Middle name for Lucy

Any suggestions for a middle name for our winning girls name (so far) - Lucy? Surname starts with a D so want to avoid spelling a word with initials.
Thanks

Lucy Alice was my first thought before i finished reading the post that you don't want it to spell a word

CatherineCawood · 14/11/2019 22:27

Lucy Alexandra

Don't avoid LSD, I married Into it, it's not that bad 😁

Both my sister and mine initials spelt out a word (different words) and no-one ever commented on it. I think for innocuous words such as LAD or LED you would be fine.

I would be more cautious if the initials were STD, PMT, SEX etc

Maybe I'm being a bit fussy, I may need to think again.
Some lovely suggestions thank you.

Jane is my middle name so could consider as a name to hand down.

What about Lucy Marianne?

For some reason I like a one syllable middle name after Lucy, which is a lovely name by the way!

Lucy Alice is lovely, I supposed LAD isn't too bad a word, I'm just not sure if it would lead to taunts at school. I also love Eliza as a middle name but that's LED.

I do like a middle name and we all have them in the family.

Nevermind Eden, starts with a vowel. What about Faye?

RolytheRhino · 14/11/2019 22:06

Fair enough. I like a long middle name when you've got a short first and last name. I think they can end up too short otherwise.

Lucy Caroline Dill (for example) sounds quite nice to my ear, even better with a two syllable surname. Up to you though, obviously.

Jane? Grace? Rose? Eden?

Youngatheart00 · 14/11/2019 22:04

My ex's eldest was Lucy Eleanor.

Oh that's a shame, I think Lucy Alice is lovely but those initials would spell a word!

Thanks, it is longer than both the first and last names so I'm not sure the flow works.
