Lucas

[itsmylife]

Is Lucas a naughty boys name?? My friends seem to think so. I liked Ethan but they put me off of that too!

Is Luke better??

Will Lucas be assocated with this generation too much?

Lucas, lovely name. Most names have generational associations.

Not very keen on Luke personally.

Lucas is a good "man" name as well as a "boy" name.

Nice name but there are a lot of them around here. Personally I would go with Luke instead.

I prefer Luke - it is more classic and timeless. Lucas is a bit faddy for my liking.

(No, it is not a naughty boys' name - naughty boys are called Kieron and Callum)

Naughty boys are very often called Lewis. Ime.

Lucas is lovely, but will quickly date.

Not a big fan of Luke, personally.

I agree, Alouiseg.

WDYT of Ethan?

Personally not keen.

Lucas,Lucas,Lucas shakes pompoms

Ethan is a bit American, as is Lucas. Lucas reminds me of STARWARS (George Lucas). Ethan also sounds like the beginning of Ethanol - I don't know what that is ... some sort of chemical / medical drug?

Lucas is lovely, sounds really nice.
Luke is OK, but just a bit meh.
Luca is the naughty one.

I loathe Ethan. Mainly because I can't help but say it with a whiney nasal voice.

I know a naughty Lucas so do associate it with being a naughty name.

I much prefer Luke- much more classic and less of a time than Lucas.

Lol, Ethanol is alcohol! maybe not a good omen.

Lucas is fabulous!
I have one and he always been a v 'good', well liked by children and adults (and much easier than his sisters)

I don't know any naughty boys called Lucas.

It probably will be rather 'of this generation' as it has rapidly become popular.

I don't like Ethan at all I'm afraid.

Other names which remind me of Lucas (or siblings of a Lucas that I have heard of):
Jasper
Felix
Oliver
Linus
Peter
Henry
Nathaniel/ Nathan
Marcus

Lucas is lovely though very now.

I know two Lukes of my generation. Both very naughty indeed. The oldest of them is in prison he's that naughty.

Ethan is v American and just meh.

I like it, but I prefer Marcus. I wouldn't have thought Lucas was a naughty boy name. But I'm not a teacher.

I think Lucas is THE trendy name of this year, and has become popular v quickly (due to spooks?) so I wouldn't use it. Ethan is ok. Love Luke- classic, biblical, popular but over a longer period of time. Good strong name.

Lucas is a great name.
Stop telling your friends!

If you like the name use it.

I like Lucas.

I didn't choose my sons name until 4 hours before going into labour. I was rather fixated about "what people would think" etc. In retrospect I think I'd have chosen his name sooner if I hadn't been thinking about that or listening to friends advice

My son is called Jacob and Lucas is lovely. I haven't read the whole thread but it's your baby, choose whatever feels right to you as the parents

I love my children´s names and they have both been called common, chavvy & pretentious on here.

They were unusual when we chose them& are now more popular-guess we just have good taste
So I would say use the name you like-don´t not use it in case it becomes popular.

Unless you make up a name- you´re unlikely never to hear of another child with the same name.

Moral is-if you love the name, use it!

Alouiseg - I agree with you

Prefer Luke, as I think Lucas sounds fussier.

I have a Lucas but he is 4 so we probably got in before it becamme too popular, he is the only one at his playschool that I know of.

When he was a baby we called him Lukey and now he is getting older I often shorten it to Luke when I'm talking to him. I like the fact it gives flexability really - I'm sure when he is older he will be know to his friends as Luke but he will also have Lucas as a more professional sounding name.

He is not naughty at all by the way, well not yet anyway

How can Lucas date quickly? It's a biblical name and has been there forever!

My Lucas is 13 and the name used to raise an eyebrow, is it really so popular now..?
