Not sure...

So my partner and myself have been having a difficult time with deciding on a name we both agree...
His always loved the name Luka and so do I, the only thing is my ex's name is Luke and there is quite abit of history and drama when it comes to that.. So his put off the name.. but tonight the name was brought up again...

I know we should not care what other people think I don't but his abit unsure on what people will think and say.

Only name we both agree on and love..

    It's just so hard because so far it's the only name we both agree on..

    The other name was Vincent. (Vinnie)

    Honestly, if it was me I wouldn't use the name. There are SO many names out there, no reason to pick one that is almost identical to an ex's name.

    I probably wouldn't.  Keep looking, you will find something.

    Is Vincent off the table? I like that. I wouldn't use Luka in your situation. You'll find something!

    I think it depends on a lot of factors.  Is this an ex-husband or ex-boyfriend?  If ex-husband, definitely not.  If ex-boyfriend, how long were you together?  How involved was he with family and friends?  How long ago did you date? 

    I mean, if you dated a guy named Luke for 6 months, 5 years ago and he was never really a part of your family life and you don't have current friends in common, then I don't think it's a problem to name your child Luka/Luca. 
    Agree with this.  Vincent (Vinnie) is great, too!

    I wouldn't use a name that was so close to an ex's name but if you really want to use it, spelling it Luca will make it a little less like Luke. Then it's at least 2 letters off from your ex's name.

    I'd spell it Luca. I think it's different enough from Luke.
