Luke or Thomas

I thought I had decided on the name Luke for a boy as I like that it is simple, classic and cannot be shortened with a nickname.
I have a love hate relationship with the name Thomas. I like that it is a classic name, not too popular where I live but I do not like the nickname Tom.
Which do you prefer? The full names will be:
Luke Francis
Thomas James
I will not go with Luke Thomas as I want a middle name with family history (Francis or James).
Our choice for a girl is Anna.
Thank you.

Luca James - perfect! Smile

If you dont like Tom you really cant use Thomas! He will be known as Tom, maybe not a first but definitely at secondary school and adulthood.

Luke is quite sweet but I personally prefer Luca

I prefer Luke

Thomas James, but then I have a Thomas Jack so obviously I am a little biased.
