I think it's nice and I'm half Italian and I don't think you need to be Italian to use it.

I really like it but it is really popular.

It’s too popular for anyone to care about heritage.

My name is Luca….🎤

If it’s part of your heritage I’d say objectively it’s a nice name. If it isn’t then it’s a bit pretentious / reminds me of the song.

What's the song?

I think it is a lovely name, as long as you or child is Italian.

I was just going to say the origin is Italian...

I think it’s really popular now isn’t it, top 10. I like it though.

For a boy or girl?

I love it. It's certainly popular enough that you don't need Italian heritage to use it - like many, many other names that are popular in the UK and are originally from elsewhere.

Luca lives on the second floor, I think Luca is having a hard time up there 😢

I like it, nicer than Luke or Lucas

HollyGolightly4 · 12/04/2026 19:48

It's a lovely name and I know lots of Luca's who are not of Italian heritage.

I don't really see why it needs to be if you are of Italian heritage - names such as Louis, Sofia, Isabella and Leila are all common in the UK and have roots elsewhere!
