Hello, we have just found out we are having a baby boy. As much as we are over the moon, we were more set on a girls name! We are between Lucas, Reuben and Theo. What are people's thoughts? Also I was very prepared to be a girl mummy but a bit scared to be a boy mum but excited. Any hints or tips to get me prepared for our boy?

Thank you for reading

I have a 14 year old Lucas and he is lovely.

Mostly.

Theo is a lovely name. I know more Reubens than Theos. Dont like Lucas.

Congratulations! I like Theo short for Theodore!

All 3 are lovely! Theo is my favourite 🤩 I have a boy and two girls and my boy is by far the easiest 😂

Lucas is a lovely name .Theo is nice. Reuben - not so nice.

They are all nice

I’d go for Reuben, because Theo is insanely overused right now. Reuben and Luca are both very popular, but Reuben is less faddy than Luca so it won’t date in the same way.

(I agree w PPs that pee in your eye is the only difference you have to worry about for some time.)

Love Reuben, really like Theo but it's sooo popular where we are. Depends if that would bother you. Not keen on Lucas personally but really like Luke and Luca.

Lucas. Theo and Reuben are overused.

I like all three, Reuben probably is the nicest in my opinion

Reuben is fab.

I have two boys and never had the pee fountain until I had a daughter. As an infant, she would pee every time her nappy was removed.
DH is a Theo, I know a Leo named after his late grandad, a Lucas in my son's class and a Reuben in my other son's rugby group. All very lovely names, I'd probably pick Reuben.
