Lucinda June?

[ChocolateIsAFoodGroup]

Think this might be 'it' for us... .Thoughts?

(We have a Jack and a Margot Elizabeth - Lucinda is so far the only name we can agree on - sigh - and June is my dead grandmother's name, which we always agreed we'd use, and would use even if the entire Mumsnet chorus rose up against us.... )

Would your Lucinda be a Lucy, or Cindy?

Lulu as a baby (plus probably a million other things!) and potentially Lucy as an adult. That said, I'm a Victoria and I'm actually always a Victoria, so maybe she will be a Lucinda as an adult? (She may have her own thoughts on this.....)

Love Lucinda, such a pretty underused name, any Lucinda I have known(3 in total) have been rather posh but so so lovely. I love June too. Lucinda June is a beautiful, unexpected combination & both classic unusual standalone names too. Go for it!

I think it's quite nice, I like names with options! Though the only Lucindas or Lucilles I know are middle-aged TBH.

vino we're sort-of posh But live in America, so it won't count Thanks for the kudos re liking the name! (Shall show your lovely comments to DH tonight).

spring hear you on being slightly middle-aged - but seeing as our other daughter is already old (prob lots of Margots in nursing homes, no?) I think we might live with that.....

Makes me think of the mice in Beatrix potters book

Oh, also, Lucinda means 'bearer of light' which I think is just so perfect and wonderful (and shall purposefully obliterate any teenage moments...... )

I really like it. Lovely & under-used. Like Lulu as an nn too.

Really lovely.

I know an 18 year old Lucinda who has always been Lulu. She is Lucinda Jane

Not keen on Lucinda but I like Lucy, and June is lovely.

Elizabeth can be LuLu and has a lot more options for shortening (also goes well with Victoria)

Chocolate - I am also thinking of naming my DD Lucinda, and I have the same first name as you!

Lulu is very sweet. For later, I was thinking of Lucie rather than Lucy, given it's the same first four letters as the formal name. What are your thoughts on Lucie v Lucy?

Mama DD1 has Elizabeth as her middle name (it's my mum's name! and yes, I agree it goes v. well with Victoria!)

SweetPea hurrah! Let's go for it together N.B> My first daughter is Margot; you are welcome to steal that, too, if you like - or keep for your second DD? (hatching plan for secret hordes of British people with uncannily similar names.....)

Prefer Lucie to Lucy - no idea why, irrational, as are most things in the naming world! - secretly really just prefer Lulu, but I'm sure she'll have her own ideas......

My pfb is Lucinda (Lucy) so you have my wholehearted approval :-)

OOoh, love Margot too! x

I love it. I love the sound of it, I love the different nn variations, I love the meaning, I love the significance of the middle name and I love it with your other two children's names.

There Let no one say I'm not glowing with positivity when someone comes up with a corker of a name

Lucinda is lovely.

Awww, thank you badger! Am getting all blubby the thought that we might finally have chosen the name! And am so appreciative of all the nice things you (and everyone else!) has said. It shouldn't matter, but somehow it does seem to that people think the name you've chosen isn't too god-awful!

Lucinda is definately posh. Lucie is sweet, and differentiates from the 5000 other lucys born every year.

Gorgeous!
