Lewis & Luca - too Similar?

[mrsmac]

I think so because they could both be called Lou as a nickname.

DS2 is also a Lewis, and he gets Lewie and Lew all the time. Like Mrs Mac said I think given Luca could be shortened to Lou it might get a bit confusing.

I guess it depends on how much you really love the name.

I too think it's too similar, just my opinion though

i think they sound awesome together but i do agree they may get the same nickname but Luca might get called Luke by his mates when hes older

[MrsFabuloso]

I would think that Luca would be shortened to Luke too...Lou and Luke...cute!!

My two get shortened to Lil and Li. I think of it in terms of the future. When my kids are grown up and thier own people (not that they're not now....but I mean moved out of home, etc) I don't think they're going to be worried about the fact that their names are similar sounding. I did think about them sounding similar and getting them confused, but I don't. I get their cousins names mixed up with theirs more than I confuse their names, and their cousins are Ashley and Justin! I love their names and that's all I'm worried about now!

I think they are too similar as others have allready said the nicknames could be the same.

I come from a family of three girl's and all our names start with " L " but our names are very different to each other ... even the nicknames couldn't be the same

... I don't think nicknames are so much an issue but i'm sorry to say yes the two names do sound similar to a certain degree (i have to say i love Luca).

Are you in favour of a " L " name for a boy ??? ... Only reason i ask is cause i'm crazy about " K " boy names, lol

I do not think so! I have Rylee and Brydie!
