DS
2 due soon, we've narrowed it down to two names, Aidan and Lucas. We like both equally and can't decide between the two. DS1 is Archie. What would you go for?

Also can't decide if I prefer the spelling Aidan or Aiden!

Lucas gets my vote.

verybadhairdoo · 29/07/2014 22:52

Aidan with a an A definitely

Aidan is a nice normal name in Ireland but I think the Americans have over used it. I know more Lucases.

I prefer Marcus. Sorry!

Sophronia · 29/07/2014 23:32

Lucas.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 29/07/2014 23:35

Lucas definitely.

bouncingbelle · 29/07/2014 23:54

Aidan with an a. Goes great with Archie and Lucus sounds like mucus!

peanutbutterandoreos · 29/07/2014 23:59

Lucas

Def Lucas Smile

Def Aidan by a long shot!
There are Lucases everywhere!

Well you lot are no help! Grin

Neither are hugely popular names where I live, I don't know any kids with either of those names. That said DS1 is only in nursery so once he makes the move up to primary I'll probably stand corrected.

Lucas.

Lucas.

Pandora37 · 30/07/2014 09:28

Lucas, I think it sounds better with Archie.

KeeperOfBees · 30/07/2014 10:14

Lucas.

birdofthenorth · 30/07/2014 11:14

Aidan. Lucas is nice but is having. A popularity peak right now.

Bowlersarm · 30/07/2014 11:19

Lucas

flipchart · 30/07/2014 11:22

Aidan. There are so many Lucas's around at the moment - it is a nice name though.
You mightn't know any now but by the time your lad goes to primary school or secondary there will be loads of them!

bouquetofpencils · 30/07/2014 12:02

Lucas.

Theonlyoneiknow · 30/07/2014 12:59

Another vote for Aidan! Such a great name and sounds lovely with sibling

Archie and Aidan

ButterflyOfFreedom · 30/07/2014 13:15

I love Aidan (and Hayden)!

Though think Lucas goes better with Archie.

BlueChampagne · 30/07/2014 14:06

I have my own Aidan so obviously love it and would definitely spell it with an a. However, I'd go for Lucas with Archie, as I'd prefer them to have different initials.

ShovettyMcShovetty · 30/07/2014 15:18

Love them both so can't help unfortunately! Maybe Aidan by a slim margin.

SummerScoop · 30/07/2014 19:14

Another Aidan vote here, Archie and Aidan are lovely together.

I secretly prefer the spelling Aiden though.

hlc123 · 30/07/2014 19:16

Aiden is lovely

TheFillyjonk · 30/07/2014 19:17

Aidan, though I also prefer the spelling Adrian.

Lucas makes me think of locusts and now mucus as well as Mr Lucas from Adrian Mole.
