Sorry but it reminds me of a highly religious American.

I went to school with one. He was very cool.

First thought- Vandross. Second thought- I could imagine DS having a friend with the name and I wouldn't think it particularly odd. Unusual but not odd. Third thought, great name for a cat. Wink

I like it but

As I am 45 my immediate thought was Lex Luther, Supermans arch enemy

Luther is a beautiful name... Luther Vabdross comes tobmind. Martin Luther of course comes to mind as well.

Gemerama82 · 19/09/2014 20:47

I thought vandross and then superman baddie

I just think Luther the crime drama, so it just makes me think of a gruff black man :P

I guess it's not a bad name, I just can't shake the association. And I didn't even watch the program Confused

I like it. Very strong.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 20/09/2014 00:52

I associate it with Lucifer. Unsure why, except for the similar sound.

hellokitty123 · 20/09/2014 07:06

Luther is a great name! Strong and classic. And not overused.

youbethemummylion · 20/09/2014 07:10

Like Luther people will try to shorten it to Lou which I don't like.

I also thought of Lucifer and then Lex Luther.

KatieKaye · 20/09/2014 07:18

It makes me think of dOur and restrictive Protestants - sorry!

zirca · 20/09/2014 07:21

Bad associations!

morechildrenplease · 20/09/2014 07:24

Very religious ie born again Christian. Obviously fine if that is what you are. Or Luther Vandross.

Hammerandnails · 20/09/2014 07:27

Lucifer springs to mind for me, which I know doesn't really make sense.

MiddletonPink · 20/09/2014 07:33

Immediate association was with John Luther played by Idris Elba. Who is the most beautiful man ever born. But as a first name? I'm not sure.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/09/2014 18:33

Dreadful, imvho.

HumblePieMonster · 21/09/2014 21:34

What do I think of Luther? I love him. Big proddy hero, reformer, objecting to the abuses perpetrated by the Church of Rome. Held great dinner parties. Nothing to do with 'Lucifer' at all. www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/luther_martin.shtml

LBNM19 · 21/09/2014 23:10

Don't like it at all.

foofooyeah · 21/09/2014 23:13

I didn't notice the topic and clicked hoping it was a thread about Idris Elba. .... Hopefully with pictures

MiddletonPink · 22/09/2014 09:35

FooFoo me too.

I've just watched all Luther series on Netflix. Idris Elba is gorgeous. Major crush on him.

DogCalledRudis · 22/09/2014 11:40

Idris Elba...

cherrybombxo · 22/09/2014 15:50

Lex Luther. No.
