Two of my favourite names! So hard to choose. Lucas probably just takes it, but both are great.

SkaneTos · 03/11/2025 10:17

Both are great names!

Leo
Always hated the name Lucas, not sure why!

Lucas

Lucas

Leo. Both the names are very popular though, and the popularity spike of Luca would put me off Lucas. Luke is nice.

Both are mega popular. Do you have a rare surname?

Onefortheroad25 · 03/11/2025 18:12

I love both! Sorry no help!

Leo!

Cat1504 · 03/11/2025 19:49

Lucas

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 03/11/2025 19:51

Both nice. I'd say Lucas

They are both super popular (along with the v similar Luca and Theo) if that bothers you - if it does then Laurence is nice

Lucas

Leo! 🦁

FullOfMomsense · 04/11/2025 00:59

Leo, it's becoming so popular over the last 2 years and I love it! Lucas is a naughty name to me (I know it's terrible but I've met a lot of them and I am ashamed)

Giddykiddy · 04/11/2025 09:46

Love both - slight preference for Leo. So cute on wee one with a bit of coolness/gravitas as he ages. Well gone - usually MN is really critical on name choices

Leo

I'm the same.

They are quite similar really so I'm not sure why, but I much prefer the sound of Leo. Better still for me is Luca.

Leo!

Emanwenym · 04/11/2025 11:27

I don't like Luca. The name is OK but it seems a bit like an overnight fad inspired by a film.

Advocodo · 04/11/2025 11:28

Lucas

I think more of Luca Guadagnino.

JillyGiraffe · 04/11/2025 19:30

Leo!

timoteigirl · 04/11/2025 21:20

Lucas with no doubt.

shoopshoopdedoo · 04/11/2025 21:22

Love Leo!

I like Luke, but I have never liked Lucas and I don’t really know why.
