Names as beautiful as Lucy

174 replies

IcyPenguinToes · 18/10/2021 13:38

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the name Lucy. It's not too long, has a bright youthful feel and is a classic. I've known for a while that when I became pregnant I wouldn't be able to use it because DH has a DD named Lucy, so the name is out of the question.

Can you recommend me some girls names that are just as beautiful?

I'm not keen on Elizabeth, Anna or Katherine as have been suggested to me by my mum.

I don’t think you can have another “L” name but that must be so hard, not being able to have a name you’ve loved forever! These names all have a similar “feel” to Lucy to me:

Marcie
Gracie
Darcey

I hope you find something you love just as much x

Havent read the whole thread but fuck it this is your baby! If you met him and already had a Lucy would you not be with him? lol. Call her Lucy if you want or the Italian version (Lu-ch-ia) which is nice too.

Im a mum to a Lucy - but if I ever had another girl she would be named Aurora.

Best of luck :)

Her husband would have two daughters called Lucy. Clearly she can’t use it for the sake of both girls.

@dressedupatanivy

Meh. If I have my heart set on something I'll go for it, never been one of these people who panic cos a name is "taken" loads of people have same names in families, maybe not siblings but it would be a funny story shrugs

If her DP had met OP already and she had a daughter called Lucy, they wouldnt not be together... but yeah thats me LOL.

Hope OP has a good name she is happy with. On the other hand all Lucys I know are crazy (including mine) so maybe dont like the name so much haha.

Really? So he will take his two kids out and say ‘this is my daughter Lucy, and my daughter Lucy.’ What will they name a third child, Lucy?
DressedUpAtAnIvy · 18/10/2021 18:09

Let’s assume that OP has the normal human quantity of empathy though.

Kanaloa · 18/10/2021 18:09

In answer op, I like Alice and Erin. Lots of nice names suggested here though! Also like Margot.

If she already had a Lucy it wouldn't be her DHs daughter! He can't have two daughters called Lucy (I mean technically he could but it would be weird AF).

Abigail
Clara
Isabel
Sophie
Imogen
Elise
