Lucas would be my first choice. I like James as a middle name (and have used it as such for my DS Wink )
I detest Matthew, but it didn't stop me marrying one lol.

Lucas
James
Matthew

That's in order of my faves. All good strong names though.

DogEared · 23/04/2012 10:20

Matthew is lovely.
James is classic but a tad overused IMO
Lucas always makes me think Lucifer.

lisaro · 21/04/2012 23:07

All great, real names, without trying hard to be quirky.

RobinSparkles · 21/04/2012 22:58

James is my most favourite boys name.

MrsAmaretto · 21/04/2012 22:53

I like James and Matthew but really dislike Lucas (no idea why). All a good, solid names.

I know a couple of wee James' (3 wks & 3yrs) but no Matthew's. If you are worried about popularity & planning on living in the same area you could always ask the midwife if many of your names have been norm lately?

Stellan · 21/04/2012 22:35

James or Matthew.

I much prefer Luke to Lucas. Lucas reminds with 'mucus', which is trivial but puts me off a bit. It's too trendy, too 2000s, for me.

lunamoon · 21/04/2012 21:43

I think Lucas is more now If that helps at all!!!!
I like them all though.

janie2 · 21/04/2012 21:35

Love James! I have a James and I don't know any of his age or slightly older.

All good strong names!

EllenParsons · 21/04/2012 21:29

I like all of them! Don't think you could go wrong with any of those, so no need to worry about picking the wrong one!

ragged · 21/04/2012 19:31

I like James. Meh on others. "Luca" is more trendy than Lucas.

Hope88 · 21/04/2012 19:25

Lucas

BonnieBumble · 21/04/2012 19:11

James - lovely classic name.

Lucas - personally not keen, prefer Louis.

Matthew - Not keen, more popular in the 80s/90s.

Geranium3 · 21/04/2012 19:08

Matthew James. Dislike Lucas, sounds too americanised or a surname.

Bennydog · 21/04/2012 17:44

James the others don't come close

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 20/04/2012 21:49

Lucas

HatchedAtTheHutch · 20/04/2012 21:48

Loving Lucas too

winkle2 · 20/04/2012 21:47

All lovely but in order of preference-

Lucas
James
Matthew

MarySA · 20/04/2012 20:15

I'm not keen on any of these I'm afraid. There are a lot of children called Matthew and James. And they are certainly OK names and won't date. Whereas Lucas might fall into the faddy names category.

tiptoptally · 20/04/2012 19:58

Lucas always sounds like Mucas to me :(

James and Matthew are gorgeous, classic names that will suit a little boy but also a man, and won't embarress him when he's older (and called Bear, Tangerine etc.... )

Matthew or Lucas. Not a fan of the name James for some unaccountable reason!

ZenNudist · 20/04/2012 19:46

Lucas is my favourite of your selection. It's classic but not totally overdone

wigglesrock · 20/04/2012 19:27

I like them all but if I'm pushed Matthew, then James, then Lucas.

BBQJuly · 20/04/2012 19:26
