Lucinda

[Ellen35]

Does Lucinda match brother William?
I would like to use Lucy but DH won't.

It matches well.

It goes very well.

Yes, I think they match well .

Thank you. And what do you think of the name?

I really like it. I know two in their 30s, one goes by her full name and the other by Luci.

Not keen, sorry - I feel like it has a bit of an 80s vibe. Lucy is a beautiful name - it's a classic. There's also Lucille or Lucia.

Beautiful and classic.

Love it. A really elegant name and she may well be shortened to Luci so you’ll get your wish too

I’ve known one - she’ll be mid-30s now. She was always known as Lucinda, never Lucy. I like the name but would probably end up shortening it to Lucy

I quite like it (although my favorite of the "loo/lu" names for girls is Louisa). I personally prefer the sound of it over Lucy, which although very classic is fairly popular and sounds a bit cute/sweet to me. You don't hear of many Lucinda's so it would be quite refreshing, and it works well with William. Just don't let anyone shorten it to Cindy (much too dated!).

Yes, matches perfectly. Lovely name and you can still call her Lucy for short.

Thanks for the replies. Half brother is called Stanley which i don't think matches as well as a sibset?

Lucinda william Stanley all good I think. Hope she doesn't end up being called Cindy though.

I know a Lucinda, who flits between being known by her full name, and Lucy. Every time I refer to her by her full name, I feel a bit excited - I enjoy saying it. It’s unusual, but established. Feels like it comes from another era. Very nice.

For me, it’s irrelevant whether it “goes” with a sibling’s name.

Yes, they go. I really like it as a name. Also, you have two potential nicknames which are cute: Lucy and Cindy. It was one of my favourites but sadly my partner vetoed any of the names which could have the nickname Lucy.

I know a young adult who is always Lucinda, never Lucy. Nice name.

I don’t think it matters at all whether sibling names ‘match’ personally. They are individuals.

My names Lucinda. I never get called Lucy but get called Cin for short. Honestly I like having a different name but hate introducing myself as feels like a mouthful and awkard to say but that's just me.

Love Lucy, not keen on Lucinda at all. Lucy is pretty and classic. Lucinda is pretentious and not pretty

I think it goes well with William and Stanley! It's not really my taste but it's definitely not a bad name. I personally prefer Lucia or Luciana but I don't think they'd match as well.

I know a Lucinda who goes by Lulu. I'm not a Lulu or Cindy fan (or Lucy either, very wet imo) so would avoid it myself - nothing wrong with those nicknames per se but don't use it if you don't like the associated nicknames.

I like it, and I think it goes well with William.

I've known two Lucindas; one was called Cindi and the other, Lulu.

I like it! Gosh, haven't heard that one for AGES.

I agree that it's a slightly more grown-up answer to Lucy, which although lovely, is a bit pigtails. Lulu as a nn is fab.

I know siblings that are William and Lucinda - both lovely names :)

Beautiful name. I wanted it for my daughter but (silly) husband didn't agree.

I work with one. She's horrible.
