Hedgehog Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 When I was a child, there was a great man in our church called Doug. Both he and his wife were wonderful examples of practical Christian love and life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 My youngest's middle name is Douglas. Named, sort of, after one of my earliest childhood friends--a good fella. It's a good Scottish name and makes me think of kilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Excellent Doug choices in this thread. My favorites are Douglas Reynholm, Doug the dog, and Douglas Adams. I've only known one Doug IRL - a former colleague when I was a teacher. He was a decent guy. Decent enough to redeem the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
