We are expecting our first child - a boy and being both Italian want to stick to an Italian first name. We agree on Luca. We love it actually. However my husband's last name (Bombino) makes for some very harsh sounding "typical Italian" names.
I like Luca Blue Bombino - breaking up the Italian.
Of course he hates it. Am i crazy for liking it?

I like it! I think it's different. But don't worry me and my husband are expecting our first child and we don't know what it is yet and we can barely agree on first names much less any middle names so good luck.

Maybe it's just the sound of the names together he doesn't like. I think Luca is adorable, and I can understand trying to work with your last name (ours really seems to exclude lots of names I would love otherwise, so I can relate LOL). However, when you say/read all three names together - Luca Blue Bombino - it sounds terribly close to "Look a blue bambino!" (tehe). Not trying to knock it, but maybe that's the reason your dh doesn't care for that particular combo? He might be much more open to another not-so-Italian mn suggestion ... just might not like Blue, in particular, KWIM? (Plus, since he's already shot down that choice, you might have a much better chance of convincing him of something he doesn't dislike "as much," so you might be able to sneak something just as nice into that mn slot ... do you have any other favorites?). HTH! :)
