Lucasta is lovely in a dramatic sort of way. I wouldn't mind seeing the name more often. As far as combos go, I think that Lucasta Jane sounds the best. The ending of Lucasta and the beginning of Catherine sound a bit too similar for my liking. Lucasta April works, but Lucasta Jane has a better flow.

I love the name Lucasta nn Lucy. Was your inspiration from Sir Lovelace himself? Out of your combos, Lucasta Jane is the only one that really works for me ;)

It sounds pretty, nothing I would use though. Only Lucasta Jane works, and I find it a bit boring. Lucasta Catherine has repeating sounds that sound bad, and April is too modern and ugly to be paired with a classic like this.

I like it a lot! I love the sound of it - sort of snappy and intelligent. I like Lucasta Jane the best of the three, although Lucasta Catherine is a close second. Lucasta April just doesn't fit well together in my mind.

Of your three options, only Lucasta Jane seems to work. There's too much 'ca' in Lucasta Catherine, and Lucasta April is such a startling mix of 17th and 20th centuries that it quite blows my diodes.

Lucasta does look and sound pretty. My only regret is that it couldn't shorten to Lucy, which is one of my all-time favourites.
