Lucas or Miles?

DH has finally started to engage with baby names and has brought Lucas to the table. I like the name but I still think Miles is the top contender for me.

Which do you prefer, Lucas or Miles?

Lucas

Love them both. Miles squeaks it because of a certain boy at school

Miles! Like a PP, I vastly prefer Luke to Lucas.

pinklavenders · 28/06/2022 17:14

Miles are like Kilometres imo.

Lucas is ok but a bit close to Mucus.

welshpolarbear · 28/06/2022 17:20

I don't think Lucas is anything like Mucus op and I think they're being unreasonable saying that.

Both names are nice. I'll say Lucas as I have a Luca myself 😄

Miles

Absolutely Lucas

Miles. I like Lucas too, but the ones I know are in their 20s, so it feels a bit more dated, though it’s a great name.

I really dislike Miles sorry.

I do really like Lucas though. Gorgeous name, well known name but I don't think it's overly popular, at least not in my area

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 28/06/2022 20:16

Love Miles. Miles Jupp.

Lucas is a naughty boy name for me.

Wammawink · 28/06/2022 21:00

Lucas

Ellmau · 28/06/2022 23:17

Both are very nice, but I slightly prefer Lucas.

I love the name Luca.

I know a Luca and he's the most adorable personality in a person Ive ever met.

Miles or Luca! Much prefer Luca to Lucas

pinklavenders · 29/06/2022 14:32

Luca sounds so feminine to me.

Freddie456 · 29/06/2022 14:33

We went with Miles for our baby boy born who was on Monday. Thank you all for helping us choose.

Miles

Not keen on Lucas/Luke/Louis etc but can't give a clear reason why...

Frida9 · 30/06/2022 12:55

Miles, Lucas reminds me of mucus unfortunately
