I love it and pretty much every related name.

I really love the name Luca! But in Germany, where I live, Luca is sooo common and unfortunately kind of trashy...

I think the spelling Luka makes it tougher.

he lives on the second floor

Sorry, but that dumb song was the only association I have with this name. I think the sound is ugly too, just as I think Lucas and Luke are unattractive.

That's what I thought at first too, and then my friend named her son Luca and it totally changed my mind. It's strong without being overly macho, and unusual without being bizarre.

I think it's a lovely name and don't find it effeminate at all. I see it as quite a strong name, so not girly in any way to me!

It's not hypermasculine or anything, but I think it's handsome.

I don't mind Luca. It's popular in Australia at the moment, as is Lucas (which I dislike), but it seems weird to me on little boys without Italian backgrounds. I know. I should totally not feel that way. I think different ethnic names are anyone's game, but Luca is that one exception for me, for no real reason at all.

I don't think it is overly effeminate. Micah, Judah, Ezra, even Sasha I find all very masculine.

More mobster in an Armani suit than effeminate. I don't like it very much due to the fact some use it as a girls name and my said image of the name.

I love Luca on a boy! I would probably use it as a middle name though. Jordan Luca? Luca also works for a girl. Peter Facinelli's daughter's name is Luca Bella. But, to me, Luca is just a great boy's name.

It really IS effeminate.

Effeminate as in "purse-wearing, overly groomed, and snooty European guy obsessed with soccer".

I love the name, but I prefer Luka. I just don't like the way Luca looks.
