This popped into my head about a week ago, and it wont go away.. WDYT?  

DeLuca     for a girl?

I know its a last name, and sounds more boyish.. but for some reason it wont go away, I like the sound of it more and more.

To me, it's a bit fat no because:

a. Of the inter-capitalisation. It looks silly and unnecessary.
b. It appears made up

I have to ask, though, do you pronounce the Luca part like the boys name, or like Loo-sha. The latter would be more feminine I think, and I would prefer it. But I still can't get past the spelling.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

no phonetic rule in the world -at least, not in Western countries- would allow to read it as such ;)

As in Dean and DeLuca? The deli?

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Felicity!

[christhiane.livejournal.com]

Makes me think of Deli De Luca. Or whatever. Oslo's full of them.

I kind of like it

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Big fat no from me too.
It'an italian last name and it shouts illiterate, if used as a first name, regardless of boy or girl.
It's 100% un-classy, sorry.

It's made up and has no history or even interesting meanings.
It's not in the least feminine sounding.
It has a capital letter in the middle of the name which is beyond trashy.
It would make me wonder what the hell the parents were thinking.

For a rhyming alternative... what about Verruca?

[neroli.livejournal.com]

As in wart (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=verruca)? Yikes!

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

I just asked my husband how to convey that I obviously DO know what a verruca is... without sounding too snarky of either you or the original poster.

But we failed to come up with anything witty. Sorry!

Haha, when I read this post I knew you'd say something about Maria!

[harangues.livejournal.com]

i like it, but i don't think everyone else here is going to, heh.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

it's okay, but i'd only use it as a middle name. scott baio recently used it for his daughter's middle name: bailey deluca.

DeLuca will always be a last name imo, so I don't like it as a first name; especially for a girl.

My first thought was of Kit De Luca, Julia Roberts's whore pal in Pretty Woman. Somehow, that memory has spanned a 17-year bridge.

But shoving that aside...I've always thought Luca was an incredibly feminine boy name, so I can understand the gender switch. I think Deluca looks very pretty, but I don't like the way it sounds aloud.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

It's awful.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

I agree.
And anyways I only like Luca itself for boys.

I think Luca is a really masculine boy name (re: The Godfather), and so I can't see Luca on a girl. DeLuca is even worse, I can't stand names being capitalized it the middle!! People will ether think she is LDS, or somehow connected to Duluth, Minnesota! Sorry, I have to say its tacky. :(
