Opinions on Emily vs. Lucy

[Redpoppy21]

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

My comment that I don’t like the word/sound “loose”? Some people don’t like the sound “Willy” in William or “Claw” in Claudia, for example. I’ve been on this board a long time and if you look at past posts about Lucy - others have said exactly the same, not sure why you are after me for saying it 🤷‍♀️

Never known a nice Lucy

Yes exactly, that comment. I’m not ‘after you’, remember I was actually responding to another poster, as I don't think this whole ‘loose’ thing is an issue, which is my opinion.

Seriously I don’t know if you’re having a bad day or something, but you are reading way way too much into this. This isn’t a big thing.

I agree with previous posters, I think they are both a bit boring compared to Clara. How about Lucia?

Definitely Lucy

Emily. What about Emmeline?

@Greenerstreet I’m having a perfectly fine day, thank you. But you said I was “really reaching” ? What did you mean by that then, if it’s not a comment on me? I never mentioned any nicknames or teasing in my posts about Lucy - only that I didn’t like the sound of the first syllable in the name. You and the poster you were responding to rudely made assumptions for some reason and I tried to correct them, that’s all.

Definitely Lucy, it works better at different ages. I struggle to think of an old lady called Emily. Emma is a strong and timeless alternative.

Clara is a beautiful name and was on my list. As were Eliza, Emmeline, Jemima, Lois, Lydia, Georgia. Strong traditional names with good nickname opportunities.

I'm a nice one! And I know a few nice ones too!

My grandmother was called Lucy, as am I. I do think it's a name that suits any age. There were 3 of us in my class in primary. I don't mind being called Loose. I can't say I've ever been "picked on" because of my name. My nickname is "lock" within my family.

Emily

I don't like Lucinda.

I prefer Emily. One of my favourite names.
