Luke

• I don't really like Lucas, but Luke is a nice nickname. I see Luke as a cool sexy guy with a hot car...
• this is my son's name and I think it is a beautiful, strong masculine name.
• The bible managed to churn out a whole slew of good boys names. this is one of them.
• because it's strong and simple.
• From the Greek meaning "light."  What a fantastic name.  Luke was a Gentile physician and his Gospel is so kind towards women, children and the downtrodden.  I love the idea of my child being a light of hope and grace in the world.
• Somehow a very strong name, yet brings to mind a tender, caring person.
• Biblical and very masculine. Makes you think of "Cool-hand Luke" or Luke Skywalker. Great name
• just cause I like the "k" or hard c sound/pronunciations
• I liked the sound of this classic-yet-unique name even before I finally saw Star Wars last year (which is now my favorite movie) and before my cousin was born in 1995, but now I like it even more with those two connections!
• It sounds so...... cute and likable. I just LOVE it!
• Luke Alexander: Very masculine, yet dramatic and cool. I love this name!!!
• Luke Austin: If I had a boy, that have been his name.

Luke comes from the Greek name Loukas, which means "man from Lucania." Its meaning is often confused with Lucius, which is a Roman name stemming from "lux," Latin for "light." Lucas is another English form of Luke.
