I've got a nephew named Luca, 8 years old. He's been fine with it, but he's a New Zealander. In this country names largely seem to polarise to either the conservative, or ridiculous.

will it's name affect the resale value? given your MTB selling after 5 mins history?

Please please please don't give him the Second Name as First Name thing, far too many **** poncing around called "Campbell" and "Farquar" around here but that might just be Edinburgh.

We had a dry run with a little Westie
Even though he is the BIGGEST pain in the ass

Hels - those are reasonably common and traditional Scots first names.

Luca is a good name. Don't worry about the piss take potential. Well, Adolf might be a bit far, but you know what I mean.
My eldest girl is called Rae. She has never had any confusion among kids about having a boy's (sounding) name - only adults get confused.

Luca's nice, but this is a good point (assuming you have no Italian heritage):
"What's your name?"
"Luca."
"Luke?"
"No, Luca."
"How do you spell that?"
That said, some kids' names are spelt deliberately stupidly these days IMO.
(unwraps another Werthers)
There's a kid at my son's nursery whose name is Daniel, yet his parents have spelt this Danyall. That's a lifetime of the above conversation for that wee guy.
Plus, the more abstract the spelling, the harder it'll become to obtain those super rear windscreen sticker things for your car that advertise to all road users behind you the names of your children, like they care in the least. Love those.

Arthur. A strong name, unusual yet 'not' unusual and possibly future-proofed.
Next door neighbours have just had their first. He's caled Arthur. My mother's reaction was to describe it (positively) as a strong name. But she's Welsh (King Arthur, etc.).
Our youngest son is called Jago. Not many of them around.
Went to school with a Jago, who was also known as Jake.
having a red haired son I don't have a problem with that, but one advantage - they learn to fight well!!
As a red-haird son, I concur.

I'm not sure it matters anymore. Since minor celebrities started calling their kids after any town they might have conceived in, or just putting two existing names together to form a new nonsense name, it seems anything goes.
But wasn't Suzanne Vega singing from the point of view of a woman in "My name is Luca"?
How about a nice traditional name?
My kids are Agnes and Arthur.

In my time, I've encountered (I almost said come across, but that sounded a bit odd.....) kids with the names Lambrini, Martini, Stella, if it's OK to name the child after whatever alcoholic drink had been consumed prior to conception then Luca is fine by me.
In my son's case, he should be named Vodka Red Bull, but the fashion for alcoholic inspired names hadn't arisen 10 years ago, so very straightforward & conventional Joshua it was.

In that case he would be known as:

Ben(jamin)'s nice, so is Tim(othy) or Michael (Mike), Anthony (Tony), Jon(athan, James, Mark. All pretty bomb proof.
My name is Karin, so I have the pronounciation/spelling conversation A LOT. Karen, Carlin, Carine, Corinne, Karly, even Kevin once. It's like car in a garage .. car - in .. Karin oh yes, ok Kurrin.

It actually tastes STUNNING- mix 3 parts rum to 1 part Ginger beer.
It just looks and reads sooo wrong..
