Lukas vs. Lucas

[B&LsMom]

Ladies---What do you think about Lukas rather than the more popular Lucas??

 

[Sapphire83]

Hmm, I'd go for Lucas.

I prefer Lucas too, the 'k' just seems to look too harsh?!

Agree

Maybe I'm just bias, but I prefer Lucas......it's my son's middle name xx
In the UK spelling it with a K is more the eastern European way of spelling it, but at the end of the day, it's up to you. xx

As someone who has an unusual name, just keep in mind that if you go with the unusual spelling, your never going to be able to find anything with that name on it. I got so mad when I was little because I could never have that license plate for my bike with my name on it, and people are constantly misspelling my name (teachers, employers, friends, even family). Just my opinion, but spelling it Lukas might be more hassel than it's worth. Great name though. I love Lucas.

I prefer Lucas I think the K looks weird.

To be fair I've yet to find anything with Lucas on! It's a really popular name where I am too

I personally prefer Lucas, but I have had people remark they prefer the spelling Lukas or the Polish Lukasz (which is v. nice but I think is pronounced slightly differently).

I like Lucas better too, if you spell it differently your son will have his name constantly spelled wrong or will have to always so "Lucas with a K". My mom is "Christine with a K" and I actually like it better with a K but she hates that she always has to say that.

I like the spelling with a K better.

 

[B&LsMom]

Thanks Saphira!! I seem to be out numbered with this LOL

At first glance, "Lukas" appears to be a "creative" spelling of Lucas which gives me an immediate aversion to it and leads me to think that Lucas is better. However, I did a google search and it appears that this is not the case as Lukas is the standard spelling in some other languages. Based on this I feel that "Lukas" is OK. Based on the meaning however (from Lucania), I would be inclined to go with the spelling L-u-c-a-s.

I truly like it with a K. Then again, K looks better when making harder sounds. C looks soft to me. Plus, it's different but not so different that people would come to the conclusion that the name's pronounced another way, for example. If Lukas looks better to you and your heart's set on that spelling I'd definitely go for it!

i love Lukas!

 

[B&LsMom]

I just think the K stands out a bit where the c looks so little in the middle

I LOVE the name Lucas, (I prefer the C but both are nice) but OH won't let me use it He makes lightsaber noises :S
