LUCY!!!.........except

[EmeraldRuby]

Hi.

I am pregnant with our (definitely) last child. We have 2 DS already. We've found out that we're having DS number 3😂. I was completely adamant this one felt different and have been very excited to use my favourite girls name. Lost many bets. Alas.

Lucy is youthful, sweet and elegant.
It means light.
It has both vintage and modern appeal.
It's timeless.

It's not a name suited to a boy, though.

My Q to you is what is the boys equivalent of such a classic yet modern and fresh sounding name? (We have a Jack and Tom). DH likes Finn.

Help! Help! Help!

The boy version of Lucy is Lucius (Malfoy!)

Frederick.
Laurence

Tom 😊 Not short for Thomas. Just Tom.

In the film Underworld Lucian is pronounced both lu - cee - an and Lu - shan by different characters. I liked that as it showed the differences in the characters’ backgrounds as, of course, vampires and werewolves live a long time and are well travelled.

Henry (Harry) or Edward

Ellis.

Harry or Max

Liden

Ah Lucy is a great name! And goes so well with Tom and Jack (my brother is a Tom, what a classic combo!).

Tom, Jack and....
Henry?
Leo?
Alex?
Will?
Ben?
Eddie?

Chester.

Benjamin
Daniel
Matthew
Jacob
Samuel
Thomas
Isaac

Adam
Sebastian
Peter

Joshua

I'm sure Lucca or Lucas means light too.

Lowen is Cornish. It means joyful.
Xavier means bright.

Luke would be good.

Finn is also quite nice, I know a nice wee boy called Finn

Luca of course. Lucia is also nice, and you're right, Lucy is lovely

Not Lucian.

Some people (most Americans?) would pronounce it Looshan and that sounds horrible.

I would pronounce it Looshan and I’m English. I taught a Lucian and that was definitely how it was pronounced.

If you like Lucy and want something that sounds similar, I like Luca and Luke. If you don’t want that then I like Finn. I think it needs to be quite a short name personally as your other boys have short names.

Luke or Sam or Toby

‘Jude’ comes to mind.

The one I know is pronounced LOO-see-un.. literally like Lucy with an -uhn sound on the end.

Lucas yes, Luca no.
Luca is too trendy.
Luke, Lucian?

Luca for me is a Milo kinda name.

Stick with Lucy - it'll make him resilient.

🤣

I like Jack, Tom & Finn

Little bugger tricking you like that though x

I wouldn't go with Lucian etc

At some stage someone will say something about you loving Lucy & on top of not being the girl you were 'expecting' it won't be good.

Maybe you'll have number 4 😉or a dog. Lucy us a great name for a dog.
