My daughter is Eva and now having a boy. Cant decide between

Eva & Luca
or
Eva & Lucas.

I know theres not much difference but keep thinking Lucas is maybe going to be more popular n therefore end up with lots in his class at school but maybe goes better with Eva : / x x

Lucas. Definitely.

The 'a' endings are too similar with Luca.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 17/01/2014 19:54

Lucas

CPtart · 17/01/2014 20:01

Lucas rather than Luca
Luke rather than Lucas

If you have any Italian ancestory, then Luca. Otherwise Lucas.

I have a Luca. Much prefer it to Lucas.
We've never met another one but there's a few Lucas' in his school.

lollydollydrop · 18/01/2014 09:32

I prefer Luca But Lucas goes Much better with Eva

I prefer Luca But Lucas goes Much better with Eva

Eva and Lucas is lovely.

squoosh · 18/01/2014 15:33

I prefer Lucas.

hoppinghare · 18/01/2014 15:42

I don't think either 'go' with eva. I do like the name luca though and eva is a beautiful name. I'm not too keen on lucas. Someone once said it reminded them of something else and now it's all I hear when someone says lucas. I'll not put it in your head in case you use it.

LyndaCartersBigPants · 18/01/2014 15:53

Agree that Lucas sounds better as the 'a' ending on Eva and Luca makes them a bit samey.

Fwiw, both are family names for me and I love them!

shallweshop · 18/01/2014 15:56

Lucas.

Theonlyoneiknow · 18/01/2014 16:11

Lucas, for some reason i think of Luca as a girls name, not sure why!

browneyesblue · 18/01/2014 16:15

Lucas - Luca, although also lovely, is too 'samey' when paired with Eva

loveisagirlnameddaisy · 18/01/2014 16:17

My DS is Lucas so obviously I'm biased but I know someone with an Ava and a Luca and I'd never considered it sounded odd. I like both options but on balance prefer Lucas.

loveisagirlnameddaisy · 18/01/2014 16:19

hoppinghare we do call DS Lucas Mucus as a joke sometimes (he's only 18 months so totally oblivious)

SoonToBeSix · 18/01/2014 16:27

Luca by far

squoosh · 18/01/2014 16:28

Luca sounds quite faddy whereas Lucas has a bit more weight to it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/01/2014 16:33

Lucas.

Eva and Luca v samey.

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 18/01/2014 16:38

TheseAreTheJokesFolks · 18/01/2014 16:38

Chelseylou · 18/01/2014 18:50

Lucas :-) x

Rosencrantz · 19/01/2014 01:38

Can't have 2 a endings! So therefore Lucas. Which is much cooler than Luca.

Nataleejah · 19/01/2014 13:29

Lucas or Luke. Luca is a girls name in Eastern Europe
