Lucky?

[ernjas]

Inspired by another thread today -
This is a name I like but a lot of people say that it's a dog name which I find completely understandable, but would anyone say it's usable?

I had a girl called Lucky in my year at school. My name is really similar so we were always getting mixed up.

No no. Makes me think of the name a sex worker was forced to take. Awful.

No, just no.

It’s a bit hubristic.

If your baby has four legs and barks then yes, otherwise No.

It’s definitely a dog name and a bad one at that

Well if I'd have been called Lucky.
I certainly wouldn't have lived up to my name. I've been a walking disaster from the minute I was born

I wouldn’t.

I’d use Felicity though, and that means lucky.

Being named Lucky would probably highlight all the times you were 'unlucky' and you wouldn't be living in irony whenever things went wrong.

Would be*

Awful for a child of either sex

Fine but unoriginal for a pet

Are you expecting a puppy? Or a kitten?

If not then don't do it.

Go for Lucy instead, and if you must use Lucky keep it as a nickname.

The following proper names could work with Lucky as a nickname.

Luke
Lucas
Luc
Lachlan

Lucky Luc was a French cartoon. I really wouldn't give a baby Lucky as a full name but it's a great nickname. I might just have a Lucky.

Santangelo?

I actually love it but I think as a pp said it would be nicer as a nickname

Don't be daft.

I taught a Lucky. Not a fan myself but she suited it.

Good God no, it’s not a name.
