It's one of my least favourites of the super common boy names. My daughter has both a Luke and a Lucas in her very small class, and though they are sweet boys, the names make me cringe... I think it's all the unfortunate associations... mucus, puke, lukewarm, leukaemia, leukocyte (which for me, with my kidney problems = not good). I tend to grow to dislike very common names over time as I am overexposed to them anyway, and this name has the added disadvantages of the negative word associations.

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.
