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!!

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.
