Lucia (pronounced Loo-see-ah) or Louisa, which do you prefer? Thanks.

Lucia. It's a lovely name.

Louisa is an elegant name! I also like Lucia.

I find Anna to be quite dull.

Lucia by a mile! Louisa and Anna are fine but a bit dull.

I really like Louisa x

Lucia puts me off because of the pronunciation issues. I love LuSEEa, but you will probably get LooCHEEa, Loocha and Loosha, and she will constantly have to spell and pronounce her name for people.

Louisa is a lovely name, can't go wrong.

Louise or Louisa

Anna seems a bit outdated for me
Lucia will get constantly mispronounced. I worked with a Spanish lady called Lucia and I’m sure she’d tell you there’s 100s of ways people fudge her name

GLADragss · 30/11/2022 03:30

Luisa could be a good hybrid of the two as a pp suggested

in my head I feel like Lucia has a “th” sound with the authentic Spanish pronunciation so I always hesitate saying it out loud in fear of botching it

Ragingoverlife · 30/11/2022 04:30

I always read it as Loosha rather than loo seeah

As in St Lucia.

Its a gorgeous name though.

I love Louisa and Eloise.

really not keen on Lucia and I went to school in the 80s/90s with about 10 Anna’s so it feels dated and boring to me.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 30/11/2022 05:46

Anna is beautiful.

BlueSuffragette · 30/11/2022 06:14

Louisa then Anna. Not keen on Lucia at all.

Tripsabroad · 30/11/2022 08:07

Louisa, then Anna, then Lucia.

I do really like Luisa too.

MassiveSalad22 · 30/11/2022 08:10

I’d vote Louisa because the fact you’ve had to spell out the pronunciation of Lucia shows it’s going to be an issue… and I still don’t know if you mean LOO-see-ah or loo-SEE-ah. There’s also Lucia as in St Lucia.

Louisa, Anna, Lucia for me.

CatByDay · 30/11/2022 08:20

Louisa is beautiful.

PinkSyCo · 30/11/2022 08:26

You could have a combination-Louanna? Not sure I like it mind you. Lucia and Louisa are both lovely names though, and Anna Louise is pretty.

Anna Louise seems very 80s to me
