Thanks for the replies.

I'm afraid I must be a bit dim then because I do pronounce it loo-see-ahWink, I toyed with the idea of going for loo-chee-ah as it is lovely but I thought that with an English accent loo-see-ah comes more naturally.

It looks like Phoebe and Annabelle are the front runners for girls and Elliott and Henry for boys.

I love Henry but do worry that it is very popular. My DH loves Edison but I'm yet to get one vote for that-what do you think of it?

Thanks also for the suggestions I do like Tobias but a good friend of mine has a DS called that so it's a no go!

Lucia in Spanish is pronounced loo-see-a so you would be "a bit dim" to think there's only one way of pronouncing a name.
I like annabel and Henry/Elliot

It's not "thick" to pronounce Lucia with an "s" sound - that is how it is pronounced in Sweden.

Phoebe and Henry would be my top choices. Both sound lovely with Lucia, however it is pronounced!

DalekInAFestiveJumper · 27/08/2013 03:58

Phoebe and Elliott, although TBH, I like all of your boys names!

TheFillyjonk · 27/08/2013 02:06

Phoebe and Elliott.

SkylerRose · 27/08/2013 01:39

Serena / phoebe

What about tobias (Toby) / jessen

MummyBeerest · 27/08/2013 01:37

Serena and Jude, they go well with Lucia.

PixelAteMyFace · 26/08/2013 23:38

Serena is my favourite name ever, and goes beautifully with Lucia.

Henry,

littlemog · 26/08/2013 23:22

I think it could be pronounced Loo-see-a if you Anglicise it but as it's Italian it should be loo-chee-a. Loo-chee-a sounds beautiful too. Really lovely name OP.

As a teacher doing the register I would pronounce this Loo-chee-a.

Not loo-sha surely?!

RegularVoltaire · 26/08/2013 23:17

I read it and pn it loo-sha in my head.

How do you pn it OP?

littlemog · 26/08/2013 23:13

In fact Annabella goes very well with Lucia so I hope you have a girl!

littlemog · 26/08/2013 23:13

Lucia can only be pronounced loo-chee-a and you'd be a bit dim to pronounce it loo-see-a!

I would go for Henry and Annabella.

Viviennemary · 26/08/2013 23:08

Anabelle and Henry.

RegularVoltaire · 26/08/2013 23:08

Lucia and Annabel or Phoebe

Lucia and Henry

Ilovewaleswhenitrains · 26/08/2013 23:01

Serena and Henry get my vote.

MamaTo3Boys · 26/08/2013 23:00

Annabelle and Elliot are lovely Smile

riskit4abiskit · 26/08/2013 22:59

I agree with bear

perplexedpirate · 26/08/2013 22:59

Phoebe and Henry.

MarianneBrandon · 26/08/2013 22:57

Phoebe and Henry

blondieminx · 26/08/2013 22:55

Henry is very popular. I like Elliott though.

Of your girls choices I like Serena. What about other Italian sounding names like Sara?

picnicbasketcase · 26/08/2013 22:54

Phoebe and Henry. But Sienna and Jude are also nice.

williaminajetfighter · 26/08/2013 22:50

Sienna and Elliot I like Henry but it is VV popular these days.
