I was over in the UK last week for a quick visit and was struck by how many [name]Lucy[/name]'s I met. I hardly ever meet a [name]Lucy[/name] in the US and looking at the name rankings I can see why, although it seems to have increased in popularity more lately. I suppose [name]Lucy[/name] does strike me as somewhat of an English name, despite Peanuts and [name]Lucille[/name] Ball. What do people think of [name]Lucy[/name] and any ideas on why it may be much more popular in the UK than the US? CS [name]Lewis[/name] and [name]Narnia[/name]?
I know a few people that have a [name]Lucy[/name]. I personally love it, but DH vetoed it. Not sure why it is not as popular. I think it is on the way up the charts here as well.
I adore [name]Lucy[/name] and it will most likely be our first daughter’s name. I dont know why it is more popular in the UK than the US, but I have noticed that it is higher up the rankings in New Zealand (where I live) and Australia too.
I live in Northern [name]Ireland[/name] and know a ton of Lucys (in their 30s) AND I know a lot of little girls called [name]Lucy[/name]. It seems to be very popular here.
I’m a [name]Lucy[/name] 
Its extremely uncommon in my age group here, the only other [name]Lucy[/name]'s I know are under the age of 10 
I think it has something to do with the soft revival of “vintage” names in the US - [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Ava[/name], [name]Aveline[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], etc. [name]Lucy[/name] has that vintage feel. I’m still kicking myself that I used [name]Lucy[/name] for the dog instead of waiting for a human baby.
I feel like in the UK, shorter, older, cuter names are much more in fashion, whereas in the US, it seems to be more surnamey, masculine or contemporary names.
I’m a [name]Lucy[/name] ([name]Lucia[/name]) and I’ve only ever met one other [name]Lucy[/name], and she spells her name Lusi… and she’s actually from the UK, haha. I’m from [name]Canada[/name], by the way. I’ve met/ heard a few people being called [name]Luc[/name]ía since I’ve been living in Spain (Valencian Community & the Basque Country), but I’ve heard it on younger kids and never on someone my age; it’s about 5 times more popular in the past decade than it was in the 80s when I was born.
Actually, [name]Lucy[/name] appears in the U.S. top 100, so it is getting very common here as well.
[name]Lucy[/name] is top 30 in my state (I live in Australia) and that really bums me out. I love it a lot, though, so would still use it. I agree with what the previous poster said about short, sweet, vintage names being popular in the UK and the more trendy, surname names being big in the US. I think [name]Lucy[/name] will rise a little in popularity, though.
