My husband is set on Luca for a boy however it's just not grabbing me. Perhaps it'll grow on me.
Are there any names you could suggest as an alternative?
I like
Elis if that helps.

Really surprised. Know 2 luca’s neither has any Italian roots

I think it’s weird if you don’t have Italian roots. Ellis is nice. Or Luke, Lucien, Lucas etc

Luca is top 5 in Italy and has been for some years. It's the Italian equivalent of Jack in that every class has got about 3.
Do you have Italian or Balkan heritage? If not, then I think it sounds wrong.

I'm not keen on Luca, it sounds so feminine.

Ellis is a great name.

I like both! Sorry I’m no help!
