[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all
I am just wondering how bad a combo is [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f]. [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] is a honour name that I really want to use. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is one of my top contenders for a new first name. [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] is the other.
So my question is [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] that bad that it makes in unusable?
Thanks in advance.
It’s not bad, it’s just matchy. Both two syllable names ending in a strong E sound, it’s a little singsongy. It’s not necessarily unusable, but I wouldn’t use it personally. I like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] a lot though. You could even get away with [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] “[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]”, all the sounds are there to make [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] a nickname.
There’s also [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]?
Or [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f], [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Sofie[/name_f], Lucianne [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] “[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]”?
Thank you for your feedback. I do agree it is sing songy. I didn’t think of [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] nicknamed [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. If I did this I would probably spell [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], Lusie just for the S in [name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
I can’t use [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] as [name_f]Sofie[/name_f] is the honour name and I don’t want to change it. I can’t use [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] as I have a neighbour called [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], which is a pity because I like it. I do like [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] as well but I am unsure how to pronounce it properly.
That might help with the issues with your niece too - if your given name is [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], your family can call you that and your friends, colleagues etc can call you Lusie. I think its a nice compromise that your sister might be happy with, and I think Lusie is a nice spelling to link the nickname to [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] 
I think so too, the fact it might help with my nieces name. I am going to mention the compromise to my sister tonight.
Good luck! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] it goes well for you
