I love the name Luca! It’s so sweet and it means light! Also it fits well with any age. I like it more as a middle name than a first name because there are no nicknames.
Weird.
Cute! It’s super popular though, (most likely because of the Disney movie) so I’d probably just use it as a middle name.
Luca for a girl name? Interesting.
My best friend is named Luca and she's definitely a girl. We've talked about gender before (I'm nonbinary) and she identifies completely and totally as a cisgender girl. I don't care that it's supposed to be a boys name or that some of the other commenters think it's ugly on a girl--i think it's one of the things that makes her unique and an awesome friend!
Great name, it reminds me of laughter, adventures and curiosity of nature, music, dreamscapes, and space. Very buoyant and handsome and cool.
I really like this name. Luca is a really cute name for a little boy, but it sounds incomplete in my opinion, so I would probably go with Lucas/Lukas. Luca is a great name for a boy, and only masculine. I can’t imagine this name on a girl. For a girl, I would go with Lucy or Lucille.
Handsome boy name to me.
Handsome and way better than the ugly overused Lucas.
Like the Slavic counterpart "Luka", just because the name Luca ends with letter "a" does not make it feminine. Luca is a masculine name, variant of Lucas, and will always be that way no matter on what gender it is used. I love Luca for a boy, and have never considered it feminine or unisex in any way. Naming a girl Luca is like naming a boy Lucy. There are some masculine-sounding names that sound OK on girls, but Luca does not fall under the same category. Although I wouldn't name my son this (see my comment on Luka why), I personally think Luca has a nice meaning and strong sound.
I think this is a unisex name, it sounds fine for either gender. However, maybe it’s because it ends in the uh sound like many popular names like Olivia, Sophia, Emma. I envision this on a little girl. It’s still an okay name for a boy, but I personally would use Lucas or Luke instead, but those names are kind of popular so I understand why Luca is being used for boys.

Luca is an adventurous and inventive young sea monster who yearns to explore the surface world above with a fellow street- wise monster of the same age named Alberto.

In my opinion, I feel like this could be a nice girl/female name as well.
This name sounds really nice.
Luca is probably my favorite boy's name right now. I absolutely love it! It makes me think of a strong, handsome, and quiet boy. Generally speaking, I prefer the spelling Luka though.
Not much impression about this name. Plain, boring, and again, just boring, I just don't see charm in it, too trendy also, not the nicest name.

I'm a girl, and my name's Luca. If I had been a boy I was also going to be called Luca, cause my parents genuinely really liked the name. I have never been bullied for it, mostly because unisex names are on the rise. My middle name is Roxanne-Toyah, which I think goes well with Luca.
I actually like the name Luca. I prefer it to Luke. Luca on a girl? No thank you.

I am sick of people on here criticizing the androgyny of names. Like, why does gendering names matter that much to you? Don't police people on things so inconsequential; it's not worth anyone's time.
Anyway, I love this name. I often use it as an alias when I don't want people to recognize me online, and if I were to have to change my name & wanted it in a romance language, this'd be what I'd change it to.

It's a nice name. It's very cute. I'm not sure how well it will age though, but it has quite a lot of history so I think it should be ok. But please, if you're going to use this name- 1. Have an Italian last name to go with it (ie. Be Italian. Luca Johnson sounds very tacky and trendy) and 2. Use it for a boy! I don't know why it's used for girls.

I will be honest and say that I enjoy this name-- "Luca." Though, an image of a Doberman Pinscher does not cease to appear in my head, hah. But I think that the use should be limited... the sound alone has the power to look incredibly spoiled, I suppose. In moderation, and used only on those of the original, intended decent/ethnicity of this name should bear it.Overall: my approval is given.
Ugh, I hate this name! It sounds so posh and effeminate. It makes me think of a spoiled European child.
I really like this name, if I had a son, I'd call him this, but the guy from the godfather puts me off.
