Lucah vs. Lucus

blondiii428

DH really likes the name Lucus but I started reading that a lot of people hear "Mucus." Then I found the name Lucah but am worried about people having a hard time spelling it. Thoughts?

Spell it Luca and you have a winner.  NO ONE will spell it Lucah

blondiii428

I've thought about that but Luca seems somewhat feminine ending with an A.....

It's 100% masculine and the correct way to spell it

Seriously people will side eye Lucah it is a made up spelling.

ashleyandely

Lucas? I'm confused here.

bbiutmcph

Also Lucas not Lucus or again NO one will spell it right

Lucas

I like Luca and Lucas.

I think I prefer Luca.

I love Luca.  It's not feminine whatsoever and is a great name! No need to add the H.  No one would ever spell it right that way.

libby+nate

Lucas spelled like this

MyCousinVinny

Luca or Lucas.

The other options are misspelled.

CaboBride2015

Definitely Luca or Lucas. I like Lucas better and I never thought mucus. And 9/10 if there's a bad connotation I will think it because I'm like a 7th grade boy when it comes to that crap lol.

Both names in your poll are spelled incorrectly, so I didn't vote.
I love the name Luca and it is a popular masculine Italian name. Lucas isn't bad either but people whatever you do, spell them the correct way for your kid's sake.
These are common names and people will know that Luca is a boys name even if it ends in an A. Adding a silent letter doesn't make it more manly but it WILL be inconvenient for your son.

This.

ClaireBear90

I prefer Lucas to Luca. Also, Lucus looks too much like mucus or lupus so I'd definitely stick with the proper spelling if you use it!

blondiii428

Wow major preggo brain moment, I meant to spell "Lucas" and put "Lucus" because I had mucus on the brain...

MamaWren919

Definitely Lucas or Luca. I like Luca slightly better, but both are great. My nephew is Lucas (Luke), and I have never once heard/thought mucus. Kind of a stretch.

Luca

Elsa1984

I also didnt vote because they are both misspelled.

Lucas/Luca

I like Luca better.

goobersgirl9

Lucas

provwife

I like Luke by itself.

But either way, it is Luca and Lucas. No reason to make up a different spelling.

This alone makes me vote Luca.

nlwz123

Lucas as long as it's spelled correctly.

SmrBrd2012

I never really cared for Luca on a boy even though I know it's masculine. Probably because an old video game I used to play a ton had a female character named Lucca. I much prefer Lucas anyway. I don't think Mucus would ever be an issue...He could always go by Luke.

satuttle1014

I would vote for Lucas if you spell it that way. I have never seen Lucus 

MrsN092714

Lucas would be my pick. Luca is still good. Lucus and Lucah.... Nope!

helleebellee

Luca. 

I really dislike the name Lucas, but love Luca. I'm not entirely sure why the s changes it for me, but it does.  

eliztheforrizz

Luke.

I'm glad to see you realized that Lucas was spelt wrong in your original post.  I didn't answer your poll because it's misspelled but Lucas gets my vote.

Lucas

g8trkim

I like Luca best. Lucas is great but a bit common. Never seen Lucah.

Edit to add I just realized your Lucus spelling. Whatever you choose, please pick a correctly spelled name.

4N6s

lucas. Couldn't vote on either misspelling.

Smax0822

As other people have said its Luca and Lucas. I prefer Luca. But both are great names when spelled correctly.

calfherder

I like Lucas but would choose Luca only because I know Lucas will likely be a very popular name this year (along with Leia). It happens every 15 years or so.
