Not exactly a name for an adult, but they can change it to Lukas or Luke. I haven't heard of anybody else with this name growing up, only online. Would recommend naming a child or character this however.

Great name. Really common though. Luke and Luca are great nicknames, also what’s wrong with it rhyming with mucus? I know a Lucas and he never got teased for his name rhyming with mucus.

Lucas, Lukas, Luke, Luca are all really wonderful names! Lucas is versatile and has a good sound :D
(Also I don’t find it rhymes with mucous, loo rather than myu—not that a rhyme matters that much anyway.)

Overall, I think Lucas is a great name.

My son's name is Lucas. He was named for my grandfather (Luke) and goes by both names. It's strong, classic, and he's never been teased for it or the nickname. He's almost 15 now, so we beat the recent influx of popularity for the name, but I can see why it's climbing the charts. It's a name that will never shift to the girls, as a lot of trendy names do, and it's got a great opportunity to give the child the option to go by Luke in the future if they choose. I would choose the name all over again, 15 years later, and not many people say that about their teenage children's names.

I completely agree with Janessa2542. Hating a name just because it's popular is rude to other users and can be considered part of harassment. I have always liked the name Lucas and never considered it trashy or anything like that. The meaning "light" is wonderful too. This will be one of the names for my future son, or else I could spell it with K as well: Lukas.

Lucas is a name that rose in recent popularity. Therefore, I have some positive and, at the same time, a less favorable view of this one particular name. First and foremost, it must be mentioned that the appeal, in my humble opinion, is that it crosses linguistic barriers (e.g. for Spanish and English). However, the major reservation that I cannot ignore is how over saturated in popularity this name has become. Particularly over here in the South West region of the US where I currently live. Not a bad name by any stretch of the imagination, just too popular right now.

This is my name, so my views may be biased.
I like the name Lucas. As for people saying it's "trashy", childlike, delicate, feminine, or other things like that, I personally don't care if I come across as childlike, delicate, or feminine. As for trashy, people will think whatever, and I'm not very bothered by that. People also say that it sounds like mucus and lupus, and for that, I see why they think so. I even saw someone say that it reminded them of Lucifer, and to be honest, I'm guiltily proud of that.

It's my last name, and my son's first name. No, I'm not egotistical; it was for my father. From my own experience, I already knew he was going to get the Lucas/Mucus/Puke-us jokes, and when I was a 7th grade teacher, my students looked shocked when I would beat them to the punch. His nickname is Luke, which I'd always thought of as a strong name as well.

As it is my name I personally like it, Everybody says it rhymes with mucus, but what is wrong with something it rhymes with? It is a different word altogether. As for it being delicate, delicate is strong in it's own words.

It's an ugly name, and reminds me of the disease lupus. And of course it rhymes with mucus. Two unpleasant things that sound a lot like a name do not make it very appealing. I have no idea why anyone would choose this name over the similar, but much better name Luke. I'm not even really very fond of Luke, but it is still superior to Lucas as a name.

Wow, a 54%? I'm surprised by that rating, seeing as how popular the name is in several countries and it's not even a modern name.

I love this name. I named my son LUCCAS, yes with 2 C's at the time I thought it would be cute to match with my daughter who is Rebecca but now I would have put only one C- not because I don't like it, but because it's always misspelled and I can never find souvenirs with his name spelled right! He is 6 and he doesn't mind- I'm hoping he won't! I just love the name. It makes me think of a courageous, sweet and strong man and that's exactly what he is! So sweet, kind and very strong!

Having this name myself, I quiet like it personally, reading some of the comments saying that's it's too delicate for a boy or "trashy" (though where I'm from we don't use that term so I guess it means chavy), I don't feel that it is so. A lot of people like my name, and I use my full name rather than Luke, as it's less common. I don't see the issue of having a boys name as "delicate" though I don't see how it is. (but that's just my opinion )

According to a few sources, the name Lucas was definitely in reference to the Lucani and Lucania, which was Greek in origin. The name either came from a Greek word that meant "wolf," which was a totemic animal used by tribes, or the name came from the Latin word lucus, which meant something along the lines of "sacred wood." The name later became associated with names such as Lucian, which means "light."

Most likely origin of the name is out of the bible, of course, after Saint Lucas. However the name Lucas didn't come around until the Christian Era and was most likely a derivative from the name Lucanus, which was common in earlier inscriptions.
