Trying to come up with a name for no. 4 (sex unknown) that is due in less than 10 weeks. DH threw Luke into the mix at the weekend and I can't decide what I think of it - don't love it but don't hate it. I have never met someone with the name Luke, not that that matters just I don't have that initial name association with a person thing.

So what do others think of Luke?

Love it

I like it. It's a name that everyone will know, but it's not widely used.

Very nice, a classic.

I know an absolutely gorgeous little boy called Luke - son of a close friend, aged 4, and I love him! I think it's an ageless name. He also gets called Lukie Friendlymum, although his parents didn't want it shortened either!

However... when I told my mum, a teacher, that I liked the name, she grimmaced and said that it reminds her of too many very naughty (and one very unpleasant) boys who she's taught in her years.

I like it - tho somewhat biased as that's what my son is called! [hsmile] I wanted a name that couldn't be shortened ........ but when he was younger (12 now) we quite often called him Lukie!

It sounds exactly like look in my accent. But I like it. Classic, simple and not too popular.

Personally I dislike it. Don't know, I just don't like the sound of it (sounds like look in a funny accent, sorry).

Think it's great. Know of one in DS class but other than that it was popular back in the day after Star Wars. Perhaps it's those fun late 70's memories that make me like it!
The boy in the class called Luke is lovely by the way and good looking from a nice well off family if you want that sort of benchmark.
