Love it though I'd pronounce it Loo-see-ah, unless you're Italian.

I love it and would say Loo - che - a - I don't see the problem with the pronunciation, but I am a fan of the Mapp and Lucia books.

English pronunciation was traditionally Loo-sha (as in the Caribbean island St Lucia). Spanish is Loo-see-a. Italian is Loo-chee-a. There are other ways to say it as well, so it could be a bit confusing! Pretty name, though, more interesting than Lucy.
