[Opinions] Re: Lucy
I used to like it but now it's just Meh. It's everywhere. My sister's dog is Lucy. A lot of dogs are Lucy. It's on TV allllll the time. I'm just kind of tired of it and it's quite juvenile. Lucinda at least has a spark to it.

I love Lucinda.

I know a Lucinda. She absolutely hated her name. She went by Cindy and would get annoyed if you used her full name.

I knew a Lucinda growing up, and she loved her name.

Yes well personally I think Lucinda is better than Cindy, bleh. I just have found that since she didn't like her name, it made me not like it too for some reason

Yes, my mother's hatred for her name, Zoe, influenced my feelings toward the name for a long time.Sometimes I wonder if people who say that they hate their names suffer from low self-esteem. Personally, my name is so tied up with my identity that I can neither love it nor hate it. I can't imagine hating my name, but I'm also not one of those people who say, "I love this name because it is mine that makes it great" (you see this in the comments section of the names).

Me, too. It's just so smooth and dark. I see swirls of red and black and glitter. It's quite cool.

I see midnight blue and silver. It really shimmers.

Lots of dogs named Molly, too. Everyone must think they're being so original or something naming their dog Molly and they're being anything but. I don't really like Molly, but if I did, it would ruin it for me.

Yes, Molly is very common, too. Any cutesy human name fits, it would seem. Lucy, Molly, Sally, Rosie, etc. I've noticed the Ava trend with human babies was mirrored with dogs, too.

Maybe other people think like my mom. She loved the names Molly and Lucy but she didn't find them substantial for kids, so she used them on dogs. :)

Yep, along with Maggie, Daisy, Maisie, Sophie, Phoebe, Daphne, Zoe and Chloe. I confess, my family (my sisters and I) have used most of these over the years. ;-)
