LUCY!?

[Sorayray]

I rarely hear this name which surprises me because it's such a clean, beautiful and utterly timeless girls name!! Why don't more people use it?

We want a really pretty but classic name and Lucy/Lucie is at the top of my list (Annabelle, Elena and Anna close runners up)

What do you think of Lucy?

It’s my name and I couldn’t agree more - surprises me how few Lucys I come across! I love it.

@brassica I was thinking just this! It's gorgeous, classic, not too unusual and still quite uncommon.

I like Lucy. It’s pretty and timeless. My dd is expecting a little girl within the next couple of weeks. I have suggested Lucy, Emily and Freya.

I really like it too. My sister and step-mother are both called Lucy, and my deceased maternal grandmother was also Lucy. I don't know if any children called Lucy though.

It’s lovely and because there aren’t many these days, she won’t be a in class full of them (like the Lucys of the 80s!).

Thanks ladies, I'm excited to use it!

Always loved Lucy. Would have been top of my list for a girl. And Ben for a boy.

Lovely name, under used IMHO.

It is a really cute name.

It's sweet but its not THAT great. I feel like it's REALLY loved on MN though. If I met someone who had a baby Lucy I'd think it was nice but not really be blown away/give it much thought. Actually, that's it: it's a name of people who don't want too much fuss about their baby's name. I suppose I like that about it.

@Poorolddaddypig Yes I agree, I think that's one of the reasons I do like it, it's quite understated.

That’s quite disparaging, really, daddypig?
Not everyone wants a yooneek name that nobody can pronounce or spell (and is really more suited to a product than a child).
You make it sound like beautiful, classic names are for those who just can’t be bothered, which is clearly ridiculous.

Beautiful, timeless name

I LOVE it!

I don't think its disparaging, my DD is Lucy and daddypig is right in that I really didn't want a fussy name. DS has a similarly simple name. Plenty of thought was put into naming her and I love the name, it's pretty but not frilly, not too fashionable and therefore hopefully won't date (I have a very 80s name!) and she's the only one in her year.

Actually yes! I've never thought of it, but it is in the timeless classic category isn't it? But not half as popular as Elizabeth or Catherine. I also adore the name Mary.

I’m always amazed theres not more Lucy’s too to be honest. Have thought this many times (how sad am I - I’m a name geek though). How is it not more popular, it’s really lovely and classic- definitely on my list. I also love Anna by the way Op.
I’m always shocked there aren’t more boys called Barnaby too. I know it’s a completely different style of name but I also find it very underused.

Meant to tag you OP @Sorayray

I’m jealous you’re using it OP!

I have a Lucy. She's awesome, strong, feisty and kind.
I'm delighted with her and her name. Both beautiful in every way.

A really lovely name! It’s very popular in my kid’s school north of the border.

I LOVE it... so classic and beautiful

Yep great name!!

It was pretty popular in the 80s which meant I was one of 3 in my class and I found that really annoying, but it’s not common now so shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t know any baby Lucy’s.

It’s easy to pronounce and spell, works in lots of different languages, has a bright happy feel to it and I’ve always liked the meaning (light).

Go for it!!

Lovely name, timeless. Go for it.
My neighbours' granddaughter born a couple of years ago is called Lucy and it really suits her.

My parents called me Lucy and I can't stand it. I started using my middle name in my teens.
