We keep coming back to [name_u]Luca[/name_u] for a girl. I know people have strong opinions about this being a boys name and I love it on a boy too but for some reason it really resonates with us for a girl.
The only problem is she will need a feminine middle to go with [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and that’s just not my style! I love something spunky and strong.
At the moment I love [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] Wilde, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Frankie[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] ([name_f]Willow[/name_f] is still on our list but is possibly too popular now)
I think it would be annoying for a girl to constantly be mistaken as a boy. That being said, a lot of the middle names you and your husband like are male names as well, which may cause your daughter a lot of grief. Would you consider [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] instead? [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] would sound lovely!
Other names that remind me of [name_u]Luca[/name_u]:
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Anouk[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
Coming from a girl who’s name was male when I was born (now considered unisex though) it’s not that big a deal. Yes it’s annoying in some instances, but you correct people and move on. Makes for some funny stories, like when my old roommate’s mom thought she moved in with her boyfriend There will be comments etc. just so you’re aware.
So I’m pretty fluid with boys names on girls and vice versa, though some I couldn’t do (like a -son name). I mean, you could do much worse than [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and it’s your style so let’s work with it.
Thanks aliciamae- I wish I loved [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] but it’s just too girlie for me.
Ziggy2112- that’s a great story! I agree that [name_u]Luca[/name_u] may be too male dominated to be the best choice. My partner doesn’t like [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] and is worried that she may get that so it might be the breaker for us!
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is my favorite!
You could always go with [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] if you really want to make it ‘girlier’ sounding?
Also, I prefer [name_u]Luca[/name_u] to be spelled [name_m]Luka[/name_m] for a girl, but either way its a great name~
