Thinking about L names now- I also love Lucile/Lucille!
Just to throw another variation into the mix Smile

Yy to Lucile fabulous name :)

Lucy.

Lucy

The only Lucie I know of in rl has a French mum.

I think you have very good reasons for going with Lucie. Go for it!

WeOnlyPlannedTheFirst · 27/05/2013 13:47

We were set on Lucie (Francophiles) then wimped out and went with Lucy on basis she'd always be spelling it.
I still think Lucie looks prettier plus I'm always having to spell my name and it's actually no big deal.

Lucy, but if you want to spell it Lucie then go for it!

Gooseysgirl · 27/05/2013 20:46

Lucie, beautiful name

AllegraLilac · 27/05/2013 21:53

I've read Lucy/Lucie that many times its starting not to seem like a name at all!

Go with your gut instinct OP.

MsTimTam · 27/05/2013 21:54

I have a Lucy and when she was a newborn a few people asked me which way we were spelling it, I think if you love Lucie definitely go for it.

I have a Lucy but wanted to spell it Lucie. Was persuaded that she would spend her life spelling it, which given our surname would be a pain.

The name means 'light'. Regardless of how it is spelt, it is a lovely name.

forgetmenots · 27/05/2013 23:30

Lucie. Most people have to spell their names! :)

TheOriginalSteamingNit · 27/05/2013 23:33

Lucy.

Lucie, though Lucy is lovely too.

How is an 'ie' ending seen as odd? You can't move here without falling over a Katie, Gracie or Evie.

Joolzbee · 29/05/2013 13:20

I have a 'Lucie' and never questioned it. There are far more around than I initially thought. Yes, people do by default spell it with a -y ending but often they only need to be politely corrected once! Do what suits you - personally, I love the look of the -ie ending and always saw the -y diminutive as a tad boring. But, well, that's just my opinion!

Lucie is much more chic than Lucy. Think Countess rather than chambermaid Wink

Lucy - more timeless and classic!
