Duke

[familyguez.livejournal.com]

I don't know what came over me, or where I heard the name but I decided today that if my husband and I have a boy I want to name him Duke.

So, our children would be Aida (Samantha Jane), and Duke (Emery Lee). I don't love the way it sounds all together, but I suddenly adore the name Duke and our next child will be named after my husband since my daughter is named after me.

What do you think? Aida & Duke?

:( i always associate Duke with dogs because when i was growing up i knew two people who had dogs named Duke.

Sorry! I just wanted to bring it up in case it's a common association! Don't feel bad, I loved the name Max and everyone tells me that THAT's a dog name too :(

i LOOOOOVE the name Aida, how beautiful!

My very first thought was "Duke is a dog's name or a title". And I don't think I have ever met a dog named duke, maybe it's the marmaduke association?

I also don't think it goes very well with Aida(though if I remember correctly you pronounce this differently than I would so maybe it flows better with your pronunciation...)

Yeah I thought of dogs too. I don't really care for the name either, but Aida is pretty. And I like Emery. :)

This.

I like Emery, though.
