Luca

Girl Names
1

I’m loving [name_u]Luca[/name_u] for a girl but I need a feminine yet spunky, unexpected middle.

At the moment we like [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u].

Big brother will be [name_m]Otis[/name_m].

Thank you!

My first thought was [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].

Also:

[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Georgette[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Delphi[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Leontine[/name_f]

I think [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] works, if unisex with [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. [name_u]Grey[/name_u] and [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] make [name_u]Luca[/name_u] just too cutesy for my taste. So I would definitely choose [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] or ones suggested by @dechen, or else maybe: [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Francine[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Verity[/name_f].

(If you love it you should of course go for it, and apologies if unwelcome, but my sense is that [name_u]Luca[/name_u] will date quickly with [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] etc. I think the girls’ names in your signature or others have more staying power and would be better matched to the suaveness of [name_m]Otis[/name_m]).

Thanks so much for your feedback. I was thinking that [name_u]Luca[/name_u] might get lost with all the popular ‘L’ names at the moment. It’s a very valid point and as a teacher I certainly see my fair share! I guess I’ll keep it on the list and just see how I feel. I do worry about dated names! 8 weeks to go.

I love the suggestions of [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f].

Any more ideas?
