Lucelia

Hi all

I have just gone 8 weeks pregnant and have started looking through the odd baby name book. I have come across the name Lucelia, which I think I like but not sure if it is just too over fussy. What do people thing? Is it a yay or a nay?

Thanks x

Other names we are considering are Tabitha and Juliet.
We have got two LO already called James and Isabel x

It's pretty, but you might find people struggle with pronunciation (or maybe that's just me!).

I love Lucia but this seems a bit much.

Way too fussy for me. It would need spelling out all the time

What about Lucina?

florascotia · 22/11/2014 14:09

It's Portuguese, isn't it? And it's usually spelled with an acute accent on the 'e'. In which case the usual pronounciation would be Loo-SAY-lyah.

I think that it's rather pretty, but, as others have already said, you might find people have problems with saying it.

Lucilla is easier to pronounce.

(I really like Juliet)

Belazu84 · 22/11/2014 15:57

Much prefer Lucia, Lucy or Celia!

Lucaslovesfelicity · 22/11/2014 18:55

Yes, I agree that the pronunciation will probably be an issue. Thanks for all your comments Grin

I don't like the spelling, i suggest Lucille..
Juliet is a nice name too.

DramaAlpaca · 22/11/2014 20:55

I'm not keen on Lucelia, tbh, but I adore Juliet, it's beautiful.

maggiethemagpie · 22/11/2014 20:56

prefer Luella if you want a variation on Lucy.

Applefallingfromthetree2 · 22/11/2014 20:59

Why not just go for Celia, very pretty and classic and not so fussy?

Sophronia · 23/11/2014 00:13

I like Tabitha with James and Isabel.

Sinkingfeeling · 23/11/2014 00:15

Hmm, sounds like a blend of Lucia and Celia to me - prefer both of those names to Lucelia.

mymummademelistentoshitmusic · 23/11/2014 00:31

Maggie, Luella is very poor trashy South American. Nasty.
