Really would like 'Luke' as a middle name. Our surname is 2 syllables if that helps! I can't seem to find anything!

Do you prefer traditional or more modern unusual ones?

F.

F. Luke Smith, like F. Murray Abraham.

People are very very rarely called by their full name, so i would not worry about it 'flowing'.

What are your likes/dislikes? Traditional, modern, classic, exotic?

More seriously, I think a name with two or more syllables. Because Luke is quite a short name it would sound odd paired with another short name.

I know an Anthony Luke, and a Cameron Luke. I think a 3 syllable name does flow nicely.

Sorry, only just caught up!
It's DH late brothers name, however boring it would be nice to incorporate it somehow Smile
I do usually like traditional names, and our DS has a classic name so I guess it can't be anything too out there.

Although I'm leaning towards Obi-Wan...

Is that really necessary?

OP Luke is a lovely name (so nice in fact I'd probably go for it as a first name rather than a middle). I agree with a previous poster, i think for a middle name with 1 syllable, a first name with 2 or more syllables would go best.

I this Christopher Luke is lovely. Some other suggestions:
Anthony Luke
Joseph Luke
William Luke
Nicholas Luke
Michael Luke

What a lovely name and so refreshing as opposed to the millions of babies called Alfie and Charlie etc today. Like a pp said I’d go for it as a first name and have a longer middle name Luke Alexander or similar to balance your short surname out. It’ll flow really nicely.

Ooh, really leaning towards Edward Luke and Benjamin Luke. I agree, it does need to be a longer first name.

I would LOVE to have Luke as a first name, I'll speak to DH and see if he's keen.

You could also use Lukeny or Lucas or another variation...personality I don’t like those as much

It’s nice to have a first name you can’t shorten as well. All the Luke’s I’ve ever known have been smart and good looking strong men. The name also means light giving...how lovely, congratulations on your pregnancy OP Flowers and hope you manage to decide.

I have a Luke - he’s lovely 😊I’d go for it as a first name - not remotely “dull”Hmm

@PasstheStarmix thank you so much! I quite like Lucas but I think I prefer Luke. My DS has a very very traditional/classic first and middle name, most people probably find them boring but I loove them Smile

Hopefully we'll agree on one soon!!
