Brother for Lucas?

21 replies

Please help! Lucas is a family name and we love it so it was easy to choose but now we need another English / Northern European name for a brother.

Ideas so far:

Names I like:
Thomas
Peter
Bartholomew (Bart)

Names DH likes but I am not certain about:
Dennis
Arthur
Eric
Conrad

The middle name will probably be James (another family name).

Do you like any of these? What other suggestions have you fantastic mnetters got please?

Why sorry? Actually we like this but it is in the family already, problem is we have a large extended family and brother and SIL also need English - Northern European names (German for them).

George Lucas is the director of the Star Wars films (I was convinced that this was the reason for the recent rise in popularity of the name Lucas, but you may have proved me wrong).

Arthur and Thomas are my faves from your list.

Doh! Should have got that, lucky we can't use George anyway.

I like:

Lucus & Peter
Lucas & Conrad

Peter James & Conrad James have a nice ring to them

Thanks, it's Peter Jones not Peter James on Dragon's Den isn't it? Just checking!

I know someone who has a Lucas and a Kier.

skyblu · 17/08/2009 10:36

Yes, Dragons Den is Peter Jones.....I don't know if he is Peter James Jones though

Thanks! Are there no votes for Dennis - DH's favourite (big fan of footballer Dennis Bergkamp)? Is it still going to be "the menace" for our children's generation and is the Eastender association a problem?

I live in Germany - have been toying with the name Stefan/Steffen.

I like Thomas from your list.
