Lucas?

I can't decide on a name. Me and my partner like a name for a while and then we decide we don't want to use it for some reason

At the moment the name is Lucas, but we're not sure as we don't want his name to be shortened to Luke when he's a baby (when he's older and at school etc it'd obviously be his choice).

Weve shortened our list and we also agree on: Finn, Thomas (but we can't use it), and Ryan. At the top is Lucas though.

Opinions please

I would never think to shorten Lucas to Luke. I've never heard of it. No matter the age of the Lucas.
It would like Marcus becoming a MarkConfused.

Of your list of names I only like Ryan.

I've never known a Lucas be shortened. It's very popular though.

Never known a Lucas to be shortened to Luke so that wouldn't be a worry for me.

Prefer Finn from your list but Lucas is perfectly good name too
