Lucas vs Lukas

Starfly13

We are trying to decide on names and we actually agree on this one, but not sure which spelling we want. Please help.

If you're Scandinavian or German, I think it's fine to go with the 'k' spelling. If not, stick with Lucas.

Is there any reason why you don't want the traditional spelling of Lucas? I have never seen it as Lukas so I was just curious why Lucas wouldn't be fine.

We didn't start to consider Lukas until people starting asking if we were gonna use a "c" or a "k". So that's why I was wondering what yal thought.

I hate the "k" - Go with the traditional spelling :-)

It's a matter of heritage. There is nothing "wrong" with the "k" spelling. K is the Scandanavian and Lithuanian way. C is the Latinized way (English, Dutch, all Romance languages).

Lucas looks more "normal" to me. 

ETA: So I like Lucas better than Lukas.

Initially, we debated c or k as well. We decided to go with Lucas so it won't be misspelled his whole life.

I'm a Swede and I say Lucas Lukas will be misspelled constantly. My great-grandpa (who is from Sweden) was named Erik, but changed it to Eric when he came to the US.
