We currently have Lucy Eliza for our girls name but need help with boys names.

Hubby likes Lucas but I'm not so sure. Any ideas?

Just for info, DS1 is Ethan James and surname starts with a D.

Thanks everyone. Most of these are used by family / close friends.

Not keen on Lucius and Luca doesn't sound like a full name, more of a nickname to me (personal preference).

We also need a middle name...

Lucas is really lovely and obviously is similar to Lucy. I think it goes well with Ethan.

What middle name do you have for a boy?

Lucas Edward is nice / similar to Lucy Eliza

No set middle name at the moment so open to suggestions.
Lucus Edward is nice...

What about Oscar Joseph ?

Winkywoop · 18/12/2019 14:05

Luke is a nice name and not very common nowadays.

Louis?
Lawrence?
Alasdair or Alistair?

William as a potential middle name?

TenThousandSpoons · 18/12/2019 14:09

Just Luke - prefer to Luca/Lucas. Not Lucius (Malloy). What about Lewis/Louis? Or if you might have a third child save Lucy for a possible girl and go with something different.

I really like Lucas but if you’re not keen how about Luke? Luca (without S)? Louis? Dylan?

Ethan is a lovely name too by the way

Smoliver · 18/12/2019 23:31

Lucy Eliza is gorgeous!

Shame hubby doesn't like Lewis, I think it's a lovely name.

Lucas is quite popular. I prefer Luke. Luca seems babyish.

Ethan is nice and I know a few.
Lucy Eliza is lovely.
Luke Elijah is a bit similar to it

BonBon411 · 19/12/2019 19:08

Lucas is lovely.

Thanks everyone. Lots of names to consider. Maybe Lucas will grow on me.

Thanks for the comments on our Lucy Eliza name. I do love our girls name. I wish boys names were as easy for us. It took us ages to decide on Ethan James for last time round.
