can't decide between cassian and luca. i have 2 ds (finnegan and jago) and a dd (sola). and have quite a long double barreled name, so it needs to fit with those.

I love Luca and would have it on my list but dp says no Sad

Although if you specifically want unusual names I have a feeling its becoming more common. I don't know any but was looking through the list of boy's names for 2009 (looking for inspiration!) and remember thinking it was higher than I'd expected but don't remember where. I still think its lovely though.

Not so keen on Cassian.

Cassian seems to go better as luca is not as unusual

I really like Cassian. I like Luca, but it seems very on trend at the moment.

What fabulous names your DC's have! I'd go for Cassian, Luca is very similar sounding to Sola.

Some more unusual names for you:

Atticus
Balthazar
Caspar
Charro
Indiana
Joaquin
Kasbah
River
Thaddeus
Willow

I love your children's names! I like Luca, out of the two. I actually love Luca.

Indigo?

Luca is not unusual I don't think. I love Thaddeus.

I love Cassian. Don't think Luca is that unusual these days.

I honestly think Luke is more unusual than Luca these days. I know two of the latter and none of the former.

Cannot even understand Cassian.

I do like the two boys names you already chose though. Smile

Luca is very common these days and doesn't go as well as Cassian with your other names.

Luca is such a gorgeous name, but seems to have been taken over by, hmmm how can I put it, chavs.

So even though the 2 names are lovely, cassian sounds better.
Love your other dc names btw.

I loved the name Casabian when I was having 3rd child,but assumed people would think I liked the band Kasabian [which I do but not that much!!]

Cassian goes better with your other names I think.
