I thought we had narrowed it down to just four names, but my husband doesn't really want to let go of Lucy.
I do like it, but think it is a bit overdone and the bad publicity the name got last year is still on my mind, even though I know there are lots of other associations.
For some reason I like Lucie a lot better and could choose it more easily than Lucy. Is it a bad idea because it will cause confusion or is it bearable to say "Lucie, ends in "ie"" every time?
I guess we'd have a similar problem with Keira anyway, which is also on our list. My guess is that with Keira people are expecting one of three/four spellings, though (Keira, Kiera, Ciara, Kira) whereas with Lucy they will expect Lucy and not Lucie.
Does anyone have a popular name that is usually spelled one way with a slightly different spelling (e.g. Hollie instead of Holly, Elinor instead of Eleanor, Elly instead of Ellie)? Was it annoying or not a big problem?
The other ones are Ruby, Rosalind, Keira, Annabel and my favorite would be Ruby Rosalind at the moment. My husband's are Keira Rose and Lucy Rosalind.
