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?

It doesn't matter how long a name's been around. Jason and Sharon are Biblical! Kevin's been around for centuries.

How old a name is has no relevance. 98% of names in use are real names with some history.

I dislike Lucas. It's the new Connor/Kai/Liam type name in my opinion. Very harsh sounding.

Well he dislikes you too. So ner.

well, I have a Lucas, he is 2..I have to say, I have not heard any other boys called Lucas round here.

I think it is a lovely name, we do not shorten it, he is a Lucas, not a Luke/Luc..but he can do so when he is older is he wishes.

I do not think it is harsh sounding at all.

Tbh, in the end, I would pay no attention to what anyone else thinks of a name, if you like it then ignore everyone else. There will always be people who say a name is chavvy or common or a naughty childs name (clearly unlike the names they have chosen/will choose for their offspring then!)

I can think of worse harsh sounding names than Lucas TBH!!

dizzydixies · 19/03/2010 18:18

and there is exactly the reason for not discussing names prior to giving the baby one

absolutely nothing wrong with either Ethan or Lucas

I think Luke is a bit of a shame for a young child as I imagine everytime someone says look they would turn round

am more of a fan of Luca than Lucas though

I have a Lucas and he is a very good boy! Have always loved the name, it was never as unusual as I would have liked but is far less common than Luke. Lucas is a classic name, not faddy at all! I get lots of comments from people who think its a lovely name.
