Wow. I can't believe I've never met someone with this name. It just takes your breath away.

Allegedly "Lucasta" also means "chaste light", taken from the Latin words "lux" ("light") and "castus/casta" ("chaste").

I might be mistaken, but this name was Lovelace's pet name for his fiancee, Lucy Sacheverell. He used the name in his poem "To Lucasta, Going To The Wars", written during the Great Civil War in England (1641-1649). When a rumor had leaked that Lovelace was killed, Lucy married another; Lovelace had actually been imprisoned and, hoping to still woo his lady, he wrote poems to her, including "To Lucasta, Going To The Wars".

This name reminds of Jocasta. That is definitely not a good thing.

I have not seen this before. I love Jocasta but can't use that (obviously) and this has the sound I like.

My daughter's name. Soft, romantic and dazzling.

At a website I frequent, someone has a daughter named Lucasta Elspeth Primrose. I think that is divine. There is another person who has a daughter named Lucasta Mehetabel Ruth. I think that is perfect too. This name is beautiful, I love the nickname Lucy.

Beautiful name.

Chaste Light would make the most sense for the meaning. The name is a contraction of Lux Casta, which was what Lovelace referred to his fiancee as.

While I love the nickname potential for this name (Lucy is so wonderful), I think the name sounds and looks ugly. It is very harsh.

Witchy and pretentious.

Yes, invented by Richard Lovelace for Lucy Sacheverell. I agree with the poster who called it "witchy and pretentious"! It also reminds me of caster sugar!

Lucy is so simple and sweet and has a long history of its own. I don't even think it works as a nickname for Lucasta because there is no "Loos" sound in Lucasta. Surely "Lukey" would be a more appropriate (although ugly) nickname.

I disagree, I think Lucy is extremely intuitive for a nickname but, Lucy is the vastly superior name here. A hundred times over.

I don't understand how so many people find Lucy childish and immature and yet pretentious at the same time ? Lucasta, while not childish, sounds a lot more wooden and affected. Harsh pasta?

This name is pretty bad. One step away from Loucast. Very insect-like, please, please, PLEASE don't name your daughter this.

I'd feel sorry for any girl bearing this name. It is so harsh and spitty. Keep it for stories please!

Beautiful name. I like it. :)

-- silly_rabbit  12/25/2008

I think it sounds like pure evil. Better for a villainess in a story or an author pseudonym.
