Makes me think of the Pokemon Lucario.

I don't instinctively pronounce them the same way. Lucaria (I'd pronounce loo-KAH-ree-ah) looks like a place name to me, even if it's not. I kind of like it.Lukerya (I'd pronounce LOO-ker-YAH) has a vague medical vibe; leukemia was what came to mind when I tried to think of a more specific association.

I don't like it, sorry. As the others have said, it sounds like a disease.

yeah...It does sound a bit like one of those pretty new medications. For example, damn them for Stellara - I thought I'd invented a good name there for a couple of years LOL :) Other than that, I actually really like the sound of it. It's somewhat old-fashioned yet modern. Like Lucasta. I prefer the Lucaria spelling. Lukerya 1) changes the pronunciation for me, and 2) looks much more made up/mashed up which I don't really like, personally. That said, either would be awesome for a sci-fi or fantasy novel!

Stelara is a name already actually. I loved it before the sleep aid became a thing.

to be honest ...It sounds like a disease, or maybe a fungus.
