Struggling to decide between these two and need ideas for middle name. Surname is six letters so want to stick to a shortish and modern middle name. We have no family names that we like.

Lucas. But then I like Luca too.

Sausagegoggles · 08/10/2023 22:09

Much prefer Lucas - maybe Lucas James?

GDIL · 08/10/2023 22:09

Lucas.

Lucas

ThreeLeggedPug · 08/10/2023 22:10

Dislike Liam but like Leon

NJMAd · 08/10/2023 22:11

Both are 'rough' names in my experience.

But Lucas is the better of the two.

Derrymum123 · 08/10/2023 22:13

Liam.

Absolutely love both of them, but Liam is my favourite of the two.

Neither of them are the least bit 'rough' as someone said above. What an unpleasant thing to say.

Berlinlover · 08/10/2023 23:44

Lucas. Definitely not Luca.

Shrinkingviolet6 · 08/10/2023 23:47

Definitely Liam - was my choice for DS but DH said no

fridaynight1 · 08/10/2023 23:47

Neither. Luca.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/10/2023 23:49

Liam is short for William, would you use William to start with ?

fourelementary · 08/10/2023 23:51

Liam is lovely and a classic name, popular but not common. Grows with the child as a baby and adult.

DramaAlpaca · 08/10/2023 23:56

Liam is short for William

Well it can be, but it's also the Irish version of William.

Ellmau · 08/10/2023 23:59

Lucas definitely.

sunshineandshowers40 · 09/10/2023 00:03

100% Lucas

Lucas Max

Sounds like a drink...or a Roman Emperor.

"Lucas Maximus".

uncomfortablydumb53 · 09/10/2023 00:10

Mine is Lucas Adam so I vote for that
