Opinions on name?

[ilovepuppys]

Hey everyone!

Please can I have your opinions on the name Luca?

Partner absolutely loves it! I do like it also, but I between the name Lucas too!

I love it so much that I used it.

Love Luca

If you don't have any Italian heritage I'd go for Lucas.

Lucas is the Spanish version so fits better with your Spanish heritage.

I prefer Lucas to Luca. Lucas is great name imo

Whenever I hear a kid called Luca I just think of that Suzanne Vega song Luka - it's about child abuse and not an association I would be comfortable naming a child with. I really like Lucas though.

I agree it's a bit random without an Italian link. It seems to have suddenly got popular in the UK in the last few years so I also think of it as a bit faddy. Lucas is nice, though I like Luke even better.

It's nice but I'm another person that just thinks of the song so it has rather sad connotations and I automatically think its a girl. If you love it go for it though.

I like it. But people will ask him his whole if he has Italian blood.

Luka is a very old song. My kids wouldn’t know who Suzanne Vega was.

Find using a foreign name a bit random if no family link.

Loads of names that were traditionally another language get used all the time - Elodie, Amelie etc. It’s not that out there, I wouldn’t ask, just assumed you liked it. Like both Luca and Lucas though so I’m no help!

I do like it but I think it's odd without Italian heritage. I like Luke and Lucas as well. Lucius?

The song ‘Luka’ is about a boy anyway. I also think it’s a bit odd if you’re not Italian, I suppose because it is very much the Italian version of a common English name. I do like it though.

Sum - interesting I had always thought it was about a boy - really great song.
