What do you expect from Lucas?

[schroedingersdodo]

If you meet a Lucas from London, what sort of people do you expect him to be? What kind of parents/background does he have?

And finally, do you know many Lucases? (in which part of the world are you?)

Many thanks!

I expect him to be half Mediterranean, dark eyed and haired with a cheeky face, cool youngish type patents who like to travel and for him to be a sweet bouncy little boy :). Never met a Lucas in my life but love the name

Bit naughty!

I don't really expect anything. But I know a fair few of them up here in NE England. And a workmate from Liverpool has picked that as her boys name. So think it it quite popular.

We know a German Lukas, an American Lucas, and a Lucas here in London. All perfectly nice children but given how many we know it is off the table for us, although it is a lovely name.

I have a nephew called Lucas who lives in London.
He is named after George Lucas (my BIL is big into Star Wars)

I wouldn't have any expectation. I know so many Lucases and Lukes and they're all very different!

[MumVsKids]

My DNephew (4mths) is Lucas and he's just gorgeous, olive skin, dark hair, dark green eyes and totally bouncy and cheeky.

Don't know any others tho, and we're midlands :)

[WaynettaSlobsLover]

Mumvskids your nephew sounds exactly how I look lol. Never hear anyone describe green eyes as 'dark' but that's what mine are! Seems like these Lucas's are cheeky chappies though :)

Lucas 2
Luka 1

Dark haired,intelligent, a little cheeky (in a sweet way)

I've never met a Lucas so don't know why I think as above but I do.

Ive taught a few and they have all been different. Try not to have name expectations, you don't want to type cast your child before he/she is born! Lucas is a very strong and increasingly popular name!!

Thanks for the responses, apparently it invokes positive things to everyone, which is great! :)

I think the worst bit about the name is it's popularity (all around the world, so we have nowhere to run!).

[CPtart]

There are two Lucas's in my sons year, (year 3). It is a nice enough name but very popular. Prefer Luke personally.

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

It's popular though because it's a nice name - and it's a classic as well.

[WiseKneeHair]

Strawberry coloured hair, blue eyes, gorgeous.
Bright, cheeky and doesn't like going to bed.
but that might just be my 4yo Lucas

I obviously love the name and don't personally know any others.

I am a teacher......this morning I gave Lukas a detention

But it is a lovely name!

[CharlieBoo]

I think it's a bit wet.. Sorry

[MustTidyPlayroom]

I have a Lucas (5) - Not at all wet!

Dark hair and eyes, olive skin, tall & skinny, kind, cheeky, loves to have fun, adorable dimples and very sporty!

And he is the only one I know.

[schroedingersdodo]

Thanks for all the comments! It took us weeks after DS2 was born to decide on a name - we settled on Lucas, for a lot of (good) reasons and only now I am starting to feel better about it (he is 2 months old). Glad to see you all like the name too (well, most of you).

I really hope he won't hate me for having a very popular name (that was my only - and big - caveat. Fortunately not all of you think it is that popular, so there is still hope!)

[WiseKneeHair]

My Lucas regularly beats up his 8 and 11 yo brothers, so not wet.

[MulledWineAndScully]

I think of Lucas as being a bit of a scamp but not in a malicious way! I'm a big Michael McIntyre fan and he's got a son called Lucas who he talks about as such, so that's probably why. I know it's really popular at the moment so personally I wouldn't choose it but I do like it a lot.
