User Comments about the name Luca
Comment left Oct 27, 2009: "I have a 6-month old son named Luca. We are Americans of Italian descent and had our hearts set on Luca for many years. For those that think Luca sounds feminine because it ends with an "a", think about Noah, Ezra, Asa. An "a" doesn't automatically translate into a feminine name. That said, I think we live in an age when it's OK, maybe even cool, to have a name that works for either gender. We are very happy with out choice and get lots of compliments on his name."

Comment left Sep 04, 2009: "My son is 13 and I called him Luca after a handsome Italian I knew many years before. It is definitely a man's name though! in Italy it is a really common name but in the Uk there are only a few. His father is actually Spanish descent, so my Luca is dark, like an Italian. All his mates think it's a cool name and Luca is very pleased that I chose this name for him! :)" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 20, 2009: "If you like Luca, for a girl try Lucca after the Italian city. If you are Italian, there is a distinct difference in the way it is pronounced, and it would give a clue that it is not a little boy. In English, no one would hear any difference in pronunciation. Luca is really a boy's name. My Italian husband went nuts when I wanted to use it for a girl. I think similar to how an English speaker would react to someone wanting to name a boy Lucy. Just didn't sound right." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 29, 2009: "I have never heard this name until today. I agree that it sounds feminine, mainly b/c it ends in an "a". I also think the clothing brand Luca Luca, which is women's clothes! I don't think this name sounds masculine even tho I know it's a boy's name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 10, 2009: "We named our baby boy Luca. Love how it sounds european (we are greek Australian) and it is a little different without being "weird!". Everyone has had positive reactions to it." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 19, 2009: "Hi, my daughters name is Luca and we chose it because it is a gorgeous feminine sounding name. We are not italian or european for that matter so the fact that people from this region insist it is a boys name is only natural due to what they have been brought up with. We live in Australia and everyone LOVES this as a girls name" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 28, 2009: "My son's name is Luca and he is 3. While in Italy we heard this name often, and then when we found out years later, we were having a boy, we knew this was the name. It does mean "Luke" which is obviously masculine. I know a little girl named "Luca" who I met recently and it does irritate me that my son is her age, and I wonder if people will tease him for having a 'girl's name' even though it is obviously male. I still do LOVE this name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 06, 2008: "I have always loved the idea of Luca being a girls name. I think nowadays the 'rules' are a lot more relaxed anyway, and definitely in England the 'a' ending makes it sound very feminine. My name is Kyla which obviously stems from the masculine Kyla, but the 'a' ending changes that-i think the same thing could be said for Luca." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 26, 2008: "We are considering naming our baby girl Luca - I know it is a masculine Italian name...but I think it sounds feminine and I love it! Anyone else agree?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 19, 2008: "I don't understand why Luca has to be a boy's name. I think it would also make a wonderful girl's name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Apr 17, 2008: "its my grandsons name, i had not heard it before in the uk" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 20, 2007: "I dont understand how the person thinks LUCA is an ok name for a girl. It is a boys name clearly a verison of Luke or Lucas. It is a strong male name, not a girls name at all." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 29, 2007: "I think Luca is way better than the English way "Luke". Luca is NOT feminine and it would be strange on a girl. Maybe I'm just saying that cause I'm Italian, I don't know." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 20, 2007: "Luca is a gorgeous name. European sounding, strong and different." (Report as inappropriate)
