I'm a photographer and recently did a shoot where the little girl was named Luca. Before I met her I didn't like that name for a girl but it suited her well.

I love, love, love the name Luca.  That was our definite girls name...until we found out last week that we are having a boy.  :)

Thank you! I've had some strong negative reactions on here like I'm trying to rob all of Italian culture! Normally very strongly opinionated but the negativity has effected me somewhat. Appreciate the support!!!!!

My initial thought was this as well.

RussianMommy:

It is a boy's name.  Love for a boy, hate for a girl.   

ETA: I also think that Luca Eve sounds awful together and doesn't flow well at all.  

 

PS: If you are going to ask for opinions, don't get all butt hurt when you get them. Mjreilly was in no way disrespectful to you and you were way out of line with the name calling.

Ashley also started out as a boys name. And if I remember correctly so did Shannon...

Personally, I say to hell with what everyone else thinks, if you love that name for your child then name it that.

I've gotten mixed feelings on the names me and fiancee have had picked out since before we even started trying. :)
(if it helps...I really like Luca for a girl!)

Thank you Alayna! May I ask your choices? 

I feel like there is a group of people who have named their son Luca or similar and see it moving into the feminine side in this country and many others and that they are scared of their sons having future girlie names.

 My son's name is Sawyer. Would it matter if there was a girl named Sawyer next to him? I don't think so but these really aggressive responses I've seen have begun to stab at my courage.... Argh :)

These are beautiful names. There are enough Sophie & Olivia's - beautiful but quota met I think:). Kael is especially unique. Exciting to see which it will be! :)

Eh, Leslie was traditionally a boys name before someone decided to give it to their girl and now look, it's totally a girls name ;-)

I have never heard the name Luca so I guess I'm unbiased.  I like it.  Not my style but it is not my kiddo either.  If I had had to guess I would have thought it was a girls name because it ends in an -a.

I wouldn't call my son Sue, so I don't see why a masculine name should be given to a girl. Let's face it, that poor little girl is going to get some weird looks at best.

I know. I banged my head so hard on the keyboard it kinda hurts now. At least that kept me from replying in a very harsh, mean way.

Sorry typing on an iPad mini and multitasking at that. 

Jessica, you are fully entitled to reply as harshly as you wish. We are clearly cut from different cloths and will have differing tastes in the naming and surely the rearing of our children. No problem - difference keeps life interesting.

Again this was silly of me. Thank you for your candor, I realize I knew the right answer before posting. Again thanks all for working me through this.

Even an iPad mini has a quote function.  It's at the bottom right of the post.

Just thought I'd put it out there that I have officially blocked RussianMommy....she is the rudest poster on this entire website, and I'm tired of her downing people and their questions, comments, opinions, or pictures. She is the most negative person on this site, and I can't stand reading her posts. She ruins this entire site for me!!!
