Lucas or Theo

LynetteScavo · 01/10/2008 14:23

Lucas or Theo.

Sesi · 01/10/2008 16:03

I like Hayden.

Lucas is ok - how about Luca? That's a great name.

Theo imo is getting way to popular and is a bit unimaginative now.

I like them but I have a thinkg against diminutives and theo is surely short for theodore or something? it seems wrong to give a kid a diminutive as if they have the full name they can chose to shorten it or not as an adult

also like luca more than lucus

zebedee1 · 01/10/2008 20:08

Theo
Lucas

Not Hayden!

changer22 · 01/10/2008 20:47

Theo is very popular here but I prefer Theodore.

Lucas gets my vote.

LaDiDaDi · 01/10/2008 22:35

Not Hayden.

nooka · 01/10/2008 22:48

I prefer Theodore as a given name, but all the Theodores I now are always Theo. My big brother is a Theo, and my mum tells this highly flattering story about how people would ask his name, and then tut as they thought he was called Theobald. He got his hair late...

I doubt there is going to be enough of a flurry of Theos to mean he would share his name with too many.

CarolsFavouritesAunt · 02/10/2008 11:47

Theo (Theodore?)
Lucas or Luca
Charles

Any of the above, but I'll obviously love him even if you name him Satan

CarolsFavouritesAunt · 02/10/2008 11:50

Hugh! I like Hugh (was on our list if DD was a boy).

dinkymum · 03/10/2008 18:40

Theo, my little nephews Theo so i'm a bit biased though!! congratulations xx

ThinWhiteDuchess · 03/10/2008 22:37

Lucas or Theo, not so keen on Hayden. Hmm, thinking a bit more, definitely like Lucas the best of the three.

MrsWeasley · 03/10/2008 22:39

Theo is lovely.

hunkermunker · 03/10/2008 22:42

I like Theo best.

Lucas rhymes - anyone watch Desperate Housewives?

And Luca reminds me of filthy lucre.

I am neutral on Hayden.

SBMJLJ · 03/10/2008 22:48

Lucas definately for me. I have a Luke which I like even more. Not too common and still love it today as much as 7 years ago when we chose it.

ScummyMummy · 05/10/2008 01:02

not massively keen on any of them but if it was choose or die I'd go for Lucas.

lou33 · 05/10/2008 01:12

theo

LittlePushka · 05/10/2008 01:17

Love Hayden! Swim against the flow girl!!

notsoteenagemum · 05/10/2008 01:33

Theo if any but tbh not fussed on any.
Hayden is proper chav round here that flow has a reason.

Mammina · 05/10/2008 09:30

Lucas. Don't like Hayden I'm afraid

bikerunski · 05/10/2008 15:24

Lucas, no hayden.

bluebump · 05/10/2008 16:48

I have a Theo so that's my favourite! I think it's starting to be a popular name at the moment. People keep asking me if I named him after Theo Walcott but as a Spurs supporter the answer is a big no!

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 05/10/2008 16:54

Theo is the nicest of the names but is very popular around here - almost on the level of Jack, Joshua and Harry (another three nice names).

jellybeans · 05/10/2008 21:54

I like all of them. Prob Lucas best though.

LittlePushka · 06/10/2008 13:47

Still like Hayden,...no Chavs here! come live on the moors!!
