Me and my other half are really struggling to find a name for baby. We have just over 9 weeks left and with my previous 2 (with my ex), we had decided on names within the first trimester and the names just clicked for us.

With my new partner we have clashed on name suggestions. There are a few he likes and I don't hate them.... but I also don't love them. However I don't actually love ANY names so I'm thinking it will have to be between these 3 now.... let's have a little vote and see which everyone prefers:

Oscar
Ollie
Luca

Middle name will be Leonardo (my partner is half Italian) after his Late father. Other name suggestions also welcome!

Luca Leonardo sounds cool!

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/11/2022 22:12

Luca

DuchessDandelion · 14/11/2022 22:14

Luca Leonardo sounds great!

Ollie Leonardo also works :)

2pinkginsplease · 14/11/2022 22:14

Oscar

Ollie and luca with Leonardo has too many L's

KylieCharlene · 14/11/2022 22:15

Oscar Leonardo.

Luca Leonardo would be my 2nd choice.

Ollie Leonardo doesn't flow.

Offleyhoo · 14/11/2022 22:18

I like Luca too. I know little half Italian boys called Eduardo & Carlo (which I didn't realise until recently = Charlie) which are nice.

luciaann · 14/11/2022 22:21

Lorenzo? I prefer Luca out of the 3 you've listed

GlassDeli · 15/11/2022 16:44

Luca

RuthW · 15/11/2022 16:59

Oscar

Gummibär · 15/11/2022 19:21

Luca

Oscar and Ollie are overused and will date.

GlassDeli · 15/11/2022 19:51

Magnus
Anthony
Benjamin
Xavier
Jacob
Rafferty

Luca

Oscar and Ollie are overused and will date.

So is Luca though, it’s enormously popular right now, and because it’s suddenly shot up, it’ll date more than the other two if anything

I would put them in the order below OP

Oscar
luca
Ollie but only as a nn for Oliver

Rauha · 15/11/2022 20:06

Oscar

motleymop · 15/11/2022 20:08

I find Oscar to be a bit over-used. I like Ollie but I think I would call him Oliver and then use Ollie as a nickname.

Bournetilly · 15/11/2022 20:12

Luca

Hellno44 · 15/11/2022 20:12

I would call him Leonardo. Leo for short. I would give him your dad's name (if you like him) or your maiden name as a middle name.

Gummibär · 15/11/2022 21:03

Leonardo is much nicer than Luca, Oscar or Ollie

HahahaBoomBoom · 15/11/2022 21:16

In the past 7 days alone I know 2 Luca’s that have been born. And 2 others in the past two months. BUT Luca Leonardo is lovely. One of the babies I know is 1/4 Italian (dads side as well, similar to your baby) and really suits it.

Ollie Leonardo is a mouthful

Oscar Leonardo is nice but Luca wins it

Leonardo on its own is awesome!!

xJ0y · 15/11/2022 21:19

Luca Leonardo

Angelofthenortheast · 15/11/2022 21:36

I'd go for Leonardo. The combo of Dicaprio and Da Vinci makes it the ultimate aspirational name!

Floomobal · 15/11/2022 21:37

I’d do Leo as a first name

Fivebeanchilli · 15/11/2022 21:46

Oscar Leonardo - so great. I love Oscar even though it's popular.
Ollie Leonardo - don't like at all. Oliver would be ok but the others are better.
Luca Leonardo - ok. I like it but prefer Oscar.
Leonardo would be great as a first name too (especially if Leo or Leon could be a nickname).

pimlicoanna · 15/11/2022 21:51

Luca I love. I don't like the other two at all.

notangelinajolie · 15/11/2022 21:57

Luca Leonardo wins by a mile. Fabulous name.
