We are expecting a baby boy in June, and need some name advice! Top contenders are Dominic and Lucca. I am Italian and we are both Catholic, so ideally looking for a masculine saintly name with some European flare. I absolutely love the name Roman, but my husband doesn’t like it. I’m afraid Lucca (even with different spelling) is too popular, but love it. Dominic sounds great with our last name as it starts with a D as well, but need middle names for both. I am open to any suggestions for similar first name options, as well as thoughts for middle names for the options above!! Thank you so much everyone! 
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_f]Lucca[/name_f] would be a very handsome name!
[name_f]Lucca[/name_f] [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] would work too, but as you said [name_f]Lucca[/name_f] (or Luca) is having a moment of popularity, while [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is more timeless.
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m] + [name_m]Roman[/name_m] makes me think of [name_m]Damian[/name_m], so I’ll suggest that; there’s also [name_m]Adrian[/name_m].
[name_f]Lucca[/name_f] makes me want to suggest [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Leon[/name_m], or [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].

I really like Dominic Lucca/Luca - potentially with the nickname Nico. 
Otherwise (and I’m mixing Italian and English-speaking Catholic names so please adapt as needed):
Luca Sebastian (from an Anglo POV, I think double C makes it more a “Lucka” or “Lucia” sound instead of “Loo-ka” - ignore if irrelevant)
Luca Giovanni
Dominic Lorenzo (makes “Nico” make even meme sense)
Dominic Vincent (I also like “Dio”/“Deo” as a nn)
Dominic Gaspare
Rocco Benedict
Alessio Battista
Francis Matteo
Bosco Gianni
Elias Luca
Enzo Arturo
Ignatius “Iggy” Luca
Lucian Dominic
Massimo Patrick
Rafael Patrick
Cosimo Salvatore
Hope this helps!

I love the way you put that, [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is more timeless. That was so well said! I love [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] too, but being Italian already have a cousin names [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]! Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE [name_m]Rocco[/name_m] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], my husband does not 
he’s so picky. Thank you!
I think you’ve had some great suggestions already but I’d be tempted to go with [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_f]Lucca[/name_f] (or Luca). I think it has a nice ring to it with the ‘c’ at the end of [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] and in the middle of [name_f]Lucca[/name_f] and I had the same dilemma when I was naming my son as I had always loved the name [name_m]Luca[/name_m]. I decided to opt for a timeless first and use [name_m]Luca[/name_m] as a middle and I’m really happy with my choice as I feel like it’s the best of both worlds if that helps

[name_f]Lucca[/name_f] is great, it’s popular but not out of control. I think the donkey ruined [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] for me. [name_f]Lucca[/name_f] [name_m]Donovan[/name_m] would be handsome.
I love [name_m]Dominic[/name_m]!
