Comments and insights on the name Lucas

If you ever read the novel Peyton Place, you would not name your kid Lucas. Lucas Cross, a character in the novel, was a degenerate drunk who raped and impregnated his stepdaughter, Selena. Later in the novel she ended up killing him, which was well-deserved. Whenever I hear the name Lucas I think of that no-good drunk in Peyton Place, and I would never name a kid Lucas.

The name of one of the four evangelists in Spanish. The others are Mateo, Juan and Marcos.

Lucas and Claus are anagrams of each other; they contain the same letters.

Personal experiences with the name Lucas

My name is Lucas, and from personal experience I can tell you that, as a young boy growing up in Southern California back in the 80's, when my parents and everyone I know still were calling me Luke I got teased alot at school with kids calling me things like 'Muck' 'puck' and yes, even 'Fμ©k'! Well... As I got older I came across the discovery of what my Full name on my birth certificate was and from then on I. Went by Lucas! Well... Along with the promotion of my name so was advancement of the name calling turning into things like 'Mucus' and 'Pukeus' (being a derivative of the word 'puke'- I know, creative hu? Lol!) which Actually was quite unfortunate considering that my last name is Leming (Fleming... "Mucus Fleming"... HA, Ha, ha...) And God only knows how many times I've heard "Luke... I am your father!"! (Which actually is a misquotation of Darth Vader from the iconic movie Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Released in 1980.. Coincidentally being the same year as I was born! Lol! Instead the quote being "No, I am your father."! Get it right people! Lol! I digress...) BUT.. As time passed and I grew up, with the help of some information about Why my parents decided to name me the way they did (I won't bother boring you with the details.. Long story! Lol!) I began to really enjoy being named Lucas! Proud even! To start, with the middle name of Dean It's a Solid, Strong name! And again, with the stories behind my parents associative reasons for bequeathing me my name I really wouldn't have it any other way! (LUCAS DEAN LEMING! Oh yeah! Lol!)
