Hi I have Callum, Max and Jaxon. Deciding between Zak and Luca for 4th son. Which do you prefer. I want a strong but trendy name that works well for an adult too. (Please note neither myself or husband are Italian - I just really like the name!) Thanks.

Luca, but I was an ER fan!

Thanks do you think it matters that we are not Italian though?!

I don't like Luca but I do like Luke. Zak is good, too.

LineyReborn · 14/09/2016 19:41

Luca Kovaç from ER was Croatian, I believe.

Toffos · 14/09/2016 19:42

I prefer Lucas to Luca, Zak goes well with the other names.

DestinyTheWhale · 14/09/2016 19:44

Luca, and don't worry about the Italian thing

Waltermittythesequel · 14/09/2016 19:44

I prefer Luke or Lucas to Luca.

Zach is nice.

How about Ben?

Foxtato · 14/09/2016 21:37

I like Zach but think it's too much with Jax in Jaxon,
which is also similar to Max.
Evan, Ross, Brock, Kurt.

AgainPlease · 14/09/2016 21:39

Zac! There are far too many Luca's knocking around these days

Foxtato · 14/09/2016 21:39

Zak!*
I meant to say I would go for Luca over Zak,
it goes well with your other names.

roseteapot101 · 14/09/2016 21:59

i think luca is cute

Oysterbabe · 14/09/2016 22:19

I really like Luca. What about Nico?

Stevefromstevenage · 14/09/2016 22:21

I like both, a lot, sorry no help there.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 14/09/2016 22:24

I prefer Zak to Luca.

When I read your list my immediate thought was Felix.

unicornthong · 14/09/2016 23:42

Luca!

You really can't have Max, Jax, Zak....and er, Callum. Grin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/09/2016 10:32

Zak or Lucas.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 15/09/2016 10:40

You really can't have Max, Jax, Zak....and er, Callum.

This reminds me of DS's old football team. We had: Jack, Jack, Max, Zach and Mac on the team. Grin

Pipilangstrumpf · 15/09/2016 14:11

Out of the two, definately Luca.

Jaxon, Max, Zac, Callum don't sound so great together imo.

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 15/09/2016 14:14

Of the two definitely Zak (or Zachary or maybe Isaac with nn Zak if you like, though I like Zak fine on its own too).

Did you already ask this recently OP, or am I having Baby Names deja vu?

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 15/09/2016 14:15

I also really like pp's suggestion of Nico.

peaceloveandbiscuits · 15/09/2016 14:18

Max, Jax(on) and Zac are too similar sounding so I vote Luca or Luke.

Buttwing · 15/09/2016 14:23

Luca but I have one! My family is Italian but I know quite a few English Luca's.

BettyOBarley · 15/09/2016 14:23

Luca

I also think Zak and Jaxon sound too similar

Thanks so much for all your thoughts. Callum is the eldest with quite a big age gap - nearly 8 years, whereas the other 3 are all under 4 so will be going to school together. In age order it's Callum, Max, Jaxon &. ......still to decide!

Luca.

Thank you Liney for reminding me of the gorgeous Luka Kovac. God he was gorgeous.
