OK, we've GOT to decide as this is getting stressful now. Surname is 2 syllables, starts with Ke ends with D. Votes please!

Lorcan
Cassian (little unsure how this goes with surname because of c k sound?)
Lucien/Lucian
Jonah
Luca
Joseph

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to reply.

Our little boy is called Lucien John. It suits him already and we love it.

I love Lucian (and we already have a Joseph)

NiceCuppaT · 16/08/2010 18:54

How about Cassius? Love Cass

theagedparent · 16/08/2010 17:27

Lorcan

mousymouse · 16/08/2010 17:27

cassius or lucien
let us know when you decide!

mathanxiety · 16/08/2010 17:22

Jonah and Joseph, and Lorcan, but I think the hard C in Lorcan might run into the K or your surname.

mumtoabeautifulbabyboy · 15/08/2010 22:02

Lucien

Joseph

ArthuriaAugustaDArcy · 15/08/2010 21:51

Cassian or Lucien. Not Joseph, and not Luca (both too popular). Not Jonah (too Biblical). Not Lorcan (I know one, and he's a pain).

katkouta · 15/08/2010 21:49

Jonah

Jonah or Cassian - haven't taught a Jonah or Cassian yet, all the others increasing in popularity. The C-K thing I think works agree with getstuffed I like classy alliteration xxx

Hulababy · 15/08/2010 21:45

Joseph is my favourite, by far.

proudfoot · 15/08/2010 21:44

Joseph is lovely

Judging from the other names on your list maybe you're looking for something a bit more unusual but personally I really like Joseph and it would definitely be my pick from your list.

Also would like Lucas but less keen on Luca.

MerryMarigold · 15/08/2010 21:42

Lorcan - too Mills & Boon
Cassian - girly, awful, prefer 2 syllables and 2 syllables and this one is 3
Jonah - nice
Luca - nice
Joseph - nice, but quite common

LynetteScavo · 15/08/2010 21:41

Jonah, Lucas or Joseph.

lifeas3plus1 · 15/08/2010 21:38

Cassius and Lucian are my favourites from the list.

pippylongstockings · 15/08/2010 21:36

What name was your favorite when you first had him?

I only ask as we had a name when we first brought our DS1 home - then chickened out for a month and he was called 'boy boy' plus various other guises - but we then went back to the 1st name and I love it!

Out of your list Luca and Lucian.

hester · 15/08/2010 21:35

I like Joseph, Jonah and Luca.

Tillyscoutsmum · 15/08/2010 21:29

Lorcan is gorgeous but the only ones I'm not keen on are Joseph and Jonah

SirBoobAlot · 15/08/2010 21:27

Joseph

schroedingersdodo · 15/08/2010 21:25

I like Cassian and Luca. If you look really hard at the baby, isn't there one name that "fits" him better? When my son was born, he didn't have a name, but in the first day I thought he looked like Jonas. My husband didn't share the same feeling, but the name ticked a lot of boxes and after over a week we decided to go for it.

getstuffed · 15/08/2010 19:04

Love Cass, alliteration!

collision · 15/08/2010 18:25

Are you saying Lucien as Looshan or Looosi-en?

Think I like Joseph Lucien. Joe for short.

StrictlyTory · 15/08/2010 18:22

Joseph
