Hello everyone! =)
So here’s my dilemma…I’m absoloutely in love with [name]Lucy[/name], but only as a nickname.
I’ve visited the Nameberry page for [name]Lucy[/name], and none of the other forms jumped out at me. The only long form we’re fans of right now is [name]Lucinda[/name] (probably [name]Lucinda[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] to honor the grandmas), but we live in the American South and some people have made comments about [name]Lucinda[/name] being too “hickish”. WDYT?
[name]Just[/name] so you can get an idea of our style, here are some of our favorites:
GIRLS: [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Abigail[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Loretta[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Penelope[/name] etc.
BOYS: [name]Henry[/name], [name]Paul[/name], [name]Vincent[/name], [name]John[/name], [name]Edward[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]William[/name], etc.
However, we’re pretty settled on [name]Lucy[/name] (or maybe [name]Jemima[/name]… =P) for [name]Baby[/name] #1, and we plan on having atleast 4 children with two middle names each, so we’ll have plenty of opprotunities to use those names.
Thank you so much!
[name]Sarah[/name]
PS - Oh yes, and our last name is Whitt. =)
