[name]Luca[/name] is nice, but I personally prefer other [name]Luc[/name]- names, especially [name]Lucian[/name]. I like the idea of [name]Luca[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] or [name]Luca[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]…
I think it’s ok, it’s a little unusual for the states but since [name]Hillary[/name] [name]Duff[/name] named her son [name]Luca[/name] people are likely to be more familiar with it which helps.
I don’t think there is anything feminine about the name [name]Luca[/name], a lovely masculine European name. It’s relatively popular in the UK, meaning top 100 material so its widely recognised as a boys name here.
I adore [name]Luca[/name], I actually made a post about it not so long ago!
[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Jack[/name]
I’m loving it for a girl, but I like [name]Lucas[/name] for a boy.
[name]Luca[/name] is very exotic for a boy, unless the boy is actually European.
Some names that I think sound nice with [name]Luca[/name]:
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Diego[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Romeo[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Elias[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Julian[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Damian[/name] or [name]Damon[/name]
[name]Luca[/name] [name]Christian[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Christos[/name] or [name]Carsten[/name]
I’ve always loved [name]Luca[/name] and it’s on my short list, but I am worried about it sky rocketing in popularity now that it’s a “celebrity” baby name. That’s the only thing that would deter me from using it. I wouldn’t worry about femininity, it sounds masculine on a boy to me. If I met a female named [name]Luca[/name] though, I would love it just as much. But I’m not so… “intense” (for lack of a better word) on the whole boy’s names/girl’s names issue.
I have a 9 month old son named [name]Luca[/name] [name]Roman[/name]. I obviously love the name! I agree with others who see it as a strong, masculine name (just because it ends in an ‘a’ does not make it feminine).
