Input on boy name

I think we 'may' have found our boy name. I love it, DH said he 'liked it'- so maybe it's a go?!

Duke Brodie (my mom's maiden name)

Our DS is Hudson, so I thought Duke went well with Hudson. What do you guys think? Be nice...remember, I love it :)

Sorry, I'm not into title names.

A duke (male) or duchess (female) can either be a monarch ruling over a duchy or a member of the nobility, historically of highest rank below the monarch.

I wouldn't mind it as a nickname?

It's NMS, but if you love it, go for it.

I really don't like it (Duke isn't a human first name to me, and Brodie is EVERYWHERE), but if it speaks to you, go for it!

I know way too many dogs with this name, sorry.  FWIW, my first name is apparently a dog name too.  It's annoying to have people say "oh, that's my dog's name" when they meet you.

Not a fan, sorry. Brodie is NMS, but it's fine in the MN spot since it's a family name. I don't like Duke at all.

I dislike Duke. I think Brodie works well as a MN considering the family significance.

I love you to the moon and back!

Not loving Duke as a first name, but think it could be a cool nickname.

Suggestion: what about something like Broderick Duke... gives you a full name with the nn option of Brodie or Duke.  Just a thought!

Duke and Brodie are both very common dog names, I would choose one or the other. If you want to keep your mmn, I'd change Duke or keep it as a nn.

Hell yeah. Love it.

 If I hear about one more Liam, Aiden or Adam, I'm going to go crazy.

Thanks for all your input. Too bad there aren't many fans; but thats why I posted something to get opinions.

I didn't even think of the dog name reference...so that makes me think twice a little. Either way, I love the middle name of Brodie. What other first names would you suggest? I don't like common names, but I also don't like very unique names- somewhere in the middle.

I love Brodie but am not a huge fan of Duke (I think I would like it for a nickname). But if you and your husband both like it - well then by all means, name away! :)

Me too!

I would actually prefer Brodie as a first name, especially if it's that vs. Duke.  I like surnames as first names when they have family significance.

What about Jude?  Has a similar feel to Duke, for me at least.

This! I prefer Brodie as the first name, especially since it's a family name. I really like Hudson and I don't think Duke fits as well as Brodie with Hudson.
