Final four - boy name

[Monket]

Hi, we’re down to our final four but can’t decide! Anything we should consider regarding any of these:

Lucas
Marcus
Marius
Leo

Do they sound well with your surname and are the initials fine?

Do you like ..
Luke
Mark
Leonard

Lucas and Leo are my favourites from your list - lovely names. Quite popular, if that matters to you?

Marcus sounds a little dated to me but fine, and it’s much less popular on the plus side.

I don’t know anyone called Marius - it’s much less commonly used and so I might assume it linked to a heritage, which is lovely.

Combine all four to make Lucario?

Lucas is my favourite.

Leo

Lucas

Lucas.

I love Leo. My Joe could have been a Leo…x

I vote for Lucas

This cracked me up.

No issues with surname or initials. DH prefers Lucas, which seems to be the winner so far! I prefer less frequently encountered names, so have reservations around Lucas and Leo.

Marcus is a bit dated for me and Marius is nice but v French and assoc w les mis as long as you’re ok with that. Leo and Lucas are nice but v popular. Bug overall they are all fine.

I'm not sure about Marius, but the rest are good.

I'd probably choose Leo, but only because anything ending in 's' doesn't work with my surname.

Lucas is nice, just extremely popular - 3 in my sons nursery right now!
leo nice too but I also know 3 toddler leos.

I like Luke or Lee.

Funny you say about Marius and Le Mis - DH said the same but I’ve seen Les Mis at least twice and I had completely forgotten about Marius…

Interesting to hear Marcus is dated. We have two older DSs and they both have very unusual names, so I can’t decide whether having a Leo is a cop-out or a breath of fresh air!

I love Leo. Short and simple, masculine and easy to spell. What’s not to love❤️

Lucas just makes me think of mucus.

Leo is nice

Lucas just makes me think of mucus.

Mucas Marcus.

Lucas or Leo for me!

We know a Leonidas, nickname Leo. Gives the trendy name but a longer option too.

I think we’d go with Leonidas tbh. It was a bit of a in-joke ahead of our first son, and would be nice to come full circle in a way…

Marcus is great.
Lucas is ok but there are a lot of them. And yes, mucus. Luke is nicer.
Don't like the others.

I've got a lucas. I wouldn't actually say it's that popular really but popular enough to be able to buy personalised stuff in shops lol

Lucas was my maiden name, so a no from me, Mark is nice tho

Leo and Lucas are both great names, so I'm glad it's not me having to decide.
The other two not so much.
