Luke, Lucas or Luca?

Just the above!

Thinking about options for baby boy's names and love all of these but not sure which option to go for.

Older sister has a very classic four letter name beginning and ending with A...

Luca 🙂

DancinOnTheCeiling · 02/10/2023 20:59

I second Luca ♥️

MargotBamborough · 02/10/2023 20:59

Luke.

TenThousandSpoons · 02/10/2023 20:59

I prefer Luke

Louis
Luca and Luke VERY common at my primary school.

Riverlee · 02/10/2023 21:01

Luca sounds more European to me.
Luke - classic name
Lucas - less common

Mumofteenandtween · 02/10/2023 21:01

Luke. It is a gorgeous name plus goes better with older sister’s name.

17caterpillars1mouse · 02/10/2023 21:02

I like Lucas best

Then Luca - though it seems to be trending atm plus think I would avoid using another 4 letter name ending in an A

Then Luke which I like but not as much. It seems to suit an adult more than a baby compared to the other two, not that that's necessarily an issue

HuntingoftheSnark · 02/10/2023 21:02

Luke would go better with Anna.

Sleepnplay · 02/10/2023 21:32

Luke or Lucas would go better with your dd's name I think

mrsed1987 · 02/10/2023 21:47

I have a lucas. Don't come across it very often

WhyDoesItAlways · 02/10/2023 22:47

I have a lucas who also gets called luke and luca as nicknames (and lukie when we're messing around). So I would go with lucas and he can then pick his own nickname if he prefers.

Luke.
Cool hand Luke.

Lovely name.

Lucas is also lovely.

Not keen on Luca, reminds me of

Luke

The other two are very overused right now, and Luca (because it’s not traditionally used here and become popular very quickly) will date.

mychickshaveflown · 02/10/2023 23:49

Lucas.

This.

Luca seems strange without Italian heritage, but very popular nevertheless. They are all lovely.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 03/10/2023 00:21

Luke.

user1492757084 · 03/10/2023 04:29

Luke sounds the nicest with AxxA.

Lucas rhymes with mucous.
Luca is trendy rather than classic.

Do you like Louis?

cptartapp · 03/10/2023 06:20

Luke. I have one.

Babynamef · 03/10/2023 06:21

Luca for me 😊 followed by Lucas then Luke

dayofcheese · 03/10/2023 06:22

Luke

Luca is such a trendy name at the moment - there are loads

FayCarew · 03/10/2023 06:24
