@NeverHadANickname

Yep, me too.

Lucas Carter is a bit different and utterly fabulous, and Lucas James is a bit safer but still really good. I love them both.

I like Lucas Carter best, closely followed by Lucas Jasper and then Lucas James or Lucas Noah. Congrats!!

Charlottejbt · 12/06/2020 02:51

I think they are all fine except Carter. Beauden is a joke, surely??

Lucas James

GinasWig · 12/06/2020 05:00

Lucas should be the middle name
From your list Lucas Oscar flows nicely then Lucas Austen.
The S end needs a vowel start. 2 consonents doesnt roll off the tongue.

lopdedop · 12/06/2020 05:01

I think, as you have a 2 syllable first and last name, a 1 syllable middle name flows better. So, James gets my vote.

ttigerlilly · 12/06/2020 05:04

Lucas James is lovely

Peachbubble · 12/06/2020 06:37

James or Noah

Lucas James

Phoebeboo · 12/06/2020 06:53

Lucas Noah and Lucas Carter are my favourites.

Blursula · 12/06/2020 06:54

Carter or James. Jasper doesn’t flow with a B surname IMO

BigusBumus · 12/06/2020 06:56

Beauden?! 😂

IckleBear · 12/06/2020 08:21

Lucas Noah sounds the best

Dontjudgeme101 · 12/06/2020 08:27

Lucas Noah

Nel246 · 12/06/2020 09:12

Thank you all for replying.
Lucas Carter and Lucas James are my top 2 I think.

@BigusBumus....after rugby player Beauden Barrett. DP is a big fan ha!

Fair enough @Nel246!

I wrongly assumed you must be a fan of Boden but wanted a unique spelling! Sorry Grin

Chinesetakeawaay · 12/06/2020 09:36

I'm in the minority but I quite like Lucas Beauden, it flows quite nicely

BigusBumus · 12/06/2020 09:40

But if the surname starts with a B and is 2 syllables, say Button or Barker or Bolton for example would't Beauden sound completely wrong?

Admittedly having previously laughed at Beauden I now really like it! Depends on the surname though.
