If you dislike all of the above, other possibilities are [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Margot[/name], [name]Annika[/name], and [name]Miranda[/name].

The only ones I truly dislike are [name]Mackenzie[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] - with [name]Duncan[/name], I would assume they were brothers.

I love [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]. I think [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Duncan[/name] are perfect.

[name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] is a lovely combo. I think it fits what you’re looking for.

erinlw · September 6, 2012, 4:03pm

I really like the suggestion of [name]Annika[/name]. I think [name]Annika[/name] and [name]Duncan[/name] would make great siblings, and [name]Annika[/name] is a strong but feminine girls’ names.

raven1980 · September 6, 2012, 4:10pm

My pick would be [name]Octavia[/name] or [name]Juliet[/name]/te! I hate [name]Julia[/name] though sorry. [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Adrienne[/name], and [name]Eliza[/name] are okay, but [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Quinn[/name], and [name]Mackenzie[/name] are way too trendy for me.

mara_lyn86 · September 6, 2012, 4:12pm

For something not trendy and strong I would say [name]Octavia[/name].

Others I would choose from the list:
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]

I voted for [name]Daphne[/name] and [name]Octavia[/name]. But then I read that your son was already [name]Duncan[/name] - and I don’t think [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name] work that well.

I know a gorgeous [name]Octavia[/name] (she’d be around 8) and she’s yet to acquire a NN.

[name]Octavia[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] is very nice (however [name]Charlotte[/name] is in the boring category for me).

[name]Eliza[/name] is also a nice solid choice.

kyemsma · September 6, 2012, 4:30pm

I love [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name], or [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name]!

rachelxoxo · September 6, 2012, 5:00pm

My favorite is [name]Vivienne[/name]!!! :).

dlawsonsmith · September 6, 2012, 5:08pm

I like [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Annika[/name]!

kala_way · September 6, 2012, 5:25pm

in order of like:
[name]Daphne[/name] - beautiful! love it
[name]Octavia[/name] - I think this one is nice, definitely different, but straightforward and strong.
[name]Adair[/name] - I actually really like this one, it’s different but not too complicated or weird and I love [name]Addie[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] (or [name]Julia[/name]) - lovely
[name]Quinn[/name] - okay, not bad
[name]Charlotte[/name] - okay, very popular among the berries. It’s a nice name
[name]Eliza[/name] - meh, nms, it’s okay
[name]Adrienne[/name] - okay, not super unique or interesting but it’s okay
[name]Vivian[/name]/[name]Vivienne[/name] - nms, I know it’s widely loved but I hate it.
[name]Mackenzie[/name] - hate, I know so many it’s like the [name]Christina[/name] of the 2000’s.

susan.n · September 6, 2012, 7:45pm

My favorites are [name]Eliza[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name], but I really love [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name] together-very Shakespearean. :]

r_j · September 7, 2012, 8:14am

I voted [name]Vivian[/name], but would’ve done [name]Miranda[/name] if it were on the poll.

Mischa · September 7, 2012, 8:22am

1 [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]
2 [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name]
3 [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Octavia[/name]
4 [name]Duncan[/name] and [name]Juliet[/name]

I would avoid similar ending names like [name]Adrienne[/name], [name]Vivian[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] for [name]Duncan[/name]'s sister as well as unisex names like [name]Mackenzie[/name] and [name]Adair[/name]. I love [name]Daphne[/name] but I like children to have their own initial.

cnk-tdcc · September 7, 2012, 8:55am

I voted for [name]Juliet[/name] and [name]Octavia[/name]. They both go splendidly with [name]Duncan[/name].

Best of luck!

lilysong · September 7, 2012, 9:22am

I voted for [name]Vivian[/name] but would have liked to vote for [name]Annika[/name]. I really like the meaning & sound of both, but I think [name]Duncan[/name] & [name]Annika[/name] go together better than [name]Duncan[/name] & [name]Vivian[/name]. I prefer the spelling & pronounciation of [name]Vivienne[/name], but it’s too difficult imo with your family name. [name]Vivian[/name] Kilgore is better than [name]Vivienne[/name] Kilgore imo.

jwilson · September 7, 2012, 2:33pm

I like either [name]Vivienne[/name] or [name]Adrienne[/name], although I voted for [name]Vivienne[/name].
