The name of our first future son is set - [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m]. It’s so handsome and regal, I just love it.
Recently, my fiance proposed [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] for a potential second son, which is his favorite name on the planet. It’s… okay. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] just makes me think of [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars. But I think it’s a fair request since I kind of got dibs on the first son’s name with [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. If he loves [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] as much as I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m], how can I deny him that? I don’t hate [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], I’m just not all about it. Does [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] “go” with [name_m]Henry[/name_m]? Thoughts?
Could you suggest some middle names to go with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]? The last name is three syllables and ends with burg.
Nothing wrong w/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]. I slightly favor [name_m]Luke[/name_m], but you can still use it as a nn. You could probably find a mn that shifts your focus away from [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars.
I like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] okay, but I much prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u]/[name_m]Luka[/name_m]. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] could definitely be brothers! By the time baby boy #2 comes around, he may love a whole new name. I change my top names almost weekly! In the event he still loves [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]…
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] is a wonderful name by the way.
rkrd - My fiance is completely aware that he may very well be known as [name_m]Luke[/name_m].
hiccups - I really like [name_u]Luca[/name_u], but that one may take some convincing. I don’t think he will ever shake [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] - he’s been stuck on that name since I met him.
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], and [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] are quite handsome. I had also considered [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]. (Can you tell I like classic names? Haha.) Thanks!
I really love the [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] combo! [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]/[name_m]Luke[/name_m] is a great name, and [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars would not have crossed my mind absent someone mentioning it. Other possible combos:
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Alastair[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (I would have loved [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] as a first name, but it got vetoed… Maybe I can sneak it in as a middle!)
boyandgirl -
Yay, thanks! I felt like they totally clashed, but I’m glad to see that’s just me!
I never would have thought of a [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars connection with [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]. It think the names go together very well. I’m actually more of a fan of [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] than [name_m]Henry[/name_m] ([name_m]Henry[/name_m] is super popular where I live - I know 6, all under the age of 7).
It’s not at the top of my list, either, although I don’t hate it. I think it’s just fine with [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. What about [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] as a middle name? Or, [name_m]William[/name_m]?
