Luke Walker?

Boy Names

We love the name [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] ([name_m]Luke[/name_m]) but our last name is [name_u]Walker[/name_u]. Is it totally unusable? :frowning:

:slight_smile: I did immediately think of [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Skywalker but I don’t think it’s unusable at all. It’s a cool reference and kind said won’t immediately think of [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars. [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]Walker[/name_u] has a nice ring to it.

It took me a minute to figure out why you were asking—I didn’t see the connection immediately. I think it’s fine! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] and [name_m]Luke[/name_m].

I think it’s fine! [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] [name_u]Walker[/name_u] especially separates it from [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars and i think the fact [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_u]Walker[/name_u] are both fairly familiar means it works

Thank you for your opinions!

I thought of [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Skywalker immediately, and I don’t even like [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars.
It’s not a dealbreaker but I think it’d be annoying to have people go like “Oh, like [name_m]Luke[/name_m] Skywalker!” every time you introduced yourself. What about [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], or [name_m]Alec[/name_m].

Yes, we would do [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] as the full name. However, I know we’d end up calling him [name_m]Luke[/name_m].

I definitely thought of [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars. However, a little boy would probably love that association, and it’s not like it’s so overpowering that he will dislike it as an adult
