[name]Do[/name] [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Luciana[/name] or even [name]Luciella[/name] have the quirky, spunky yet sweet image that [name]Lucy[/name] has?
[name]Do[/name] you prefer [name]Lucy[/name] as full name or nn? If you prefer it as nn, which longer names do you like?
Thanks.
I love [name]Lucia[/name] (Loo-sha) and [name]Lucy[/name] both, though I think of [name]Lucia[/name] as being more pretty than [name]Lucy[/name], which I definitely think of as most spunky of all the names you suggested. I considered both of these names (until we had a boy) and think they are great.
I prefer [name]Lucia[/name] with NN [name]Lucy[/name]. Or even [name]Lucille[/name] NN [name]Lucy[/name] to just [name]Lucy[/name]. It can stand by itself but feels incomplete to me.
I prefer it as a nn for [name]Luciana[/name], or [name]Lucia[/name] (Loo See [name]Ah[/name])
I definitely prefer [name]Lucy[/name] as a nickname, it has never seemed complete as a full name to me and I find it odd when I happen across adults named [name]Lucy[/name] because it seems to childlike.
I like [name]Lucia[/name] [loo-CHEE-ah] as a full version of [name]Lucy[/name] I also like [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Lucille[/name] - though I donât think these would be your style as theyâre more vintage than spunky - and [name]Louisa[/name], though unconventional, could work too.
I donât really think Lucy, Luciana or Luciella are spunky. Lucia is I guess gets the âsweet & spunkyâ vibe⌠I wouldnât call any of them quirky. Luciella is the most uncommon, but it sounds trendy with the -ella ending.
I think Lucy works just fine on its own, though I am a Lucia (started off as LU-sha, but when I moved to Spain I just gave in and went with lu-THEE-a, but Iâm happy with any pronunciation now) and mostly go by Lucy. I like having the option to use either, and Lucia is more international, which I really appreciate.
I like Lucila quite a bit (lu-THEE-la/ lu-SEE-la), and I think Lucina (lu-SEE-na) is gorgeous.
My given name is [name]Lucy[/name], and I think its fine as a full name. I like being âjustâ [name]Lucy[/name], if you know what I mean.
If I could choose, Iâd have it short for [name]Lucia[/name] (Loo-see-ah) or [name]Lucille[/name], but it definitely doesnât bother me enough to consider changing it.
I prefer [name]Lucia[/name] with the nn [name]Lucy[/name]. I donât feel like they have the same image, personally, but I think thatâs what the full name and nickname are there for. It makes her name more multi-faceted.
[name]Lucy[/name], to me, is like [name]Lily[/name]âI think itâs completely usable by itself and I would do so if it was a MN, but for me, as a FN, I need a longer name. [name]Lucia[/name] is my favorite, but I also like [name]Luciana[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name]. Thereâs also [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name], [name]Lucette[/name], etc., but those donât really appeal to me⌠just figured I would list them in case youâre looking for more options.
I donât like [name]Lucy[/name] on her own, no. Mostly because sheâs as popular as she is, but also because sheâs just a little too cute and because there are so many options to choose from for a long version.
[name]Lucia[/name] is my favourite way, but I like [name]Lucasta[/name], [name]Lucerne[/name], [name]Lucetta[/name], [name]Lucida[/name], [name]Lucina[/name], [name]Lucienne[/name], [name]Lucine[/name], Lucinia, Luciola and [name]Lucrezia[/name] + [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name] is my favorite, as well, and I think it is spunky and sweet, but not really quirky, but [name]Lucy[/name] gives her the quirkyness.
I prefer [name]Lucy[/name] on its own. The longer versions just donât hold the same feeling for me as [name]Lucy[/name]. I think of [name]Lucy[/name] Honeychurch from the [name]EM[/name] [name]Forster[/name] novel, âA Room with a View.â Sheâs one of my fav literary characters! Her pretentious cousin sometimes calls her [name]Lucia[/name] (loo-CHEE-ah), which I also kind of like, but I prefer just [name]Lucy[/name]. I actually dislike [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Lucille[/name]. They feel like old ladies to me still.
We have a [name]Lucy[/name] and it fits her perfectly. Never considered a longer version. But weâre also not nickname people. I did a poll a while back asking people who had classic nicknames as to what name they go by into their adulthood. An overwhelming majority said they continued to go by their nicknames. The given name on the birth certificate was just so foreign to them after being called something for 20+ years. Not true for everyone, but found it true for most. While I know many nameberry fans love a fuller name, I find that if most people continue with the nickname into adulthood, then whatâs the point of a fuller name that only lives on a birth certificate? Go with the name you love and if you want her to eventually be a [name]Lucia[/name] or [name]Lucille[/name], then would probably try to call her by those names growing up, too⌠Along with [name]Lucy[/name]. So sheâs used to the other name, too. Otherwise, would say to just give her the name [name]Lucy[/name]. From our experience, when you get a little outside of the nameberry community, everyone we meet absolutely loves this name and has no problem with it standing alone as a full name. Good luck!
Thank you so much. This helped me a lot!
