Harry.

I wouldn't use Luca if you're not Italian. I'd go for Luke or William.

cheeseoverchocolate · 06/08/2018 20:51

Harry first, then William. Not keen on Luca

confusedmomm · 06/08/2018 20:36

I prefer Luke to Luca too

confusedmomm · 06/08/2018 20:36

Harry!

daisypond · 06/08/2018 20:23

William. I like Luca but it seems odd to use it if you're not Italian. I do know a couple but both have Italian parents. Luke and Lucian and Lucas are nice names, too. I like Harry, but only as short for Henry.

Luca is just a posh (though not posh AT ALL) way of saying Luke. It will sound terrible in years to come
Harry and William, whilst fairly innocuous, who wants to name themselves after the current royals.

William and Harry are a bit 'safe'.
Luca is only if you are italian. Luke or Lucas better if you are not italian.

userabcname · 06/08/2018 19:42

William definitely. An under-used classic imo!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/08/2018 19:39

William first, then Harry.

Andtheresaw · 06/08/2018 17:11

Prefer Luke to Luca, and oddly less popular at the moment too. (we have a little glut of Lucas/Lucas).
they are all nice. Pick the one you both love most.

Justgivemesomepeace · 06/08/2018 17:10

Luca by a mile. I have a Lucas as dp wasn't sure about Luca.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 06/08/2018 17:07

He’ll just get called Luke

No he won't. Luke is a different name altogether. My friend has a 15 year old Luca and he's never Luke, I know two younger ones too that never get Luke.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 06/08/2018 17:05

I prefer Henry to Harry.

George?

DCam06 · 06/08/2018 16:50

I like Luca best. Really don't like William to be honest. Harry is ok x

I don't mind luke for short thought. A lot of boys are called Luca nowadays without Italian heritage.

I would assume that a Luca was Italian.

TatianaLarina · 06/08/2018 15:40

Unless you have Italian heritage Luca is a bit random.

He’ll just get called Luke.

Notso · 06/08/2018 13:45

William has lots of potential nicknames etc.
Harry is ok.
Hate Luca.

Mousefunky · 06/08/2018 12:45

Luca, the other two are too common.

MariaMadita · 06/08/2018 12:44

William or Harry.

I like Lucian and Lucien but I personally really don't like Luca...

strawberrry · 06/08/2018 12:35

Luca was my name for a boy! I think it's a bit of a change from the many Lucas's about at the moment, and is much nicer sounding than Luke.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/08/2018 12:33

William followed by Luca

I'm not a fan of Harry

Icklepup · 06/08/2018 12:13

Luca

EyeRolls · 06/08/2018 11:42

Harry
