Welcome to Hazard
Since my dogs name is Duke, will it be weird if I name my kid Luke? Should I change Sascha's name to Daisy, and trade my car in for the General Lee?
I think we pretty much have our name choice narrowed down to Lucas or Jacob, and Lucas seems to be gaining an edge.
Re: Welcome to Hazard
I like Luca too. He was a hot doctor on ER.
Does she live on the second floor?

That song immediately popped into my head when she said she liked Luca.
I really like Lucas too.
I also love Luca, but I am a filthy goombah, so that is to be expected.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Let's not let an awful song ruin a fine name.
I like both names, but Lucas does make me think of this
Jacob is very popular, and my H hates the twilight association, which is why it's currently losing to Lucas. But it's my H's name, and I love it. We would most likely call him Jack. Actually, I would just name him Jack, but my H has this weird thing about naming kids nicknames.
Mashed, I don't know what that picture is. Do I need to google?

whaa? You've never seen Lucas? Go watch it.
I am strongly against naming a kid after a parent as well as naming them something and then calling them something else. Plus, Jacob has been ruined by Twilight for at least another 5 years.
I love the name Lucas. It's been on my list of potential names for a while.

I don't like naming kids after parents either.
But I also think Luke and Duke is a little odd.
Sorry to hear you have to start over with this.

I think it doesn't bother me if it is a common nick name. Like naming your kid Jason and calling him Jay is fine, but naming him Jason and calling him Frank is not.

There's that, but naming a kid John and calling him Jack doesn't bother me, maybe because it seems to be common on the Irish side of my family. I don't have a problem with just naming a kid Jack either.
I also dislike naming kids after the parents.
Excuse my while I go cross Cali off my list of potential middle names.
I am (in theory) against naming a kid one thing, and calling them something else. I prefer names with no nickname options for just this reason. BUT, my h thinks every foffing name is really just a nickname for some other more elaborate name, and insists that we only use the full version. So, I've kind of given up that fight.

If you name your kid Jason and end up calling him Jay, I think that's no big deal. But if you want a kid named Jay so you name him Jason, that's where I take issue.
Boxer, I forgot that your H is a crazy person. I will reign in my expectations a bit. But either way, I still vote for Lucas. Or Desmond.

I keep feeling like this conversation is about my brother. It's all trippy, like "How did you know I call him Jay?"
Clearly, everything is about me.
At this point, I'm just happy that he hasn't shouted "Lucas isn't a name! It's short for Lucastopher!!!"

I don't know. I think some names look better on a resume and gives the kid a better option for professional settings. Like, Christie is a cute name for a kid, but I'd rather my adult child have the option to use Christine.
I swear I left her safe and sound

This is pretty much our line of thinking. Andrew is more professional than Andy, but I find it very weird when people call him Andrew now. Plus, my H wanted him to have the option of Andrew, Andy, or Drew when he gets older. My husband is not a fan of his own name. It sounds like a girls name, is spelled like a made up name, and has no other option for nickname. He's bitter.
I like Lucas and Jacob. However, now that Mashed mentioned it, all I can think of is Lucaplacia.
