Lucy?

[Lironlavie1]

Hi, what do you think about Lucy for a girl?
Too boring? Common? Chavvy? 😬🤔🙊
Also, would you go with Lucy or Elizabeth?
And lastly, what cool middle name would you pick for them?
Thank you so much!!

It's a lovely name and I'd choose it over Elizabeth. Don't know any baby Lucys - the youngest I know is 10.

Lucy Kate
Lucy Eliza
Lucy Jasmine
Lucy Alice

I really like Lucy - and it has fizzled out in popularity recently.
Definitely prefer it to Elizabeth

I like Lucy Jade

I think it is a bit common. Elizabeth is a nice name.

I love the name Lucy but am put off by everyone telling me it’s boring. I am unaware of any specific connotations

I don't think it's chavvy.... I think it's fairly universal, so no particularly strong associations at all.

It is a bit boring at worst, but I really don't think that's such a bad thing. People aren't boring because they have boring names.

I have an DD with an Elizabeth/Lucy type name (Emma) and she is full of personality. Couldn't get less boring and I really don't think that's my bias speaking!

I think it can be nice NOT to use a really out there name and let the child make it their own.

That said my other DC has a more unusual name, but that is due to my heritage. We loved the name and it's common where I'm from, but less so here.

I prefer Lucy to Elizabeth, but I love some shortenings of Elizabeth, so that's a tough one!

Thank you! That’s really helpful. I actually agree with letting the child “make” the name rather then other way around.
I’m also a big fan of classic strong names....
thanks for all your comments xx

I love it, and I have a Lucy.

Lucy Jane, Lucy Jade, Lucy Rebecca, Lucy Alice/Alicia, Lucy Charlotte?

Great name.

Lucy Jane is cool.

Great name. I have a 5 year old with Elizabeth as a middle name. She has a school friend called Lucy and I have a neighbour with a 1 year old who's also a Lucy. Jennifer, Elizabeth, Holly, Emily are also lovely strong names.

My youngest daughter is Lucy Victoria

I've always thought it a beautiful name

I have a Lucy and love the name. It's not common at all and there's only one other in quite a large first school.

Definitely not chavvy. Fairly popular, but not crazily so. I don't think it will date. Nice name.

There's 3 Lucy's in my dd's ballet class. Her class is in a very affluent area (most parents are minted, I'm not.)

I'd go out there with the middle name:-

Lucy Honeysuckle
Lucy Francine
Lucy Raffaella

Our daughter is called Lucie Karina x

I know 2 Lucy's and a Lucie all 3 are stroppy princesses. I know two Elizabeth's who are both very kind and would do anything for anyone but this could be entirely random ' '

My phone has apparently lost all control of itself when it comes to apostrophes sorry

Not common or ”chavvy” but to me a bit drippy.
Elizabeth is great, with the best nicknames/ shortenings. I know a very lovely Betsy.

Thank you so much everyone that’s really helps!
Now I’m thinking middle names... (last name is Harpin..)
Lucy India (- her dad and I meet there)
Lucy Elizabeth
Lucy Love
Lucy Alice
Lucy Alma
Which one do you think will go best?
I like the idea of something a bit more cool for second name...
thanks a lot!!

I have an 8yr old Lucy. It was my girls name since I was a little girl, always loved it.

Mine is called Lucy Albertine.

One of your suggestions is my daughters exact name 😂 - good taste!

I love Lucy. ❤ hence the reason I gave my eldest that name. It's a nice normalll name .

I really like both Lucy & Elizabeth

They are both timeless classics IMO

Definitely not chavvy!

Lucy Luna for something a bit different.

I have a teenage Lucy. Lovely name

Definitely not chavy! But I do find it a bit wet and boring to be honest that's just my opinion
