Baby Names

I think we have a name! (Critique, please!)

Lucas Elliot Tomson (LN is spelled a little differently IRL)

Thoughts? I'm mostly looking for anything problematic we're overlooking - associations with this particular combo, etc. 

I know it's pretty popular, and I was originally against anything too common, but we were having a really hard time settling on anything, so I opened up my list a bit, and this is what we've come to. I think I'm ok with the popularity at this point; I'd hate to not use a name we love just because other people also like it, and I don't feel like this one is trendy. (Our other final contender was Felix, but after trying it out for a while, it just doesn't feel like *ours* somehow - and then I saw a plush fox my mom bought him and thought, "we should call the fox Felix!" So I'm pretty sure that's done for me now, lol.)

Getting way ahead of myself here, but what do you think about Lucas & Felix as a sibset? I'm not sure they quite go together. Or how about Lucas & Nora, or Adeline (my favorites if this LO had been a girl)?

  • I think it sounds very nice! If you love it, I would use it. I always tend to talk myself out of names I love because of this or that. Then I just have to remind myself that it's hard enough to come by a name I love. 

    I like Lucas and Nora--

  • I really like Lucas and love Luke. Lucas and Nora make a great sibset and I think Adeline works well, too. I don't like Lucas and Felix together; they seem rather mismatched to me. I would leave Felix to the fox :) With Lucas I like: Ethan, Seth, Julian,

  • LOVE Lucas Elliot!

    We were in a similar dilemma naming DD.  I didn't want anything too popular, but we couldn't quite find one that felt right.  We had already tossed Ella due to popularity, but it kept popping up.  We went with
