It's a bit dated. I only know one Doug who's my age (mid-20s), the rest are in their fifties.

I love the name Douglas; however, I hate the nickname Doug.

Handsome, a bit dashing even.. Love the nature/forest imagery I get from it.

Hi !!!!

I like it a lot!!
I love the natural meaning and the strong vibe.

How is it pronounced?

I think DOOG-las something like Dougal, right?

Most people in US would pronounce it like "DUHG-less". I'm not sure about elsewhere.

I just love it. Like Kenneth, a dated name that I'm very very fond of.

Ugly. Doug is gross, as well.

I think it sounds kind of tweedy.

My first associations were trees (Douglas firs) and "dark water", which makes it pleasant to me...

It's just very unattractive in sound and look. And it demands a nn, but Doug is just as ugly. Dugly.
