Lucas or Miles?

DH has finally started to engage with baby names and has brought Lucas to the table. I like the name but I still think Miles is the top contender for me.

Which do you prefer, Lucas or Miles?

Miles, Lucas reminds me of mucus unfortunately

Miles

Not keen on Lucas/Luke/Louis etc but can't give a clear reason why...

We went with Miles for our baby boy born who was on Monday. Thank you all for helping us choose.

Congratulations! Lovely choice.

Miles.

Lucas is ugly. Mucus.

Luca sounds so feminine to me.

Miles or Luca! Much prefer Luca to Lucas

I don't think Lucas is anything like Mucus op and I think they're being unreasonable saying that.

Both names are nice. I'll say Lucas as I have a Luca myself 😄

I love the name Luca.

I know a Luca and he's the most adorable personality in a person Ive ever met.

urbanbuddha · 28/06/2022 23:26

Lucas.

Ellmau · 28/06/2022 23:17

Both are very nice, but I slightly prefer Lucas.

Wammawink · 28/06/2022 21:00

Lucas

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 28/06/2022 20:16

Love Miles. Miles Jupp.

Lucas is a naughty boy name for me.

17caterpillars1mouse · 28/06/2022 20:14

I really dislike Miles sorry.

I do really like Lucas though. Gorgeous name, well known name but I don't think it's overly popular, at least not in my area

daisypond · 28/06/2022 20:01

Miles. I like Lucas too, but the ones I know are in their 20s, so it feels a bit more dated, though it’s a great name.

hattie43 · 28/06/2022 19:18

Absolutely Lucas

xmasaries · 28/06/2022 19:17

Miles

Miles are like Kilometres imo.

Lucas is ok but a bit close to Mucus.

danascully96 · 28/06/2022 17:03

Miles! Like a PP, I vastly prefer Luke to Lucas.

MrsTerryPratchett · 27/06/2022 01:25

Love them both. Miles squeaks it because of a certain boy at school

SirenSays · 27/06/2022 01:24

Lucas

caringcarer · 27/06/2022 00:47

Lucas

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/06/2022 00:13

Miles

Lucas is very of the moment, it’s alright but prefer Luke

Quornflakegirl · 26/06/2022 21:39
