I don't think Luke is short for Lucas in most cases. -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 08:21 1
- just because some people don't know the origin of their kid's name doesn't mean it's not a short form -- nm - zork Feb 2, 08:49
If there's a Gospel named for Luke, it's not a nickname for Lucas. How is Charles two syllables when Wales is apparently one? -- nm - Roger More Feb 2, 08:21 3
- half of those Disciple name are short for Simon, apparently -- nm - zork Feb 2, 08:29 1
  - plus how many of those are Anglicized and completely different in the original languages? -- nm - zork Feb 2, 08:35
- Oh no. Not Wales again. -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 08:23
Luke/Lucas? Then John should be out, for sure. -- nm - Ultron Feb 2, 08:20
