I know it will date but I've decided that I definitely prefer names of now so at least I'm half way there. Thinking lucia is winning at the mo. What do you think? And any similar suggestions? Thankyou.

I know two, aged 13 and 8, so I don't think it will date. The 13 yr old is Lu-chee-ah and the 8 yr old is Lu-cee-ah.

dangerousliaison · 29/05/2012 20:13

some people say it more like lucy-ah though

dangerousliaison · 29/05/2012 20:12

Lu..cee..ah

I wanted to name DD this but DH vetoed. I would have used the Italian pronunciation.

It's a classic -- it's Lucy in Italian/Spanish.

Absolutely stunning name

I like it and would pronounce it Lu-chee-a.

Reminds me of the Mapp & Lucia books. They're a hoot! Miss Mapp and Lucia are two crashing snobs and each other's nemesis. They're both vying for pole social position in a 1930's provincial English town.

scentednappyhag · 29/05/2012 17:12

Lu-thea is my favourite pronunciation, but all of them sound quite lovely Smile

Shutupanddrive · 29/05/2012 17:10

Love it!

turnigitonitshead · 26/05/2012 16:26

I have looseeah, I find some people pronounce it with a short see and longer ahh, which I love but it does not roll off my tongue that way. I tend to say with a longer see and shorter ah, if that makes any sence at all. My dd called her self seeaa beaa when little, very cute.

loobylu3 · 26/05/2012 16:14

Lovely name. I don't see it dating particularly as it has never been v popular.
I like the Loo- see-ah pronunciation the best.

applepieinthesky · 25/05/2012 21:40

I love it and prefer the loo-see-ah pronounciation.

SuzysZoo · 25/05/2012 21:27

It is a lovely name. My friend pronounces her version Loot -sea-er, so there are a lot of versions, clearly!

ED1984 · 25/05/2012 08:39

It is our daughter's middle name, and I love it! Often wish we had used it as a first name even. I don't think of it as a name that would date at all - quite the opposite in fact.

NurseBernard · 25/05/2012 02:56

It's a lovely name and one I will add to my every-increasing arsenal of names that I think won't date...!

Doitnicelyplease · 25/05/2012 01:45

DD's middle name - we pronounce LU-CHEE-A (Italian version).

Ours is two as well and calls herself Sizzy. Grin

TooMuchFuckingPerspective · 24/05/2012 20:45

We have a Lucia and pronounce it LooSEEah. We find that quite a few people automatically pronounce it the Italian way (loo CHE ah). But we always say we absolutely don't mind how people pronounce it- actually sometimes I switch between the two. Or Loo Loo as a nick name. She is 2 now and calls herself See-ah.

SaltResistantSlug · 24/05/2012 20:29

My friend has a loo-SEE-ah. Lovely, and fairly unusual.

That's lovely loony! Im really surprised people don't think of it as a now name, I thought it was quite new. But that's a bonus! Grin think this is the name!

Yeah I like loo-see-ah not so keen on loo-chi-ah but wouldn't be offended if someone did pronounce it that way. It really is a lovely name isn't it. Ah thanks psammead, was just curious Wink

Nice name :) dd1 has it as her middle name with the Spanish pronunciation. (Lu Thea)

If I saw it in the uk I would guess at a Lu see ah. There is also the Italian pronunciation of Lu chee ah so you definitely need to decide how you want to say it! I don't think of it as a particularly now name though :) so it might not date as much as you think.
