Re: Luke
in reply to a message by Adelle
I love Luke! I don't feel it's nicknamey at all. I agree with Pink Princess, who said it sounds more mature than Lucas. I think it's a fantastically sexy name. I don't hear 'puke,' it doesn't remind me of lukewarm anything, and the Star Wars connection is no stronger than the Biblical one, imo.
I do think it's a bit easier to pair it with a longer mn than a shorter one; and you can't really pair it with a mn that starts with K or hard C (or L, for that matter). I like it with surnamey mn's, myself. I have a few ideas; my personal faves have *:
Luke Aleksei *
Luke Alton
Luke Andrew
Luke Austin *
Luke Bartholomew
Luke Benedict *
Luke Broderick
Luke Chandler
Luke Dalton *
Luke Daniel
Luke Elias
Luke Emerson
Luke Fletcher
Luke Flynn *
Luke Holden
Luke Julian
Luke Lincoln
Luke Malcolm
Luke Marshall *
Luke Nicholas
Luke Nikolai *
Luke Phelan
Luke Reynold
Luke Roland
Luke Rudolph *
Luke Ryker *
Luke Sawyer *
Luke Solomon
Luke Stuart
Luke Talmadge
Luke Ulysses
Luke Wallace
Luke Whittaker *
Hope you see something you like. :-)
