WDYT of Lucy? I used to not think much of it, then I loved, then it was okay, and now it's really growing on me again. I know some people probably think of someone who is "loose" when they hear it, but this doesn't both me at all.

Any combo suggestions? I like Lucy Pearl. Or, with it as a mn, Freya Lucy -- too many Ys?

I love Lucy

I think it is a classic name. I also like the French spelling Lucie, but then it should be pronounced "Lu-SEE".

Lucy Pearl is pretty. And Freya Lucy too. I don't see the problem with two Y's, since the Y's are pronounced differently (as a consonant in Freya, as a vowel in Lucy).

I LOVE the name Lucy! It's a fave of mine. I also love the combo Lucy Pearl. I'd thought of that combo myself and fell in love with it. Freya Lucy is nice too, but I still prefer Lucy Pearl.

I'm plan to use Erin Lucille on my first girl and she will be called Lucy.

I'm totally in love with that name.

I love Lucy, but prefer Lucia (loo-CHEE-a)

Lucy is slightly too sweet for me. I do not like Pearl at all... I think of a gossipy, midwestern woman.

Lucy Augusta springs to mind, Lucy Alexandra, Lucy Lavender (maybe a bit cute), Lucy Amarante, Lucy Rose...

I like Lucia a lot too. I'm not sure which name I prefer though.

Lucy Augusta is adorable. I absolutely love it. Thank you!

Love, love, love Lucy. (Pun intended.)

Lucy Pearl is nice. Freya Lucy sounds nice, although the styles are too different for me next to each other.

Lucy Elizabeth
Eliza Lucy
Lucy Kate
Lucy Charlotte
Lucy Catherine
Lucy Claire (Both mean light. Too much?)
Lucy Violet
Anna Lucy
Flora Lucy / Lucy Flora
Georgia Lucy

Eliza Lucy is great. I really like that. The other names there are very nice too. Isn't a name on that list I don't like. :)

The name reminds me of my gossipy next door neighbor, or a goose.

Lucy is a nickname to me and does not have any formal name quality to it. I don't see why it's become so popular as a formal name. It's so immature sounding to me. I prefer Lucille with Lucy as a nickname. I'd prefer Lucille Pearl or Pearla Lucille.

Edit: Spelling.

I adore the name Lucy and associate it with Lucille Ball who's my favorite actress. As for combos it looks like you're leaning more toward old fashioned names. I usually prefer combos with more of a syllable difference. For example, a 1 syllable first name paired w/ a three syllable middle name or vice versa. I hope that makes sense. It's kind of hard to explain.

I used to think it had to be a nn for Lucille, etc. But I much prefer just Lucy now. I don't think of "loose" but I would probably call a Lucy "Luce" at times. :b I LOVE Lucy Pearl, and I love Freya but Freya Lucy sounds strange imo.

Yeah, I actually don't care much for Freya Lucy. It popped into my head and I typed it up without really thinking about it, lol.

I love the name Lucy, though I prefer it as a nickname for Lucia. I've always thought of a Lucy as being sweet and quiet, not "loose" at all. Lucy Pearl is okay. I really don't like Lucy as a middle name though.

I've always found Lucy to be short for something and not a complete firstname.To me,it's a short version of Lucile,Luciana,Lucia etc{Its a lovely nickname though}

Lucy is a formal name, just like Mary

Mary is the English form of Maria, not a nn for Maria. Likewise, Lucy is the English form of Lucia.
