So in a different thread a while back I was weighing [name]Grace[/name] [name]Regina[/name] vs. [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. User elisabeth rae suggest [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name], but at the time I wasn’t interested. Lately though I’ve been thinking of it and starting to love it. I feel like [name]Regina[/name] provides some weight for [name]Lucy[/name] while [name]Jane[/name] plays up it’s spunkiness. Since I think [name]Lucy[/name] has a slightly more youthful vibe than her sisters I thought [name]Regina[/name] might be perfect. As a Catholic I love the [name]Marian[/name] connection - I’ve considered the first name [name]Mary[/name] many times but dh doesn’t love it and [name]Mary[/name] doesn’t seem to work in the middle spot very well. I’m far from [name]Canada[/name] so I don’t think the unfortunate pronunciation of [name]Regina[/name] would be an issue. Our last name is Ty$0n. If it matters, sibling first names are in the signature and their middles are [name]Stephen[/name], [name]Michelle[/name], [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Rose[/name], and [name]Philip[/name].
[name]Lucy[/name] is one of dh’s favorites so if we use it I’m sure he’ll provide no arguments about middle names.
I really like [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name]. It sounds very classic and more sophisticated than [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
If you want another [name]Marian[/name] connection, what about [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Maria[/name]? [name]Maria[/name] has more weight than [name]Mary[/name] in the middle name spot, and in my opinion, sounds fantastic!
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] is nice! I like [name]Grace[/name] [name]Regina[/name] more, but [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] is nice, as well. I have to say, though, I like [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name] more than [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name]. I think [name]Jane[/name] still grounds [name]Lucy[/name] nicely, while [name]Regina[/name] makes [name]Lucy[/name] feel dated, for some reason, to me. I still do like the combo, though.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] is gorgeous! [name]Lucy[/name] is so sweet and spunky, and it is balanced nicely with the sophistication of [name]Regina[/name].
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] is beautiful! I like it just as much as [name]Grace[/name] [name]Regina[/name]. However, if I had to choose between the two, I would choose [name]Grace[/name] [name]Regina[/name], as she goes beautifully with your other children’s names.
[name]Grace[/name] does work really well. In fact if [name]Mark[/name] had been a girl he would have been [name]Grace[/name]. Actually my three other choices [name]Grace[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], or [name]Theresa[/name] probably all work better than [name]Lucy[/name]. But there is something so charming about [name]Lucy[/name] that I keep coming back to. And it’s not like throwing a super trendy or uniquely spelled name in the set. The most critical naming piece for us is a Catholic feast day and [name]Lucy[/name] has that in spades.
That’s cute. [name]Laura[/name] is my name and a family name on my mom’s side. And [name]Lawrence[/name] is my dad’s name and a family name on dh’s side. I’ve never found a first name I like that sounds decent with [name]Laura[/name] in the middle spot and [name]Elizabeth[/name] actually sounds nice with [name]Laura[/name], [name]IMO[/name]. [name]Hence[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Laura[/name].
I love [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Laura[/name], also! For what it’s worth, I really love [name]Elizabeth[/name] with your sibset, especially with [name]Katharine[/name].
I actually love both [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] :). There is something magical about [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Regina[/name] though. Plus I love the meanings together. [name]Lucy[/name] + [name]Regina[/name] = [name]Queen[/name] of [name]Light[/name]!
I was curious to see if anyone would notice.
