Which name between Lucy and Katie

[Liverpoollass2]

We like both, partner prefers one I prefer the other can't decide

They’re all awful! It’s clear your taste is different, maybe don’t join a thread where your idea of nice names is clearly very different!

What a stupid comment. How am I supposed to know that the names I like are clearly different. Did it make you feel good making such a snotty comment.

I was about to reply saying the same! All of those are awful 🤣

The OP didn't ask for random name suggestions anyway, she asked if people prefer Lucy or Katie. Why is that so difficult for some people?

Neither Kate nor Katie were in the ONS top 100 list for England in 2021, which was the last list I could find.

It's a pretty spelling but the poor girl will end up having to spell her name out for the rest of her life. Imagine how tedious that is

I love the name Kate and called my daughter this. She was a Katie when little but at 17 prefers Kate. There are no other Kates in her year.

It’s not snotty, you’ve listed clearly very different names! Surely you can see that Cassandra for example is not similar at all! Your suggestions sound a lot more snotty than the ones the OP asked about!

I agree. All awful names. Everyone has different tastes, and OP asked about 2 specific names. Weird to then list off a load of random ones .

I wouldn't go with Lucy because of Lucy Letby. It's the first thing that came into my mind.

I prefer Katie

I prefer Lucy

Lucy definitely. Works nicely on a little girl and an older person in a work environment. ☺️

Lucia
Lucinda nn Lucy

Katerina nn Katie
Katya

I prefer Lucia and Katya/Katerina as they sound more grown up and will serve her better when she's grown up. Lucy and Katie suit children but not adults.

I wasn't going to say it but since you did , first thing I thought was Lucy letby

Katie as I don't think I know any young Katies.
Ther are loads of kids called Lucy.

They don't sound grown up, they sound Eastern European!
Not that there's an issue if that's what you're going for but I don't think the OP is.

I have a Lucy and she loves her name! No regrets! We also have a Katie in the family and she loves her name too, both are gorgeous timeless classics 😊

Kate

I much prefer Lucy. I grew up with quite a few girls called Katie, and none of them were nice people unfortunately so I have bad associations with this name.

Lucy is lovely though. A traditional classic but still feels fresh and in fitting with current trends.

How about Katy with a 'y'? Makes it more of a name in its own right, rather than short for something else :)

Both aren't nice. Lucy is slightly better than Katie.

Lucy Letby and Katie Price.

Those were my first thoughts.

Any other names op?

The Lucy's I know are lovely as is the one Katie I know. I also lean towards using the Lucinda and Katherine option officially though. It allows your DD to choose her identity a little more than a 'sweet and pretty' name being imposed on her.

Love Katie and Lucy. My Ds 's girlfriend is Katie - she's 19. He calls her Kate but I use Katie. My middle name is Kate but my mum used to call me name Katie/Katy and I wish it were Katie/Katy. I have a friend with a 14yr old Katy. I have a few friends called Katie - all in their 30/40s - most are short for Katherine, whereas the younger ones I know are not.

Lucy.

When I was growing up Katie was everywhere. There were at least 6 in my year at secondary. I'm so bored of it now.
