Trying to make a final decision on babys name, what are your thoughts on Lucy or Isabel?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Thanks for all your feedback, we've gone for Lucy, it's slightly more popular here in Northern Ireland, no.24 in the top baby names of 2022 but definitely suits her and we love it now 😊

Lucy. Underused and beautiful

Pemba · 31/03/2023 04:12

They are both great classic names. I do prefer Isabel really out of the two, but it has been very popular the last few years, she wouldn't be the only one in school, if that bothers you.

Have you considered Lucia or Annabel? Slightly more unusual.

Our shortlist was Lucy, Grace, Isabella (Izzy) and Annie.

We went for Lucy.

Isabella was back on our shortlist for DC2 as well, but DC2 was a boy.

Luredbyapomegranate · 27/03/2023 21:55

Isabel.

Lucy is too twee for me.

PedroPascal · 27/03/2023 13:17

Oh both lovely choices! At a push I'd go Lucy, but I have a real soft spot for Isabella

Lucy

Way too many Isabels, Isabelles, Isobels, Isabellas doing the rounds these days. People need to find a new name!

zarzarzoom · 27/03/2023 13:13

Isabel. Lucy is very common.

shoopshoopdedoo · 27/03/2023 13:13

Lucy

Theoldwoman · 27/03/2023 05:45

Prefer Lucille over Lucy.

I am an Isobel which I love.

HAF1119 · 27/03/2023 05:29

Lucy or Lucie

Carsarelife · 26/03/2023 20:41

Isobel

fairycupcakes · 26/03/2023 20:32

Lucy but prefer the Lucie spelling

Suzi888 · 26/03/2023 20:30

Like both, prefer Isabel.

KirstenBlest · 26/03/2023 20:09

Lucy.
Isobella and Isobelle look wrong. lots of Isabels, Isabelles and Isabellas.
There is the Lucie spelling but it's far less used than Lucy.

ew1990 · 26/03/2023 20:03

TragicTess · 26/03/2023 16:26

FatGirlSwim · 26/03/2023 19:55
