Is it ok to use [name_m]LUC/name_m for a baby girl?
I would assume a boy with [name_m]Luc[/name_m]. It would be pronounced look? Or like the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation of [name_m]Luc[/name_m]? I’m also not a big fan of the extra “y” in names. Why not just [name_f]Kendra[/name_f]? Or is it supposed to be pronounced [name_m]Ky[/name_m] (rhymes with [name_m]Ty[/name_m]) and then -endra? I’m confused about both the first and middle.
I agree. I see [name_m]Luc[/name_m] as a boys name, and [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] is so much nicer, however I don’t really see any flow if I’m honest.
Thanks !
We want her nickname to be lucky thats why we come up of the name [name_m]LUC[/name_m] KYENDRA.
Our first option was [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] then we come up of [name_m]Luc[/name_m] Kyendra but we still not decided.
You know the nickname doesn’t have to be in the name? [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Kendra[/name_f] would still make heaps of sense with the nickname [name_u]Lucky[/name_u].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] give her a proper name and a four leaf clover.
Hmm, not really a fan. It sounds like it’s trying too hard, and I see that you are trying hard since it’s [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] you want. I like the idea of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I also think [name_u]Luca[/name_u] works if it’s the hard C sound you’re wanting. Although technically a boy name, it’s better than [name_m]Luc[/name_m]. I think [name_f]Lux[/name_f] could work as well. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] nicknamed [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] is pretty cute.
I agree with the previous posters [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is better than [name_m]Luc[/name_m]. There’s a clothing brand called [name_f]Lucette[/name_f] which I think is an okay name.
To be honest I wouldn’t call my kid [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] even as a nickname. I wouldn’t risk teenage boys being crude when she gets to high school.
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] is such a gorgeous name! You could still have the nickname [name_u]Lucky[/name_u]. [name_m]Luc[/name_m] Kyendra doesn’t flow for me… I’m sure someone here will be able to suggest a much better combination based on your suggestion.
Nope. [name_m]Luc[/name_m] would be pronounced [name_m]Luke[/name_m] (it is a [name_m]French[/name_m] male name) and Kyendra is horrendous. Please consider a proper grown-up name. You can always use the pet-name [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] (for example, we sometimes affectionately refer to my son as [name_m]Bear[/name_m], even though it has nothing to do with his name). Please go back to the drawing board.
Agree with PPs!
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]? [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]? [name_f]Lovely[/name_f]
[name_m]Luc[/name_m]? for a girl? Not so much…
Also, please, you may want to rethink the focus on lucky as a nickname. The opportunities for crude teasing as she gets older are significant.
Perhaps, you could find a name that means fortunate/happy/blessed? [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Gwenyth[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Beata[/name_f], [name_f]Chara[/name_f], [name_f]Fortunata[/name_f], [name_f]Faustina[/name_f]?
Or even a symbol of good luck? [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Star[/name_f]?
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these help!
I like the pp’s suggestions of names that are similar to or have the same meaning as “lucky.” [name_m]Luc[/name_m] Kyendra isn’t appealing visually or aurally, and the name [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] could have several teasing possibilities once she reaches high school. I would look for something else and use [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] as a childhood nn.
I have to agree with previous posters. [name_m]Luc[/name_m] is all-boy to me, and I especially don’t like it if you aren’t going to pronounce it properly. However, [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucette[/name_f] are beautiful.
You mentioned you’d considered [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] as a middle before… [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] sounds both pretty and snappy to me. She can be [name_u]Lucky[/name_u] as a small child and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] when she’s older.
