I know these are both fairly popular names but just wondering what others thought of

Elliott
Lucas

Other names I like but have gone off as I know people with children named this recently, were George, Stanley, Oscar, Isaac, Theo. I'm aware these are all popular names, but can't help what I like!
Any other suggestions welcome :)

I like them both, I prefer Elliot slightly more than Lucas.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 05/05/2021 16:43

I love Lucas!

Astronaut8 · 05/05/2021 16:44

I love Elliot

Camandmitch · 05/05/2021 16:59

I like both, slightly prefer Elliot

YoniAndGuy · 05/05/2021 17:03

Like Lucas, really not keen on Elliott - it's one of those slightly odd names to me!

DotDotDotDotDot · 05/05/2021 18:10

Lucas and Elliott are both great, although I would probably choose Lucas out of the two. Maybe Zachary, Micah, Reuben, Felix?

Flymetothestars · 05/05/2021 18:16

Really like both

How about:

Ellis
Eli
Laurence Laurie
Austin
Tristan

I love them both!

Violetlavenders · 05/05/2021 18:21

Both nice names. How about Edward, Quentin or Felix?

Ellmau · 05/05/2021 18:57

Love Lucas.

Elliott is too surnamey for me, although I know it's become quite popular as a first name lately.

Jasper?

Lucas rhymes with mucus and I find it hard to get over. I prefer Elliott.

What about Luca instead of Lucas?

Happenchance · 05/05/2021 19:32

I prefer Elliot. Lucas is too similar to mucus.

My thoughts exactly! Can't hear Lucas without thinking mucus. Really do like Elliot but also like Luca too as an alternative to Lucas Smile

I have an irrational dislike of the name Lucas. It is very wet sounding as a first name and I also know two families who have it as a surname.
Much prefer Elliot.

partyatthepalace · 05/05/2021 20:33

Like Lucas a lot. Probably prefer Luke though.

Linus and Laurence also good and less popular
Don’t like Elliot, dunno why. Just makes me think of fussy American professors, with red hair (?!?!)
Lucian, Nathaniel, Gabriel, Dominic, Alastair feel similar but nicer to me - also Joshua, Josiah

I really hate the name Lucas. Much prefer Elliot.

Tokyo87 · 06/05/2021 05:20

Thanks everyone, I am leaning slightly more towards Elliott, would also need to figure which spelling to use?! I think I prefer with two t's but can imagine his whole life people will misspell with just the one. 🤔
Also like Luca however reminds me of one I know and know lots of Luke's. Also like Zachary but have a family member named this. Felix and Jasper remind me of pet names! I just think of a cat for felix lol

There's nothing wrong with a name being popular! I like both but prefer Lucas. I like your other names listed too, particularly George and Oscar.
