What do you think of these names? Lucas is DP's suggestion, Theo is mine. Which do you prefer? If neither any suggestions please? Thanks Smile Smile

Looks like Lucas is the overall favourite. I do like it but just started thinking about Theo recently. Wouldn't be short for Theodore would just be Theo on bc. Luca is also very nice but sounds Italian to me and I am not.

Lucas is great, I have come across a few Theo's at school but no Lucas's. I'm also a believer in giving children full names, not shortened ones because it gives them the option of using a more 'formal' name at work, if they want to.

Both are nice. Make you decision based on how it goes with your middle name and surname.

Lucas is a good portuguese / brazilian name... Theo is also a great name.
