When you hear Lucas, do you think mucus?

My dh loves the name Lucas but I am not so sure because I think it rhymes with mucus and my yet to be born son will get picked on at school!
Or am I being ridiculous?!
What do you think of lucas - yay or nay??

ChairOfTheBored · 29/03/2011 12:56

No, but I do think of One Tree Hill... which is possibly wrong.

Yes, but I'm immature like that. Whenever I meet a Nicholas, I can't help but think 'knickerless'.

I like the name Lucas, but it does remind me of the condition Lupus.

I'm glad lots of other MNetters thought of Lucas North too. Blush

Onion1968 · 25/03/2011 19:24

no! In the same way that Matt doesn't make me think of bat and Tom doesn;t make me think of Bomb etc etc. You are overthinking.
Lucas is a lovely name.

I have a Lucas who is 13, i have just asked him and he said no one has ever said it to him at school. So i dont think its something that is thought staight away when you hear Lucas.
I cant believe how popular it is now though when i called it him in 1997 it was considered unusual and people used to often comment on his nice but unusual name.

I have a Luke (5)...his best friend is Lucas!! Lucas is ok, will date though I feel, and there are 3 or 4 in the infants at his school.

Lucas makes me think of the very odd looking man in Guess Who called Lucas, who is all blond curly hair and blond beard.....it has put me off the name completely! Never made the connection with mucus though, and I also love Luca as a name.

weimy · 25/03/2011 16:36

I like luca :)

PassTheTwiglets · 25/03/2011 14:37

othersideofchannel, the song doesn't say that Luca is a girl though, does it? I always assumed the song was about a boy but I may well be wrong!

PassTheTwiglets · 25/03/2011 14:36

there is another thread that may interest you... :)

fedupwithdeployment · 25/03/2011 14:04

Inever liked it partly becaue of the Lucas Mucas thing...but one of my good friends called her son Lucas, and he is a lovely boy, and I am getting over the mucas associations!

Ooopsadaisy · 25/03/2011 14:03

Love the name Lucas.

Couldn't have considered it for DS as too many SSSs. Otherwise would have been high on the list.

Pinkjenny · 25/03/2011 13:57

othersideofchannel - I wanted to call ds Luca, but my mum said the same thing.

othersideofchannel · 25/03/2011 13:57

Luca is a girls name to my ears. Perhaps because of the 'a' ending and the song 'my name is Luca'...

cheesesarnie · 25/03/2011 13:55

no! i love luca.

Pinkjenny · 25/03/2011 13:53

No!

I think of my beautiful ds.
