Lucy Lee? Will she hate us?

DH loves the sound of it, I think it borders on cruel.

What do you think?

Do you like the alliteration?

Can you think of any names (boys and girls) where the alliteration would work with our surname?

To me it sounds too short and think you would be better with a longer first name eg louisa Lee.
There is Lucy Lui (sp) and she has done ok for herself though.

I know a Lucy Lee. Never thought anything of it tbh.

avaj · 07/04/2010 21:09

I know a 9 year old Lucy Lee.
Have never thought anything of it, and I don't think she has either.
I think it sounds fine.

I think it sounds quite nice (not porny) but I'd consider maybe longer names also with your shorter surname?

It made me think of Linda Lee which was Supergirl's alter-ego name in the movie!

ChynaDoll2006 · 07/04/2010 20:51

Laeticia or Letitia or however you want to spell it...

Louisa

Lavender

Your DH loves it - he's not a huge fan of Lucy Liu, by any chance?

Can any of you think pf another name beginning with L that you think sounds ok with our surname?

I think dh likes the alliteration

I love it, think it sounds fab.

sockonmyhead · 07/04/2010 17:55

Just wanted to add, I really don't think this name is porny or page three, it makes me think of lois lane or peter parker, rather than anything seedy, she could be a super hero!

foureleven · 07/04/2010 17:50

Umm is it a bit 'porny'??? You did ask...

I would just think of something you both like and not ask any opinons. What ever you announce your baby's name to be, everyone will love it because they'll love baby. No one will look at baby lucy lee and think... hmm thats a bit porny!

sockonmyhead · 07/04/2010 17:47

I am a triple L and my daughter has three L names too (she's a Lucy). I rather liked my triple L growing up, there were loads of girls with my first name so it made be feel a bit special! Don't remember ever being teased about my name, everything else, but not my name

PanicMode · 07/04/2010 17:31

The immediate rhyme that came into my head was "Lucy Lee is very twee"....I personally wouldn't but then Lucy isn't a favourite of mine anyway - not that helpful - sorry!!

pixiestix · 07/04/2010 16:45

I have a friend called Lucy Lee and I have never once heard anyone make a bad comment about her name. And she is gorgeous - which is obviously very relevant and helpful to you!!

slug · 07/04/2010 15:41

It sounds like a porn name. Sorry. The combination of my first name and DH's surname is scarily similar to that. It's one of the reasons I give for not using his surname.

GoldenSnitch · 07/04/2010 14:24

Probably best to avoid Emma too. She'll get "...and your surname??" every time she tells people her name.

And not Sara!!

piscesmoon · 07/04/2010 14:18

Susannah sounds nice. I think that a longer name works better.

GoldenSnitch · 07/04/2010 14:18

My married surname begins with a L. L's are hard I found.

My maiden name was alliterated btw. I couldn't wait to get married and change it!!

Fimbow · 07/04/2010 14:15

You need something like Susannah

Susannah Lee works will and you could shorten it to Suzy

Marne · 07/04/2010 14:14

me too

Lee is a great surname BTW , nothing really goes with our surname, dd2's name would go nicely with Lee.

piscesmoon · 07/04/2010 14:11

It just shows that I should read properly!

Marne · 07/04/2010 14:10

Sorry , maybe forget Lucy altogether then. I think if you have a short surname then maybe a longer first name would be good?

piscesmoon · 07/04/2010 14:10

Sorry
Keep off Lucy then!

Fimbow · 07/04/2010 14:09

Pisces - Lee is the surname!

piscesmoon · 07/04/2010 14:08

Lucy is lovely, but leave off the Lee or she will hate you! (You can use Lucy Lee as a nickname-until she is old enough to ask you to stop).

GoldenSnitch · 07/04/2010 14:06

Marne, Lee is their Surname not a middle name.

I think changing it by Deed poll for the whole family might be a little drastic!
