Lucy / Lucie

[SpanielFace]

Not pregnant so this is purely speculative (and may all change!), but we're planning on ttc no. 2 soon, & I had a cuddle with a very new baby girl yesterday, so I'm feeling broody! (It's that new baby smell! )

DS is William Charles

No idea what we would call another DS, as William is the only name we ever had! But for a DD, I'm quite taken with Lucy (or maybe Lucie?).

I've never met a little Lucy - all the little girls I meet at toddler groups seem to be Evie/Ava/Isabelle/Sophie/Lily. I even know three little Matildas (a name we considered for DS). But when I look at the baby name charts, Lucy is in the top 10. Do people know many little Lucys (not that it matters to us really - William is hardly rare but it's the only name we could agree on!)

Also - I'm thinking Lucy Elizabeth Hope. What do you think?

My niece is called Luci (pronounced Lucy). I didn't really like it at first but now I do. I've since met two other spelt this way Luci's. (No idea if that grammar is correct).

I prefer Lucy to Lucie. I would assume that Lucie was a nn for Lucinda.

I know a few Lucys under 5 (NW England)

I think Lucy Elizabeth Hope is gorgeous. I want to use Lucy too and was thinking of having Lucy Elle but not sure if it sounds too short.

DD = Lucia

I like both Lucy and Lucie

My sister is Lucie. I think it's beautiful and she doesn't mind spelling it.

Nyla, I don't like Lucy Elle (Lucy L?) but perhaps Ellen?

My sister's little boy is called William and my best friend's little girl is called Lucy

Lucy is a lovely name - I don't like the Lucie version though.

I prefer Lucy Hope without the Elizabeth, but I'm a fan of simple, strong names rather than long fussy ones.

The Lucie spelling makes me think of the unfortunate Lucie Blackman.
