Which do you prefer?

[DDSMUM2]

Mateo or Luca for our baby boy? Name needs to work well in English and Spanish..

Mateo

Prefer the nickname Matt over luke

Both nice. Luca by a smidge.

Luca

Mateo.

I love both, Mateo probably just a smidge more as I know a lot of Lucas

Ooh, absolutely zero help but I love them both!

Luca

Luca

Luca

Mateo

Mateo

There's quite a few Lucas about

Mateo - lovely name.

Mateo

Mateo

Mateo, by a million miles.

It's a nicer name anyway, and there are dozens of baby Luca/ Lucas/ Luciens.

If recognising Spanish heritage is important to you, I'd go with Mateo as Luca has become popular with British parents so less likely to be associated with duel heritage.

Luca but they’re both fine :)

Mateo

Luca

I dislike Mat which I think Mateo would inevitably be shortened to.

Luca by a long way

My nephew is Mateo and we don't know any others. His name isn't shortened to Matt, we do call him Teo but a lot of people do say Mateo. I like both options.

Mateo (though luca also good, could be a middle name?)

Luca

Mateo, since Luca is Italian.

Mateo for sure. I've never liked the name Luca since the Suzanne Vega song.
