In order of preference...
Georgia
Lucy
Darcey
Lucia

I really love Georgia. Lucy is nice. Darcey and Lucia are ok. I struggle with Lucia and the potential pronunciation problems.

Lucy and Lucia are lovely. Georgia is OK, wouldn't be my preference. Darc(e)y is awful (sorry). There are so many beautiful girls' names out there, why choose that one? Plus it will date, badly.

I like Lucy a lot, but I'm not keen on any of the others.

Lucia will cause confusion with pronunciation.
Darcey/Darcy will date, and to me is just not an attractive name.
I don't have anything in particular against Georgia, I just much prefer Georgina.

Lucia is a really pretty name! I have a good friend with this name and no one has ever found it confusing or difficult.

They are all nice names but Darcey and Georgia are probably my least favourite!

Lucy obviously Wink
Then Lucia. Its such a pretty but strong name.

Darcey/Darcy I just don't "get" it and how it has become popular sorry Blush

Lucia is the nicest, followed by Georgia. Lucy is ok but I don't like Darcey at all.

Lucy - Lovely.
Lucia - Okay but prefer Lucy, least favourite of these.
Georgia - Love it, favourite of these.
Darcey - Love it, but prefer the spelling Darcy.

Thanks for the opinions, very helpful. Liking Lucia LOO-SEE-A best, despite issues with pronouncing it maybe. Can use Lucy as nickname. Darcey too risky as not tried and tested for long enough and chance of becoming common??
Like Georgia but not 'clicking'.

Many thanks
