I only like Lucas. It's a brilliant name.

kickingKcurlyC · 20/04/2012 17:42

Like them all. Sorry!

Elsathelion · 20/04/2012 17:44

They are all great - I love Lucas!

GonnaBuildAHouse · 20/04/2012 17:45

I like them all.

BikeRunSki · 20/04/2012 17:48

Lucas

Gumby · 20/04/2012 17:49

They're quite traditional aren't they?
I don't like any of them!
Sorry!

oikopolis · 20/04/2012 17:51

you won't go wrong with any of them, they're all good.

my personal preference: James is best, Lucas a closeish second, Matthew a bit of a trailing third.

ripsishere · 20/04/2012 17:54

All fantastic names, proper sensible won't embarrass you names.
My order of preference is Matthew, Lucas then James.

Yellowangel · 20/04/2012 17:55

James and Matthew both classic feel Lucas is a bit faddy.
James
Matthew
Lucas
In that order

Montsti · 20/04/2012 17:55

I like them all (not my personal favourites but all nice names) in the order you have written them I.e. Lucas best....James and Matthew a little bit more boring IMO. I would definitely go with Lucas (maybe use 1 or both of the other names as mns - also gives you an option of changing your mind later as I know a few people who use their middle names as their first names)...

Irunbru5 · 20/04/2012 17:58

Love James and Matthew dislike Lucas

MoonHare · 20/04/2012 18:00

James, Matthew, Lucas in that order - not really keen on Lucas at all.

squoosh · 20/04/2012 18:01

Lucas

Fabnews · 20/04/2012 18:02

James

GrimmaTheNome · 20/04/2012 18:09

James, Matthew - Lucas OK but don't like it much.

Does of course depend on your surname too how it sounds.

gafhyb · 20/04/2012 19:21

Matthew. Lovely name

BBQJuly · 20/04/2012 19:26
  1. James
  2. Matthew
  3. Lucas
wigglesrock · 20/04/2012 19:27

I like them all but if I'm pushed Matthew, then James, then Lucas.

ZenNudist · 20/04/2012 19:46

Lucas is my favourite of your selection. It's classic but not totally overdone

Surf25 · 20/04/2012 19:54

Matthew or Lucas. Not a fan of the name James for some unaccountable reason!

Lucas always sounds like Mucas to me :(

James and Matthew are gorgeous, classic names that will suit a little boy but also a man, and won't embarress him when he's older (and called Bear, Tangerine etc.... )

MarySA · 20/04/2012 20:15

I'm not keen on any of these I'm afraid. There are a lot of children called Matthew and James. And they are certainly OK names and won't date. Whereas Lucas might fall into the faddy names category.

winkle2 · 20/04/2012 21:47

All lovely but in order of preference-

Lucas
James
Matthew

HatchedAtTheHutch · 20/04/2012 21:48

Loving Lucas too
