What kind of name/boy is Lucas?

[hawkmcqueen]

Hi there

So first post for this pregnancy! Only 14 weeks but name obsessed as usual! So was just considering the name Lucas - I noticed it for the first time and then didn't realise it's in the top 30 names.

I have never met a Lucas so do you know any? What are they like? Do you know any children with this name? Or any general impressions?

Thanks!

P.S. I don't know sex yet of course but am convinced it's a boy this time!

Lucas is a very popular name round here so I know lovely ones and ones I would cross the street to avoid. (not much help)

I knew one briefly as a baby. English father, French/German mother, so I think continental

The Lucas I know is a lovely little boy.

Lucas is lovely.

He has a brother called Dylan & they are cute little boys who have the kind of names that don't particularly label them as any class/behaviour etc.

Neutral but nice.

I have a Lucas (age two) and he is a beautiful little boy, who is both serious and bookish (well, as bookish as a toddler can be...) and a goof.

I'm from an Italian background, so wanted something classic but with a slight Euro edge.

Lucas is a nice name. I know of a few, it's gaining popularity. The ones I know have mums who are young, fun, a bit 'left', a bit foreign... they are yummy mummies.

I much prefer Luke if you're considering that too xx

I know a Lucas, a Luca and a Luke - all teenagers.

Luca is the most extrovert, Luke the most introvert, Lucas somewhere in the middle.

I know a gorgeous 15 year old one. He is smart, polite, independent and an all around good guy. He is the brother of Will.
