Baby name Lucas or Archie?

[Ceh512]

Hello…we are expecting a baby boy and we are very torn between Lucas or Archie? We really like them both but just can’t decide!

Lucas as it’s more unusual and a better name ime.

Ds played footy today with a Lucas on the opposite team. Lots of shouting. Made me think of Mucas Mucas. Awful ime..
Luca is better....

Lucas

Don't like Archie I'm afraid, I prefer Lucas but like Luca more!

Both are nice - I think I prefer Archie slightly.

I don’t really like either, but would have to choose Lucas

I prefer Archie

I much prefer Lucas.

I know a Lucas and he is honestly one of the loveliest kids I've ever met. So I'm biased, but I think Lucas is a great name

Lucas, or Luca.

Lucas

Archie is a shortening of Archibald.

I think Lucas is really nice.

Archie is not a name. It's a shortened form of Archibald (can't believe no-one told Meghan and Harry).

Thanks. We don’t really mind shortened names on the bc so ok with Archie in that respect. My concern with it is whether it’s more of a name for a little boy rather than an adult. With Lucas my DH is worried it would get shortened to Luke which he doesn’t like (but I don’t think that it would).

What’s wrong with Luke? Not Archie.

I like Lucas a lot. Archie is OK, but I prefer Lucas.

I've never known any of the boys around me called Lucas get shortened to Luke. They're two different names to me.

I prefer Luke to Lucas, and Luca is faddy.
Not keen on Archie and it gets shortened to Arch.

@SharpLily , thousands of babies have been registered as Archie so it's a name.

I have a Luca and it has never shortened. He's 21 and I seem to meet new ones every year so I don't think its faddy. 😉

I like Lucas. DH vetoed it for ours because he used to work with a Lucas who was a twat. However I think it would get shortened to Luke ( which I also like!)

I prefer Luca to Lucas, could be a nickname for it though. Really don’t like Archie.

Lucas.

Just much prefer Lucas to Luke but to me they are distinct names. Also thought Lucas might get more popular because of Zara (not necessarily a bad thing).

Lucas - Archie, Alfie, Albie etc will date so much.
