[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries!
What are your thoughts in general on the name [name_u]Luca[/name_u]? And what about using it if we are not Italian at all? Husband is from South [name_u]America[/name_u] and I am American with Scandinavian roots. I know every name has a background and I am not opposed to a name that has a different background than us, but I don’t know if this name is just so strictly Italian that it is weird to use? Thank you!
According to Behind the Name, [name_u]Luca[/name_u] isn’t exclusively Italian - it’s also the Romanian form of [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and the Hungarian and Croatian form of [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], so I don’t view it as being a culture-specific name.
There’s also the spelling [name_m]Luka[/name_m], which is used in several Slavic countries.
Agreed! Also, [name_u]Luca[/name_u]'s getting popular in enough cultures that I don’t think it feels exclusively Italian anymore. Not like… [name_m]Giuseppe[/name_m] or [name_m]Benedetto[/name_m] or something. I think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] would be fine. 
Above poster summed it up pretty nicely. I’ve seen a lot of blonde totally non-Italian boys called [name_u]Luca[/name_u] who wear it so well!
I think your son would wear [name_u]Luca[/name_u] well, especially if his dad is South American.
Thank you for your opinions! It really helps a lot!
I’m sure I’ve met non Italian [name_u]Luca[/name_u]'s - IDK, I don’t think I would find it strange. [name_u]Love[/name_u] your naming style. [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] go well together. 
I’ve met a few [name_u]Luca[/name_u]'s and I don’t think any of them had Italian descent so I think it’s absolutely fine.
I think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] is handsome regardless, I’d say go for it
It’s a nice name
I love [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and I plan on using it someday, and I am as British as they come.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] doesn’t scream Italian to me, unlike some other names (like [name_m]Giuseppe[/name_m], which was mentioned above).
