So, partner wants to honor his brother - unfortunately his first name doesn’t translate well into a girls name, so we’d use his middlename which is [name]Luke[/name].
But can you help me come up with some ideas?
I’d love some names either starting or ending in [name]Luka[/name]/[name]Luca[/name]/[name]Lucca[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Lucilla[/name], [name]Lucina[/name], [name]Lucetta[/name], [name]Luciana[/name], Lucilia, [name]Luzia[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Lux[/name], [name]Luz[/name], [name]Lucasta[/name].
All are feminine forms of [name]Lucius[/name], which is where [name]Luke[/name] comes from (or mean “light” like [name]Lucius[/name]).
[name]Lux[/name] is the only one of those my partner likes … hmm… Its nice, but I’d only use it as a second middlename
Here are a few more female variations of [name]Lucius[/name]:
[name]Luca[/name]
Lucana
Lucania
[name]Luce[/name]
Lucelly
Lucendie
[name]Lucero[/name]
[name]Lucette[/name]
[name]Lucienne[/name]
[name]Lucila[/name]
[name]Lucilla[/name]
[name]Lucine[/name]
Lucrece
[name]Lucrecia[/name]
[name]Lucretia[/name]
[name]Lucrezia[/name]
The only name I could find ending in the -luca phoneme is:
Raluca
What about names that mean the same? [name]Luke[/name] is from the root -lux, or light…
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Kiran[/name] or [name]Kira[/name]
[name]Nera[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Tanwen[/name]
[name]Alina[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Lumina[/name]
[name]Leora[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name]
[name]Zohara[/name]
