We were set on Lucia (loo-see-ya) for ages but I had gone off it a bit lately feeling like it's overly girly bit possibly swinging back to it now, dh still loves it though.

I like Thea which dh likes but he prefers Isla or Erin neither of which I love but are ok. So what do you think, Lucia, Thea, Isla or Erin?

I prefer the Loo-chi-ah pronunciation personally, I think it sounds more a name.

Thea is lovely, as is Isla.

Not a fan of Erin.

JadeJ123 · 05/10/2014 12:27

I love Isla & thea

Lucia or Erin.

Every other girl seems to be Isla which is pretty but they're very likely to be 'Isla dilysmoon' because of it which would put me off.

In order, I like Thea, Isla, Erin then Lucia. Also like Iona, which is similar.

CaptainAnkles · 05/10/2014 12:34

Erin or Lucia

kaymondo · 05/10/2014 12:38

Isla is lovely but v v popular round these parts which would put me off.

I love Thea!

Lucia is okay but a bit girly for me. I can take or leave Erin.

CrispyFern · 05/10/2014 12:41

Isla too popular for me. I like Thea best but they're all ok.

I really like Thea - am meeting a lot of little Erin's and Isla's at the moment so nice to hear something different! Lucia is fine but think you might have issues with people assuming the loo-chi-ah pronunciation..

Gondor Thea. Not that common, feminine but robust.

moxon · 05/10/2014 14:11

Gondor??? Wtf sort of autocorrect was that????? Should've been 'go for Thea'. But hey, if Gondor takes your fancy...?

Itsfab · 05/10/2014 15:47

Isla and Erin are very nice.

I think Lu-see-ya will spend her whole life pronouncing her name for everyone who will call her loo-che-a

PolyesterBride · 05/10/2014 15:53

Thea first, Erin next, Isla third, Lucia last. What about Lucy?

RabbitSaysWoof · 05/10/2014 20:24

Lu-chi-ah is beautiful.
I also love Erin.

Thea and Isla are on my list. Really like Lucia and Erin too though.

I'd say wait for it. I might be wrong, since you haven't actually said much, but it still sounds to me like Lucia is in the running. Maybe discuss Thea, Isla and Erin with OH and go into labour thinking 'either Lucia or ???'
