Luke

Had to post as I have a Luke Cameron! So either is great. (Cameron is the name of my much-loved brother.)

I know a lovely 3 year old called Cameron and thought of him before David Cameron. I prefer it to Luke.

Luke Smile

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 21/02/2014 01:46

Luke. I like Cam though.

Daisyjane12 · 21/02/2014 01:41

Luke! I've never met any nice Cameron Blush

I prefer cameron. I get your concerns about it being political but I don't think it's too big a deal as cameron was already a well known name in its own right, especially if you have a Scottish surname which "goes" with it no one will bat an eye lid. I do quite like Luke too but I would pick cameron.

Luke

CarriMarie · 20/02/2014 23:34

I prefer Cameron, but Luke goes well for a middle name.

Glittery7 · 20/02/2014 23:23

Cameron. I only know lovely little boys with this name.

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/02/2014 23:10

Cameron.

Luke is a bit of a blah name.

MrsBungle · 20/02/2014 16:27

OH is also tied between the two, typical! I think he thinks Cam has the edge although he does love the name Luke.

We're in England, but have a Scottish surname...

Will definitely post back once we've decided/met the baby...

Thanks for all your replies xx

People are so bloody shallow, eh, OP?

Does your OH have a preference?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/02/2014 16:13

I really like both, but there's no way I'd choose the former whilst 'Dave' is PM.

ZenNudist · 20/02/2014 16:12

Luke. Cameron is too close to David.

TheProsAndConsOfHitchhiking · 20/02/2014 16:12

My Cameron is mostly Cameron but my dp calls him RonCam Hmm

Sometimes I call him Cam but normally his full name.

justmuddlingalong · 20/02/2014 16:10

Ours was originally going to be an Alistair, but when he was born he didn't look like one. Cameron hadn't even been considered but he suited it and now I can't imagine him being anything else. There's no rush to choose. Good luck and come back and let us know what you decide. Smile

InkleWinkle · 20/02/2014 16:07

If you're in Scotland no one will ever think about David Cameron Grin
Lots of Camerons about its a v. popular name here. Although not so many baby ones more age 5+?

Having said that, I prefer Luke!

It's due imminently. You're right, it might be easier when we meet the little fella...I've tried practicing saying both names but one doesn't jump out over the other...

Is your baby here yet? Maybe he looks/will look like one or the other, if that makes sense.
