HelpRe: Luciana
in reply to a message by Laura W
Funny. I was just thinking that I should suggest Lucienne and Lucine more. ("loo-see-EN")("loo-SEEN")
I have no idea what the correct pronunciaiton of Luciana is. I would tend to say, "loo-see-AH-nuh." It reminds me a bit of the Lusitania, but it's not that overwhelming in my head that i couldn't separate them out.
Your pronunciaiton with the nn Lucy makes perfect sense to me. Nns are the place to let whimsy run wild. Your variation doesn't even register on the "how did they get that nn from that formal name?" register.
