In order of preference...
Georgia
Lucy
Darcey
Lucia

I really love Georgia. Lucy is nice. Darcey and Lucia are ok. I struggle with Lucia and the potential pronunciation problems.

Darcey is lovely

MrsBungle · 25/08/2014 20:39

Are you pronouncing Lucia is Loosia or Lucheer?

Caitmous · 25/08/2014 20:39

I Love Lucy Wink

(I actually do)

turdfairynomore · 25/08/2014 20:42

Darcey will forever be "D'bumsy" in this house. I blame DD!!!

temporaryusername · 25/08/2014 20:42

I would say-

Lucy
Lucia
Darcy
Georgia

I don't like Darcy or Georgia though.

Sallyanneb · 25/08/2014 20:42

We would pronounce it Loo-see-a, am aware that there would be pronounciation issues tho ;)

Like them all except Darcy.

PicardyThird · 25/08/2014 20:46

Lucy and Lucia are lovely. Georgia is OK, wouldn't be my preference. Darc(e)y is awful (sorry). There are so many beautiful girls' names out there, why choose that one? Plus it will date, badly.

Bowlersarm · 25/08/2014 20:49

Lucy
Georgia
Darcey
Lucia

Ham69 · 25/08/2014 20:54

Sallyanneb · 25/08/2014 21:00

Loving the feedback, think we may have to ditch Darcey

I like Lucy a lot, but I'm not keen on any of the others.

Lucia will cause confusion with pronunciation.
Darcey/Darcy will date, and to me is just not an attractive name.
I don't have anything in particular against Georgia, I just much prefer Georgina.

RainbowB7 · 25/08/2014 21:01

Lucy by miles. Excellent name.

magicalmrmistofelees · 25/08/2014 21:08

Love Georgia and Lucy Smile

Babyleopard23 · 25/08/2014 21:40

Lucia is a really pretty name! I have a good friend with this name and no one has ever found it confusing or difficult.

They are all nice names but Darcey and Georgia are probably my least favourite!

LucyBabs · 25/08/2014 21:43

Lucy obviously Wink
Then Lucia. Its such a pretty but strong name.

Darcey/Darcy I just don't "get" it and how it has become popular sorry Blush

Sophronia · 25/08/2014 23:34

Lucia is the nicest, followed by Georgia. Lucy is ok but I don't like Darcey at all.

ralinax294 · 26/08/2014 00:07

Lucy - Lovely.
Lucia - Okay but prefer Lucy, least favourite of these.
Georgia - Love it, favourite of these.
Darcey - Love it, but prefer the spelling Darcy.

Sallyanneb · 26/08/2014 08:37

Thanks for the opinions, very helpful. Liking Lucia LOO-SEE-A best, despite issues with pronouncing it maybe. Can use Lucy as nickname. Darcey too risky as not tried and tested for long enough and chance of becoming common??
Like Georgia but not 'clicking'.

Many thanks
