[Opinions] Thoughts on the name Luka?
I am really struggling with masculine names. Will it be outdated in 10-20 yrs? Any other similar names that come to mind?

I’ve heard this name so many times that I think it’s outdated already.. I feel Luka is the new Kevin.Hugo Xavier Milo Jonah Oscar Mateo Bodhi Ravi Tycho Lux Eden Damian Ivar Leonardo Ivan Diego Thiago Milan Gideon

I like Luka and Luca a lot but prefer it with a K. "Outdated". I mean... the name is already and is just now coming back. It might take longer than 10 years to become old but less than 20. I don't understand people's taste, so trends elude me. Similar names that I like are Micah and Lucas. A similar name I don't care for is Luke.

I think Luka is a nice name. Since it's gaining popularity now, along with Luca, it will be dated in a few decades time. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have a name that was popular during your time of birth, however it you don't like that you could go with Luke, Lucan, Luno, Judah, Lucanus, Ludo, Lucio, ect.

Either Lucas or Luke would be preferable. Neither of them could be considered dated, or likely to become dated.

I think it will become dated, what about Luke timeless and classic

I like this name!
It’s been quite consistently popular in several different countries, however it has quite sharply risen in the USA, so whether or not it will be considered dated soon is relative to where you are. If you are in the USA, then I think that although the name itself may not become super tied to recent years, combined with Luca and Lucas it could be.
In other countries, such as Belgium, England and Wales and Finland, the popularity has stayed quite similar across the years available, so it may appear less dates in the future (though, again, it’s combined popularity with Lucas and Luca may tell a different story).
Personally, I don’t think a name becoming dated is really a bad thing. Luka is a nice name and if you like it, I don’t think there should be an issue. But if you do find it being dated a problem, that’s okay! Here are some names I think are similar:
Adam, Dominik, Emil, Erik, Joseph, Julian, Leo, Levi, Leon, Maximilian, Niko, Nikola, Toma, Tom, Victor, Marko, Milo, Oliver, Oscar, Oskar, Rafael, Raphael, Vito
Hope some of this helped!
