Lucas or Theo?

[Rtfairy]

What do you think of these names? Lucas is DP's suggestion, Theo is mine. Which do you prefer? If neither any suggestions please? Thanks

I have a Lucas and a Theo! Even though I chose Lucas first, I actually prefer Theo.

Love them both but prefer Lucas. Or you could go for a bit of both and have Leo-my ds name

I like Lucas more than Theo as Theo does sound like a little bit nicknamey. However, if you're bothered about teasing potential, a Lucas I know would probably want me to point out that his name rhymes with mucous
Lucian or Lucius?

Ha, I know 8mo twins called this. No help, just wanted to chip in

My top 2 names if I ever have a DS I prefer Lucas but only slightly :)

Theo . I think it sounds perfectly formal on its own and never thought of it as 'nicknamey', 'faddy', 'footbally', etc. Theo Paphitis seems to have done ok and been taken seriously enough. And it was Vincent Van Gogh's brother's name (he chose to be called this though I think his name was Theodorus).

Theo. not footbally at all, there's one footballer called this I can think of. Lovely name. Full name in its own right, strong and classic.

sorry, can't stand Lucas, it whenever I see it or hear it all I can think of is mucous

yep, Theo is a full name in it's own right,agree there. My Theo used to go to La Jolie Ronde where the teacher would pronounce it the French way,which was very sweet.

Thanks for all your comments. Think we have decided on Lucas with Theo as a middle name. As much as I love Theo my main concern would be people pronouncing it incorrectly as 'Feo'.

Not keen on Lucas, but love Theo.

I wouldn't have linked it with football at all, despite the fact that I am forced to endure the game by the menfolk of my family.

Sorry... I've just seen that you've chosen Lucas .

Good choice rt!

I like both, they are both on my list. I think I prefer Lucas with Luke for short.

They are both lovely my ds1 is theo(dore) and my ds3 has lucas as his middle name :)

Lucas

Both nice.
Lucas has a bit more staying power, think you made right decision!

Both are nice but good choice using both :)

Much prefer Theo, dislike Lucas.

I love Theo!

Lucas
