What do you think might be best?

I have two questions that I need help with please but first off some background information. My birth name is [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and it’s my legal first name. I have no middle name/names. My surname is [name_m]Brooks[/name_m]. While I love the name [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], it has always bothered me on how short the name is. I am considering changing my name legally to a longer form of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I am British and live in [name_f]England[/name_f].

I have recently fallen in love with [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]. I am considering changing my name to [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] and going by [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] on a daily basis but sometimes be called [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]. My concern about [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] though is it easily pronounceable for English speakers? Another option is [name_f]Luciana[/name_f].

Another option is to keep [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] as my first name and not change it and have an L middle name. Some L name options are…
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Leora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Lisbeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Liana[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Lumina[/name_f]

Any more suggestions? Thanks.

I love [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Luciana[/name_f]! And I don’t think [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] would be hard to pronounce :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]! It’s classy, sweet and even elegant. I can only think of one way to pronounce it, unlike [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] which has at least two. I also love [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f].
Personally, I’d change my first name instead of just adding a middle name. Out of the ones you mentioned [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] is my favorite.

I don’t think that [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] is hard to pronounce. I also like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Liana[/name_f].

[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] are both very pretty & easy to pronounce!

I don’t think that just adding a middle name will do much since most people rarely use them outside of official documents. I personally would just change my first name. You could still give yourself a middle name if you wanted one. :slight_smile:

I really love [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] (I say loo-see-ah-nah)! It’s probably my favorite long form of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]’s really pretty too! I don’t think that you’d have any pronunciation problems.

[name_f]Lumina[/name_f] is my favorite from your middle name list.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

I just wanted to throw [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucette[/name_f] in there too as alternatives

I think [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] is very pretty too

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] with a middle name could also work. I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
