Opinions on Emily vs. Lucy

[Redpoppy21]

Help me decide! Older sister is Clara. I love both names.

I prefer Lucy; it feels more timeless.

Emily all the way for me. Lucy just seems a bit bland - probably as there are so many of them!

Sorry I love both. That’s a toughie.

Lucy is such a lovely name. Emily is nice too, but I prefer Lucy. You can't go wrong with either really, and both go nicely with Clara.

Emily

Pleasant enough but to me they're both a bit predictable compared to Clara. i'd try to have two less common names.

Both lovely names so you can't go wrong!

I slightly prefer Emily as like Em over Luce xx

Emily for me. A timeless classic and I prefer the shortenings of Emily over Lucy.

Both are lovely, but I voted for Lucy as I have one. We never shorten to Luce.

I prefer Lucy, out of the two, but think Emily goes better with Clara in terms of flow and style.

Personally I prefer Emma to Emily, if that's an option? I've always found Emily a bit dull, personally, whereas Emma feels a bit more feisty. Clearly I'm in a minority though, as Emily is so popular.

Lucy Letby has ruined Lucy for me unfortunately.

So I'd choose Emily

Emily

Lucy! But I'm biased I have a Lucy and I love the name

Emily

Lucy but L names are currently very popular. Emma is much nicer than Emily.

This is how I feel also.

Lucia (I prefer loo-chee-a)
Emilia
Emma
Louisa

Either is fine.
Lucia has many different ways of saying it, which could be an issue. I think i'd get fed up with saying 'Looch-ee-a' whenever I'd been called 'Lu-see-a'
Emilia is nice but Amelia is too popular, and the misspelling Emelia is awful.
Emma and Louisa are both nice.

I’m a Lucy. I’d have loved to be called Emily instead

I know too many Emilys, I think, so it feels a bit done-to-death. But that tends to vary by region.

(see also Ella and Olivia - perfectly nice names, know too many of them)

Both lovely names. I prefer Lucy.

PPs have suggested a few names ending in -a but I would avoid that since you have a Clara.

Other names that might work:
Alice
Florence
Grace
Imogen
Penelope (Penny)
Rose
Ruby

Can’t really decide between the two. Find them both nice enough names but don’t love either.

I prefer Emma, Ember and Emmy over Emily.

I would go for Emma over the other two but if its just between them then Emily as I don't like Lucy

Both are safe and boring options. It would be unfair to her if the older one is Clara. I would look for one with a similar vibe. Claudia, Seraphina, Nina?

Lucy is ok. Emily I'm not keen on.

Clara and Claudia?! Far too similar!
