Help me decide! Older sister is Clara. I love both names.

Emily

Lucy Letby has ruined Lucy for me unfortunately.

So I'd choose Emily

I prefer Lucy, out of the two, but think Emily goes better with Clara in terms of flow and style.

Personally I prefer Emma to Emily, if that's an option? I've always found Emily a bit dull, personally, whereas Emma feels a bit more feisty. Clearly I'm in a minority though, as Emily is so popular.

Both are lovely, but I voted for Lucy as I have one. We never shorten to Luce.

Emily for me. A timeless classic and I prefer the shortenings of Emily over Lucy.

Both lovely names so you can't go wrong!

I slightly prefer Emily as like Em over Luce xx

Pleasant enough but to me they're both a bit predictable compared to Clara. i'd try to have two less common names.

Emily

Lucy is such a lovely name. Emily is nice too, but I prefer Lucy. You can't go wrong with either really, and both go nicely with Clara.

Sorry I love both. That’s a toughie.

TheBelleOfBelfastCity · 15/10/2024 00:53

Emily all the way for me. Lucy just seems a bit bland - probably as there are so many of them!

I prefer Lucy; it feels more timeless.
