[Opinions] Luca
What are your thoughts on the name Luca?
I really like it, but our last name begins with the same hard c at the end of Luca, so I've always given it the Instant Veto without really thinking much about it. However, as the days get closer to the baby being born, I'm finding myself much more desperate. :)

I prefer Lucas, but Luca is nice. I would generally stay away from the repeated "c" sounds so close together, but I am reminded of why I warmed to the name Luca to begin with...the handsome, Luka Kovak, played by Goran Visnjic on TV's "ER". I have to admit I never noticed a problem with this character's name and I'm sure it was said rather frequently.

I like it. I first started liking it for a girl, but I've grown to like it on boys too. I don't think it would be too bad with a C last name. Not as bad as Luke, for instance, because it has a vowel in between.
On a kid like mine (American with no particular other heritage) it's just Euro-chic. Luca is to Lucas and Luke as Matthias and Matteo are to Matthew. I don't mean it's bad, but it's sort of like Erik, Sean, Keith, Brian, Kyle ... pulled from another language to get away from the mainstream. Trendy, in a weird way?
Not so much if you're from a country where Luca is the usual form of the name.
I think Lucas C______ would sound nice(r).
