Hi, I did think that we had chosen Lucas but i'm having 2nd thoughts as a friend branded it as chavtastic.

Also i'm worried thst it might get popular due to eastenders and hollyoaks

?? what do you think?

It is becoming more popular but I like it

Am guesing the Lucas in Eastenders will be found out and then leave the show so in a couple of years time will be forgotten all about. Don't watch Hollyoak so can't comment.
Nice name, go for it if you like it

Like it!

Surely a name doesn´t make someone "chavtastic"?

I like it - don't think it's chavvy at all. Unless you spell it Loo-kazz or summink

I really like it. Wanted to call ds1 Lucas but dh wasn't keen. I don't think it's chavvy

Lovely and not chavvy at all- it's the old Latin (Roman) form of Luke. I see so many names described as chavvy on here

Love it, good choice. Some friend eh. Snobtastic.

Nice name, but a bit too popular for my liking. Three of my friends have had baby Lucases this year, so I am getting a bit bored of it!

LynetteScavo · 19/12/2009 17:40

WEll, I do like it, very much, but it is getting very popular. Not chavtastic, though.

mostlymay · 19/12/2009 18:53

I really like it but I know 3 under the age of 2 so it is getting popular not that that should bother you if you like it. I know 2 other babies with the same name as my DD and I don't care about it as she's the best because she's mine

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 19/12/2009 19:44

If we were having another boy we'd have called him Luca by the way. Almost the same.

SqueezinAroundTheXmasTree · 19/12/2009 19:48

Nice but I like Luca better and it's more unusual.

JaneiteQuiteRight · 19/12/2009 19:50

Love it. Deffo not 'chavtastic' whatever that is! I know nothing about Eastenders or Hollyoaks, so can't comment.

Love Luke and Luca too.
