First names that go with Luke?

Really would like 'Luke' as a middle name. Our surname is 2 syllables if that helps! I can't seem to find anything!

I think Luke is a lovely, strong name. It’s traditional but not overly popular. I love the suggestion of Luke Alexander, if you go for it as a first name. Edward Luke is also great. And it’s nice that your son will have a link to his uncle.

Just coming back to say loving all the positive Luke comments. I was a bit SadHmm at the “boring” comment. My Luke loves his name Smile

We have a Luke over here. His middle name is Edward after his grandfather.....would have preferred skywalker...Grin Henry Luke, Edward Luke, Robert Luke,

I think Luke is a lovely name, as a middle of first. I don't think it's 'boring' at all.

Benjamin Luke
Elijah Luke
Harrison Luke
Joshua Luke
William Luke
I think 3 syllables is a good idea, although someone suggested Edward Luke which works well too

junebirthdaygirl · 20/04/2018 23:40

My suggestion was going to be Jonathan Lukebut l was beaten to it. I think its lovely. And l love the name Luke

chezmk1988 · 20/04/2018 23:20

Matthew Luke
Jacob Luke
Benjamin Luke
Luke is also nice as a first name

Castleonacloud · 19/04/2018 18:21

I love the name Luke. We had it on our list of boys names, we had a girl though. I like Luke James.

Warm? Just kidding...
I like Luke. As a middle name I like the suggestions:

Christopher Luke
Ezra Luke

Marcipex · 18/04/2018 22:08

I think practically any name goes with a classic like Luke, except perhaps other names with a lot of Ls in.

PasstheStarmix · 18/04/2018 21:46

You are welcome, I love traditional names too. Ds has a traditional name and I think it’s really endearing. The way I look at it is there aren’t many babies called these names today so traditional names will be unique and stand out from all of the more modern names used for babies that are used a lot.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 18/04/2018 21:36

I think that Luca is lovely but perhaps not traditional enough.

Sebastian Luke, Oliver Luke, Christopher Luke, Barnaby Luke.

@PasstheStarmix thank you so much! I quite like Lucas but I think I prefer Luke. My DS has a very very traditional/classic first and middle name, most people probably find them boring but I loove them Smile

Hopefully we'll agree on one soon!!

I have a Luke - he’s lovely 😊I’d go for it as a first name - not remotely “dull”Hmm

PasstheStarmix · 18/04/2018 21:26

It’s nice to have a first name you can’t shorten as well. All the Luke’s I’ve ever known have been smart and good looking strong men. The name also means light giving...how lovely, congratulations on your pregnancy OP Flowers and hope you manage to decide.

PasstheStarmix · 18/04/2018 21:21

personally*

PasstheStarmix · 18/04/2018 21:21

You could also use Lukeny or Lucas or another variation...personality I don’t like those as much

Ooh, really leaning towards Edward Luke and Benjamin Luke. I agree, it does need to be a longer first name.

I would LOVE to have Luke as a first name, I'll speak to DH and see if he's keen.

David
Richard
Bernard
Wilfred
Connor
Sebastian
Christopher
Barnaby
Nathaniel

PasstheStarmix · 18/04/2018 21:15

What a lovely name and so refreshing as opposed to the millions of babies called Alfie and Charlie etc today. Like a pp said I’d go for it as a first name and have a longer middle name Luke Alexander or similar to balance your short surname out. It’ll flow really nicely.

loobybear · 18/04/2018 21:11

Something equally as dull?

Is that really necessary?

OP Luke is a lovely name (so nice in fact I'd probably go for it as a first name rather than a middle). I agree with a previous poster, i think for a middle name with 1 syllable, a first name with 2 or more syllables would go best.

I this Christopher Luke is lovely. Some other suggestions:
Anthony Luke
Joseph Luke
William Luke
Nicholas Luke
Michael Luke

Sorry, only just caught up!
It's DH late brothers name, however boring it would be nice to incorporate it somehow Smile
I do usually like traditional names, and our DS has a classic name so I guess it can't be anything too out there.

Although I'm leaning towards Obi-Wan...
