Lucy

[nsalat]

my friend is considering Lucy. With the resurgence of the Narnia series coming up i figured that i'd ask here for thoughts on the name.

Really really really dull. The name equivalent of painting all the walls in your house white

Lucy is beautiful

I love the name Lucy, a really lovely choice

Most wont remember I love Lucy

It's lovely, and was to be DS's name if he had been a she!

It just doesn't work for anyone over the age of 8.

It just doesn't work for anyone over the age of 8.

It's working quite well for my almost 18yo Lucy..

Just giving my opinion as asked. Sorry if you're offended by my view

@Scandinaviagirl

I'm a 41 year old Lucy. Works fine for me!

oh good god! The OP asked for my opinion. You might disagree with me but you need to not be so sensitive.
In my opinion I find the name too girly and childish. Didn't realise my opinion had such an effect on ppl

My 16 month old DD is Lucy! Not named after anyone, we just liked the name and it suits her.

@Scandinaviagirl

Well you escalated that quickly

Not offended just saying that I disagree. You know....adding my opinion!!

I love it. I do know a few of all ages though, including close friend’s DD so couldn’t use it. Probably for the best as there are 2 in DD’s room at nursery.

I find it a bit lispy and cutesy as a name but i like that it’s not over exposed

I know a lot of people like it but I really don't

Quite common and I can never say it without saying 'lastic' after it

I know I'm in the minority though 🤷‍♀️

Our 14 year old is Lucy. I work with a little Lucy at preschool. I think it’s timeless.

Oh no I don’t like Susan at all. It’s like the name equivalent of brown.

I know what people mean though, about Lucy being quite a youthful name. I know a solicitor called Lucy though, and it’s still lovely as a name for someone middle aged or older.

I agree with the PP who said it's dull. I think it's one of the plainest, most boring names going.

It's my name and I don't love it. It sounds better in some accents than others - where I grew up it wss "Loo-seh" instead of Loo-see".

It's my name! I'm 40 and also a solicitor. @EugenesAxe Wonder if it's me you know!
It's also my mums middle name, was my grandmothers name and is my daughter's middle name. So a name that spans 4 generations of my family.
I like it and I was never in a class with another one during my school years.
My only slight issue is that on the phone people often think I say Lisa but that might be my unclear diction.

Very pretty

Oh no I don’t like Susan at all. It’s like the name equivalent of brown.
this made me laugh out loud!
I disagree though, I think Susan is a great name and has decent diminutives.
I'd far rather be named Susan than Lucy. Lucy is surely a baby pink name.

"Lucy is surely a baby pink name"

The stupid view of femininity as weakness is why i hate the legacy of the 1970s far left.(and the associated Helen Reddy etc etc)

Love the name Lucy. When I was younger I wished it was my name!

Lovely name, would use it in its own right rather than as a nickname for Lucinda. I knew a Lucy at primary school. Unfortunately, her brother called her "Lucy Lastic” which put me off using it.
