Sorry for being a bit thick, but I have recently seen the name Lucia which is a name I am not familiar with. How would you pronounce it?

It is like 'Lucy+ah' (with stress on the 'Lu'), or 'Loo+sha' or 'Loo+sear' (with stress on the 'se') ?

I've come across it as

LOOSH-ah

and as

Lu-CHEE-ah

Two ways I think the Italian is Loo-CHEE-ah
Spanish is Loo-sha

The Lucia I knowis the former.

I would pronounce it 'Loo-shi-a' but I don't know if that's correct or not!

I've heard it pronounced either as Loo-sha or Loo-chia or Lucy-ah... think it's up to you really!

I would say Looshia
