Thank you. I'm so glad people don't think it's too wet. I love the name Lucy, names all my dolls it as a child

Yes the name Lucy is so underused. I love it

Futurenostalgia · 04/05/2020 14:41

It’s nice enough. I prefer Lucy to Eleanor.

Mischance · 04/05/2020 14:39

Lovely. Your child will thank you for nice normal names.

chunkyrun · 04/05/2020 14:31

Pretty vanilla

Really lovely. Lucy's quite uncommon in this generation, is simple, international, has a lovely meaning. Eleanor is one of my favourite names. They go very well together.

Not understanding all the 'boring' and 'safe' responses Hmm I'd prefer to give my child a name she'll thank me for later rather than a 'unique' one she won't, tbh.

Thank you for all your opinions so far. The babies siblings all have similar kind of names. Normal but not too common if that makes sense.
I've always loved the name Lucy and you don't hear it very often around my area.

Lovely

MikeUniformMike · 04/05/2020 13:22

Lovely. How does Lucy go with the surname?

Canyoutellilikrchocolate · 04/05/2020 11:30

I like it.

There’s nothing wrong with a “safe” choice.

ofwarren · 04/05/2020 11:22

It's a nice enough name. It's very safe but there is nothing wrong with that.

SpendAPennyPenny · 04/05/2020 11:13

I love Eleanor, especially that spelling of it.

Lucy Eleanor to me sounds elegant and lovely.

babynamelover · 04/05/2020 11:09

It's okay, doesn't really excite me. I think Lucy could sparkle with a different middle 😊.

CMMum88 · 04/05/2020 10:41

Its lovely

Spirali · 04/05/2020 10:39

Fine. Not really worth asking about as it’s pretty safe.

Victoria6386 · 04/05/2020 10:27

I actually really like it

zscaler · 04/05/2020 10:24

I think it’s very pretty, timeless, something that would serve any girl well.

MaMaMyCorona · 04/05/2020 09:51

Love Lucy but not keen on Eleanor

sibbys · 04/05/2020 09:48

Nice and simple. You can't hate it

DoctorBambino · 04/05/2020 09:44

I like Lucy but not with Eleanor.. but I dont think I would like anything with Eleanor

peperethecat · 04/05/2020 09:06

It's a nice name.

Whatsyourflava · 04/05/2020 07:38

Such a beautiful name - perfect

DramaAlpaca · 04/05/2020 04:07

It's gorgeous, good choice.

LightDrizzle · 04/05/2020 03:12

I think Lucy is lovely and has been for the last 40 years in a low key way.

I also like Eleanor but I don’t think it flows well after Lucy. However as they will hardly ever be uttered together, if you like it, go with it.
The Lucy I know is a Lucy Mary, I only know that from her name tapes at boarding school!
