Luke, or Nicholas, or...?

Luke William

or

Nicholas William

or something brilliant I haven't thought of yet?

Middle name is definitely going to be William; his big brother is called Robert (Robbie). I like Arthur, DH vetoed. He likes Edward, I've vetoed.

I think I like Luke best. In my head the baby is called Luke. I just feel like we've missed... something. (And I'm not sure if I can stand years of 'Luke, I am your father!' from DH.) He's due in a couple of weeks and I think I'd like either a longer short-list to see what he looks like when he arrives, or to feel more definite about Luke.

(Oh and on the off-chance he's a she, we've agreed on Isobel.)

I love both! I think I slightly prefer Luke William.

I love Luke, but I'd have had the same DH issue!

Lucas?

I love Luke, I would have used this only dc was a girl

I like both names but prefer Nicholas William.
Luke William doesn't flow as well as Lucas William would do.

I like Luca more than Luke, I think. I like Nicholas William.

I love Luke.

How do you feel about Nicolas probably unavoidably being shortened to Nick?

I like both Luke and Nicholas, but slightly prefer Nicholas. I agree it would be hard to avoid Nick, but I like Nick!
Peter?

Nicholas.

Nicholas William is a very handsome name. Also, Nicholas is a name you don't seem to hear as often these days, at least I don't think so.

I love the name Nicholas. DH says it sounds like Knickerless. I still like it-he only liked one boy's name in the whole book!

Alexander is also nice, and quite similar to Nicholas. Nick/Luke/Alex all quite similar?

I think Luke William sounds good. I love the name Nicholas but suggest you only use it if you are OK with the name Nick.

I prefer Luke to Lucas but like both. I accidentally called a colleague Lucas instead of Luke once. No point in calling the baby Lucas if you are only ever going to call him Luke.

Luca is a No unless you are Italian.

Nicholas William is lovely.

I'm not a fan of Luke and I seem to know a lot of them, of all ages. Lucas is one of my least favourite boy names, as it rhymes with mucus.

Luke William. Luke is so underused.

Feeling more and more strongly pro-Luke. I do really like Nicholas - I dont mind Nick but don't love it - but I suppose it's inevitable if we do go with Nicholas.

I love Alexander actually but it's a no due to a certain massive arse of our aquaintance called that. Luca makes me think of ice-cream!

Nicholas/Nico.
