Girls name to 'go' with Lucy

33 replies

EekThreek · 03/11/2017 07:15

Don't know what DC3 is yet, but if it's a girl we like the middle name Liusaidh (Lucy).

I'm just not sure what first names would flow with it! Plus, we're struggling to find girls names we both like in the first place.

So far the only two we vaguely agree on are Nina and Heidi.

I'm not sure Heidi Liusaidh sounds right, but I also don't want to pin everything on Nina in case it doesn't suit her.

What else could we consider?

Erin Liusaidh was born last week, and her name suits her perfectly 😍
Thanks for all your input!

Erin sounds lovely and fits the gaelic theme. Heidi sounds harsh to me. Nina is OK but not as nice as Erin

I think Erin is perfect. Nina is nice too and, although I agree Heidi doesn't 'go' with Lucy I'm not sure that really matters because nobody ever really says the two names together in a flowy kind of way. If her full names needs to be announced (for ceremonies and stuff) you would just put a small pause between Heidi and Lucy - Heidi, Lucy, Smith rather than Heidilucy Smith iyswim. So, I don't think you need to use Marcella regardless of the first name.

Meredith is beautiful, and not my normal style.

I love that it could be shortened to Merry, which would balance the gloom behind her namesake and birth month (BIL died just before his birthday last year).

Lovely idea @stevensupersquirrel, thank you.

Meredith (great lord).... keeps the theme (and it's a wonderful name)

Chaffinch4 · 03/11/2017 09:27

Erica is lovely!

Salmonpinkcords · 03/11/2017 09:26

I love the meaning behind Liusaidh - and it goes beautifully with Erin

Omg, DH loves Erin. That's the first time he's ever 'loved' a name in advance, and it's only taken to our third child to get there! 😂

The other name we like that means warrior is Marcella, but it's not as strong a link.

So if it's a girl it will be either

Erin Liusaidh S...
Nina Liusaidh S...
Heidi Marcella S...

Just boys to agree on now 😩

It's not creative, it's a Gaelic name meaning Warrior. Lucy doesn't mean the same thing, else I'd choose that spelling.

I'm due on BIL's birthday, a year after he passed. His name doesn't have a female equivalent, so we've looked for names that mean the same thing as his name to honour him.

I do like Erin, and Emma. Evelyn is pretty, but a bit hit and miss with pronunciation, which with our unusual surname and this middle name would just add a layer of complexity we could avoid.
