I like Lucia and Sofia, not keen on Alethea... Sounds like Alicia but with a lisp to me?

I don't think Eleanor flows well with names ending in an 'a' sound either, but is a lovely name.

Sorry, absolutely no help at all there Grin

How are you pronouncing Lucia?

Sofia/Sophia/Sophie are all very popular at the moment.

I'm not mad keen on Alethea but Thea Rose is lovely.

Agree, Lucia and Sofia are lovely names but Alethea definitely sounds lispy.

Don't like the other two names so it would be Sofia for me

I like them all. particularly Lucia Eleanor.

I wanted to call DD1 Eleanor but my husband didn't like it. I chose another lovely name instead but wish I'd ignored his objections.

Eleanor Rose

Eleanor Rose is very pretty, that'd probably be my choice (even though it isn't an option Grin followed by Lucia Rose.

Lucia Rose flows beautifully. Is that an option OP?

I like Althea (no extra letter) myself.
No one will pronounce Lucia the correct way.
Eleanor is lovely but I still like Althea better.

Is there one correct pronunciation of Lucia then? I've heard it said differently depending on where the family are from.

I love Alethea, though I prefer it spelt Althea.
All your names are pretty though.

I love Sofia Rose, but that's not helpful.

I like all your names but I think first names and second names personally shouldn't end with the same sound so no Jessica Natasha or Alec Jack or something like that.

If I had to choose I'd probably go for Sofia Eleanor. Lovely meaning and pretty.

Rose Sofia is good.

Lucia ..how to pronounce? Loo chee ah?

Alethea I am not liking, Thea, though, is lovely,

Eleanor Thea is lovely.

Thea Rose is lovely.
