I love it.

Really can't think of anything bad to say about it. It's cool, not pretentious, easy to spell and pronounce, not boring. Is a good name for a grown up or a baby.

Love it. Would definitely be pushing for a Luca if I was to a) ever have another child (no plans there) and b) it was a boy....

go for it!

It's on my list as well, I don't think it's weird at all. It was #72 in the top 100 in 2007. Probably higher this year. I'm worried it'll get too popular!

I like it but it's slightly spoilt for me by a young Luca in a local toddler group who has the most ridiculous haircut!

I love it too. My brother has a friend called Luca and he is a lovely fellow.

It would have been on our list but felt it would suit more Meditteranean types as it's Italian-sounding. We're a very Anglo-Saxon looking lot, extremely pale, well suited to Gaelic names.

If you're not freaked out by the top 100 like me lol, Luca seems perfect for a name which is not too unusual but not a Jack type of name.

I adore it and have used it , but I'm worried now whether it is becoming a bit popular. C'est la vie.

Ours was named with Suzanne Vega reference.

I love it. My next door neighbour's little boy is called Luca - they are an Italian family but it's a name that I think translates to the UK really well

I love it. Wanted it. DH nixed it.

I had a lovely friend at Uni called Luca. Go for it.
