Lucas or Leon?

I've always loved the name Lucas but it has become incredibly popular and recently I met the very cool 9 month old :) son of Scandanavian friends, called Leon. It struck me as an equally classic but kinda cool alternative. Which name would you prefer on a baby boy?

I like them both but would probably go for Leon of the two.

Both gorgeous! Leon is certainly the less-popular of the two, though I don't know of any DC with either name (I know two boys called Luca, though).

Love Leon :)

I don't know any boys called Lucas but know two called Leon. Prefer Leon.

both awful in my opinion

Leon

Leon, Lucas too close to mucus!

Two Lucas' in DS2 class alone. Prefer Leon ( although not overly keen on that). Luke is similar and far more classic IMO.

I strongly dislike them both, sorry.

I know a few boys called Lucas under the age of 5. I don't know any Leon's but I do know a lot of Leo's!!! Prefer Leo to Leon but Leon is nicer than Lucas!

Lucas by a mile.

duckfilledfattypuss · 24/09/2015 11:08

I prefer Leon, as Lucas sounds quite harsh to me (Luca is lovely though).

swimmerforlife · 24/09/2015 11:16

Lucas defiantly but prefer Luca.

Dislike Leon a lot.

TiffanyAtBreakfast · 24/09/2015 14:25

I prefer Lucas. Leon reminds me of that rubbish X Factor winner Leon Jackson from ages ago.

Junosmum · 25/09/2015 22:14

Lucas

Narp · 26/09/2015 06:53

I like Leon

I also think Levi is really nice

Prefer Luke to Lucas

Seriouslyffs · 26/09/2015 06:55

Both lovely!

Twooter · 26/09/2015 07:15

I like both but prefer Luke.
