My daughter is Eva and now having a boy. Cant decide between

Eva & Luca
or
Eva & Lucas.

I know theres not much difference but keep thinking Lucas is maybe going to be more popular n therefore end up with lots in his class at school but maybe goes better with Eva : / x x

Lucas.

I know of someone with an Ava and Luca. It always seemed to work well when she said them together...

Luca

Lucas purely to avoid trending the names, however do think Luca is lovely if you decide to go for something completely different and have it as a MN.

Lucas

Nataleejah · 19/01/2014 13:29

Lucas or Luke. Luca is a girls name in Eastern Europe

Rosencrantz · 19/01/2014 01:38

Can't have 2 a endings! So therefore Lucas. Which is much cooler than Luca.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/01/2014 16:33

Lucas.

Eva and Luca v samey.

squoosh · 18/01/2014 16:28

Luca sounds quite faddy whereas Lucas has a bit more weight to it.

SoonToBeSix · 18/01/2014 16:27

Luca by far

loveisagirlnameddaisy · 18/01/2014 16:19

hoppinghare we do call DS Lucas Mucus as a joke sometimes (he's only 18 months so totally oblivious)

loveisagirlnameddaisy · 18/01/2014 16:17

My DS is Lucas so obviously I'm biased but I know someone with an Ava and a Luca and I'd never considered it sounded odd. I like both options but on balance prefer Lucas.

browneyesblue · 18/01/2014 16:15

Lucas - Luca, although also lovely, is too 'samey' when paired with Eva

Theonlyoneiknow · 18/01/2014 16:11

Lucas, for some reason i think of Luca as a girls name, not sure why!

shallweshop · 18/01/2014 15:56

Lucas.

LyndaCartersBigPants · 18/01/2014 15:53

Agree that Lucas sounds better as the 'a' ending on Eva and Luca makes them a bit samey.

Fwiw, both are family names for me and I love them!

hoppinghare · 18/01/2014 15:42

I don't think either 'go' with eva. I do like the name luca though and eva is a beautiful name. I'm not too keen on lucas. Someone once said it reminded them of something else and now it's all I hear when someone says lucas. I'll not put it in your head in case you use it.

squoosh · 18/01/2014 15:33

I prefer Lucas.

Ihatepeas · 18/01/2014 14:57

Eva and Lucas is lovely.

lollydollydrop · 18/01/2014 09:33

I prefer Luca But Lucas goes Much better with Eva
