If I like….

[kaceylena]

I love the name Lucia, but more so as a nickname, I’d want something fuller for the birth cert however we don’t like Lucy or Lucille though so unsure of what else could be used. We also like Mia but think it may be too common. We have a Madelyn & a Violet already. Any suggestions of longer names or similar style names welcome!

Analucia?

I quite like Lucinda.

But if you like Lucia just use that! No one is going to think it lacks a long version.

Alucia? (Pronounced aloo-sha)

Lucia is a standalone name. It's not a nickname, so just use that if you love it.

Lucia and Mia both end -ia, so perhaps you'll like:

Alessia
Antonia
Thalia / Talia
Sophia
Natalia
Cordelia / Delia
Ophelia
Maria
Tia

Lucinda is lovely and matches well with the names of your other DDs

Thinking about this… any long version might be more naturally shortened to Lucy. That’s the case with the Lucinda I know, who has been Lucy to everyone since school.

I think Lucia is a full name rather than a nickname but agree that you could use Lucinda. Analucia is pretty but I would only use this is you are from a Spanish, Portuguese or Italian speaking country, I think.

Other names that I think have the same vibe as Lucia and work well with Madelyn and Violet are:

Ariadne, Aurelia, Anastasia, Bianca, Cassia, Clarissa, Cassandra, Cecilia, Claudia, Camilla, Delilah, Elianna, Evangeline, Francesca, Giselle, Helena, Isabella, Imogen, Julia, Jacinta, Katrina, Lydia, Larissa, Miranda, Marianne, Natalia, Nadia, Ophelia, Priscilla, Ramona, Susannah, Saskia, Tabitha, Tamara, Vanessa

Luciana, Lucelia

or

Maybe a first/middle name combo for a nickname? Something like -

Luella Chelsea
Luna Shay
Lucine Sienna

depending on how you pronounce it

Personally I think Lucia is great without a longer form.

madelyn, violet and

Beatrix
everley
estelle
elodie
thea
esme
cleo
lillian
annabel
ottilie
aurora
helena
romilly
josephine

Just go with Lucia.

Lucia is a complete name in itself. You could have Luciana but why bother.

Which pronunciation would you use?
Spanish (LooSeeA)
Italian (LooCheeA)
or Loosha (as in St Lucia, I know a Lucia who uses this who is Spanish, I think)

Lucia is lovely in itself, why not just go with it? Elegant and classy, definitely not a nickname though. There are quite a few Lucias in DD’s school, all a full name

Lucia is lovely as a stand-alone name, I think it would seem a bit odd as a shortened version of something else!

Luciana is nice. It's used in Shakespeare. But Lucia is gorgeous as a name in its own right.

Lucia is a full, proper name, and very lovely.
Just go with that!

Lucia is definitely not a nickname

It’s been a full name for centuries
