Thoughts on Lucia?

[LSL0708]

Currently pregnant with our first child and Lucia has made it's way onto the list of girls names. What do people think?

Lucia is beautiful, but be aware it is a main character from Encanto which is a very popular movie atm so it will likely prove popular for a while. This may not bother you but something to think about.

Eliza and Francesca are also beautiful.

I really like Lucia. Eliza is also lovely.

Lucia, Eliza and Francesca are all really lovely!

It’s gorgeous.

Lovely name, and unique. Go for it

A nice name if it fits with the surname

Lovely name, and unique. Go for it

It’s not unique. It’s been in use since at least as far back as Ancient Rome!

The only way to get a unique name is to invent a brand new one. Usually not a wise move.

Nice name but your child will spend her life correcting spelling and pronunciation

I know of a couple little girls both pronounced lou-chee-ah
Pretty.

Why would it be Loo-cheea in the UK?

Why would it be Loo-cheea in the UK?

Because that's how it is often pronounced?

I'd automatically assume loo SEE ah and I think it's nice, congrats op

I know a Loo-see-a and she's lovely and it's a lovely name.

I like it the best out of your shortlist.

I like it...I think of the lovely song Santa Lucia (pronounced Loo-chee-ah) which my grandpa used to sing to me when I was a little girl. Brings back lovely memories. So that's how I'd say it too ♥️

Love it. Beautiful name

I think it's a bit pretentious, truthfully, but I read it as Loo Chee uh. How about Louisa?

I like the Lucinda suggestion.

Unusual and beautiful

Isn't it Luisa that's a main character?

I really like Lu-chi-a pronunciation but prefer Lucy to Lu-see-a.

It's only a problem the first time you meet someone. After you've introduced your child it stops being a problem, I wouldn't worry about the pronunciation if you prefer a particular one.
