scottish, Irish, Celtic and Gaelic names!! And I just love how this one sounds!
• Duncan Murphy: It's a jaunty and spirited name that's old fashioned, uncommon but doesn't sound fabricated. This little boy has spirit and character. It happens to be my son's name and I love the way people grin and let the name roll off their own tongue before they say..."Duncan, I like that name!"
• Duncan Niccolo: I adore this name! Duncan is a very masculine name and I picture a cute rather chubby little boy who would be very smart and have a positive outlook on life. He'd be the type of boy who was on the football team yet a member of the computer club. I guess a good all rounder. Niccolo gives a continental feel to the regular name Nicholas. I think this combination goes well as it brings a rather regal British sounding name with a rather sexy Latin sounding one.

Duncan is a Scottish name, an anglicization of the name Donnchadh, which is derived from the elements donn meaning "brown [haired]" and chad meaning "noble; chief." This same name in Irish is usually anglicized Donagh.
