Help me with my baby girls name !

[Lkakpk]

So my lo is Lucia and I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with my second girl . I’m REALLY struggling with a name I love as much as Lucia .
Can you guys help with any suggestions similar - I Love names that are unique without being too weird . Love girly Spanish and Italian names . Anyway , this is our list please give your thoughts
1 . Reeva - my husbands favourite and front runner for a long time . My only reservation is from telling people seems to be a name you either LOVE or totally HATE and it seems to have the Arriva bus connection to due to sound simalarities
Serena - I Love but my husband doesn’t
Sienna - maybe a bit common here ?
isabella - both love but too common as first name
Arlia - Like but not 100 percent
Blair- I love husband doesn’t

Help is needed I would love your opinions :)

What about Leonora? Miranda? Mariana?

@Miriam101 I did consider Leona at one point

@Lkakpk it offends me because I don't like hearing people butcher my mother tongue and it then sets a precedent for incorrect pronunciation of our names by stupid people. Your friend can't be Italian if she doesn't know how to pronounce Lucia correctly.

But you go ahead and pick a name that you have no heritage of, "hun". Maybe I also suggest some Indian names for you?

@ChobKnees as mentioned prior I’m so sorry you are obviously struggling . Please seek help to deal with your obvious anger issues. May I also point out people are not stupid for a different pronunciation of a classic name … please educate yourself further to avoid future conflict . Your posts have been reported .

@Beefcurtains79 , Lucia isn't just italian. It's in use in lots of countries, and has been for a long time. Do you wish to correct the inhabitants of St Lucia and spanish, portuguese etc people called Lucia too. The name is from Latin and was originally probably pronounced Luke-ee-a

@EleanorShellstrop28 , tell me about it. There's a current thread about a long welsh name that's been around for about 1.5 millennia. pp asks how do you say it? I answer and a few posters pile in with 'no it's not'

@KirstenBlest you can’t argue with stupid though can you !

@KirstenBlest i never said anything at all about the pronouncement of Lucia? You are confused. I was merely referring to the OP’s statement that she wanted an Italian or Spanish name, despite having no connections to these cultures.

I hope that we can maintain a united front to insist from now on that everyone uses the original latin pronunciation of Lucia, @Lkakpk . It's the right thing to do.

I'm going to complain to the BBC about that the mispronunciation of Sir Attenborough and Mr Osman's first name. Don't they realise that it's a german name?

@KirstenBlest please do 🤣🤣 so we can all rest easy tonight …

Reeva or Cara

Allegra 100% came straight to mind, I think it goes so nicely with Lucia!

@RobertaTheRobot thanks for suggestion . It’s so hard !

I think it goes perfectly with Lucia and fits the European ‘ theme’ ☺️

Love Reeva.
