Middle name for lucy

30 replies

We’re 90% decided on Lucy for baby#2 due in a few weeks. We’re torn between:
Lucy Elizabeth

Lucy Florence

Both have family ties. Which do you think sounds better?

Thank you!

I really like Lucy Florence. Elizabeth is quite often used for a middle name so Florence would be more interesting.

I would avoid middle names with vowels, because of initials spelling a word. It may not be an issue now, but could be with a married name; think "Lucy Elizabeth Green" or more possibilities if the surname is hyphenated "Lucy Elizabeth Walker-Drummond".

I would therefore go with Lucy Florence which sounds lovely anyway.

I prefer Lucy Elizabeth. It just rolls off the tongue.

MamaWeasel · 13/06/2021 22:40

I know a Lucy Margaret......but of your choices, I like Lucy Florence best

StevieNix · 13/06/2021 22:42

Lucy Elizabeth 100%

Florence probably

But you could easily have both

Either sounds great!

DramaAlpaca · 14/06/2021 00:12

I really like both so I'm no help.

HerRoyalNotness · 14/06/2021 00:12

Lucy Florence

ZednotZee · 14/06/2021 00:14

Elizabeth out of the two.

Lucy Jacinta is gorgeous though.

Undertheoldlindentree · 14/06/2021 00:17

Lucy Florence is very pretty, yet not too frilly. Lucy Elizabeth is classic but less interesting.

MajorNeville · 14/06/2021 00:26

Lucy Victoria

daisydalrymple · 14/06/2021 00:30

I thought you wanted suggestions, so my first thought was Lucy Eleanor. So I think I’d say Lucy Elizabeth.

BluePeterVag · 14/06/2021 07:26

Lucy Florence Is nice.
Lucy Jane
Lucy Rae
Lucy Lastiq
Lucy Layne
Lucy Sue

Lucy Florence is my favourite. Elizabeth is very commonly used as a middle name.

jorisbonsonstoupe · 14/06/2021 08:05

Lucy Anne

Amdone123 · 14/06/2021 08:08

Both are really lovely. I love Lucy. My favourite name is Elizabeth, but in this case, I think Lucy Florence is beautiful. Lucy Elizabeth Florence ? That flows, too.

The ee sound on the end of Lucy runs straight into the e of Elizabeth, so not ideal. Florence is better and a nicer name.

bellalou1234 · 14/06/2021 08:32

I have lucy frances

Theoldwoman · 14/06/2021 08:55

Lucy Elisabeth.

Not a fan of Florence.

I love the name Lucy. Would team it with:

Lucy Kate
Lucy Clare
Lucy Amelia

35andThriving · 14/06/2021 21:31

I prefer Florence.

Lucy Summer
Lucy Ursula
Lucy Olivia
Lucy Christine
Lucy Colette
Lucy Selina
Lucy Christabel
