Personal experiences with the name Lucas: | Edit

I have a Lucas. He is our third son of four. He's siblings are: Ethan (11), Benjamin(8), and Roman(1).

His name is Lucas Isaac. And he is definitely my sunshine and laughter (Isaac). His name suits him perfectly.

Living in Germany now, and it's a pretty popular name. Lucas (Lukas) is Luke in German also.

All our sons have Biblical names... His nick name is Luca.

My sister named her first born Lucas. It fits him perfectly! Lucas is a very happy baby, and smiles constantly. He is definitely the light in our lives.

My son's name is Lucas. Lucas Daniel Cortés. I love him dearly. He is now 11 and enjoys excelling at everything he does. His sister's name is Katherine (5) and goes by Katie. She calls him "Lukie" It is so cute!

Lucas rhymes with mucus. I think about that whenever I hear the name. Surprised it has become so popular.

I really really like the name Lucas, but it has become too popular for me. In my sons pre school class of 18 children there is 2 Lucas, 2 Luca, and 1 Luke. That's far too many for my liking and the name is still racing up the charts!
