Lacey is tacky. Brooke is much nicer.

Lacy is definitely too close to Lucy. If you really had no other names you liked, I'd at least spell it Lacey so it looks different but it still sounds too similar imo. As you've got Brooke as an (equal?) choice, I would definitely use that.

Love the name Brooke

Don't like Lacey and it's too much with Lucy x

Queenbumble · 03/06/2019 19:14

Please don’t hyphenate that’s even worse

daisypond · 03/06/2019 11:19

You cannot have Lacy if you have a Lucy.

Watersnail · 03/06/2019 11:09

Josie, Lexie, Nancy, Grace/Gracie, Darcy, Elsie, Maisie are still similar but not as close.

I hate to be so blunt when we’re talking about babies, but as a combo, Lucy and Lacy sound like stripper names. (This is coming from someone who wanted Mimi and Lulu for twins, and my best friend said they’re either strippers or poodles.)

Watersnail · 03/06/2019 11:01

Lacy is too similar to Lucy. It also reminds me of hankies, tablecloths and underwear.

Brooke would be a better choice IMO.

Stephanie01 · 03/06/2019 09:57

Cobgratulations. Lucy and Brooke are beautiful.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 03/06/2019 08:42

Brooke! Lacy is too close. Plus Brooke is nicer! Many Congratulations!!

Icklepup · 03/06/2019 08:08

Brooke

CloserIAm2Fine · 03/06/2019 07:58

Definitely too close! Which is a shame as I like Lacy although I’d personally spell it Lacey. But with a Lucy you really shouldn’t do it!

Chocolateandcarbs · 03/06/2019 07:40

I’m really sorry but Lucy and Lacy did make me smile a bit - too close imo, but it’s your baby! If you really love Lacy could you hyphenate it with something else? Lacy-Mae? Congratulations x.

Astronica · 03/06/2019 07:39

No Lacy is too close to Lucy. Brooke would be a good choice!

Penny4Thoughts · 03/06/2019 07:38

Wondering if you might like Celia? Similar sounds but in reverse

Penny4Thoughts · 03/06/2019 07:35

Lacy can be a nickname for Larissa

Canone · 03/06/2019 06:51

Brooke! Lucy and Lacy are waaayyy too close. Macy?

Congratulations on your little girl Flowers

SnowdropFox · 03/06/2019 06:42

Definitely Brooke. Lacy is just too close as you suggested.

Giraffeinabox · 03/06/2019 06:14

Lucy and lacy? Are the crime stoppers from the 70's?! No, defo go with Brooke. Congrats!

Whatareyoutalkingabout · 03/06/2019 05:51

You really can't. It's exactly the same name with just one letter different!

memaymamo · 03/06/2019 05:43

You can't have a Lucy and a Lacy!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 03/06/2019 05:40

Far too close. Brooke is a fab name.

desparate4sleep · 03/06/2019 05:30

Yes it's too close to Lucy. Go with Brooke much nicer name anyway.

Aquamarine1029 · 03/06/2019 05:29

Lacy Hendren and Brooke Hendren are both lovely. Personally, I prefer "stronger" names, so I would choose Brooke. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Mummysgirl45 · 03/06/2019 05:26

Will be Kay Hendren
