Although it does sound pretty feminine, it's such a nice boy's name. There have been a ton of masculine girl names for years at this point, so having a boy named Luka isn't bad. And honestly, I prefer Luka over Luke as well.

I've always known it as a girl's name in Japan, so it's a girl's name for me. Similar thing with Remi and Yuri.

Like it better as a girl's name. Has a strong sound and a sort of masculine edge, but I think it works well for a girl. Very strong name.

I don't get why people are so up in arms about Luka being used as a girl's name. In my opinion it can totally work as both. I know Luka as a masculine name from the Suzanne Vega song, and I know it as a girl's name from the Vocaloid Megurine Luka (though it's technically meant to be Ruka since the letter L doesn't exist in the Japanese language, but whatever). I think this name sounds amazing no matter which gender it's used for!

I love the name Luka... for a BOY. Not every name that is used for boys needs to be used for girls.

I am kind of surprised no one mentioned Luka Magnotta. He became somewhat infamous after he posted a graphic video called "1 guy 1 icepick".

Even though it means "blood" in my language (which is obviously unable to be used), I still like this name because of the Croatian footballer Luka Modrić. The Vocaloid association is just misleading; "L" does not exist in Japanese so Megurine Luka's name is supposed to be pronounced/spelled "Ruka". However, I wish the masculine rating would increase. It is a variant of Lucas/Lukas, and an "a" ending does not necessarily make it feminine. Use Lucia or Lucy instead for a girl!

Nice name. Exclusively masculine in my opinion. I don’t care for it on a girl.

Personally this is the best spelling for this name because then you could go with Luke easily as a nickname.

Why are the comments so mad that it can be used on a girl...if you don't want to name your girl Luka then don't, just let people do what they want. It's not even that outrageous of a name - it's not like they're naming her John or Stephen or some other super boyish name. Luka to me doesn't sound inherently male or female, I think it works for both.

This is NOT a girl's name. Just because you think it sounds feminine doesn’t mean it is. Please, do not ever name your baby girl this. It sounds perfect on a boy though. I think it could work for non-binary too, though :)

While it's used as a masculine name in many countries, it's still often used as a unisex name, and it's a name used by nonbinary people for that reason. I think labeling it solely as masculine is a little misleading because of that. I feel like a better labeling would be masculine and unisex.

I'm tired of people using male names on females. Just because you think a name sounds feminine doesn't mean it is. Luka isn't a feminine or unisex name. It's only a male name and I hope it stays that way.

In a recent article Suzanne Vega describes how the name of the song was originally inspired by a young (not abused) boy who lived in her building, but that the name Luka is “universal. It could be a girl or boy and it could be any nationality.” A great description of a gorgeous name.
