Lucienne
What are your thoughts on Lucienne? I'd probably call her Lucy.Do you like Lucienne Madeline? Or do you prefer Cosette Madeline? (Madeline honors my mom, by the way.)Thank you!

I think it's really pretty and Lucy is a perfect nickname. Lucienne makes it more classy and grownup rather than just Lucy on it's own.Lucienne Madeline is a bit too long however. I prefer Lucienne over Cosette any day.

I don't like Lucienne. I like Lucian and only on a boy. I prefer Cosette Madeline over Lucienne Madeline.

like!I have a great-aunty Lucienne. We call her Lu :) It is such a cute name.However I think Cosette Madeline has better flow in terms of sounds and is lighter. Lucienne Madeline is very heavy from its own frills.

I think of a corrupt Cdn. politician named Lucien when I hear the name, so it has bad associations for me. Lucienne Madeline is too rhymey... Cosette is nmsaa, but better.

I don't like it... it's fine in French, but in English it's way too frilly for me. I prefer Cosette Madeleine because Lucienne and Madeleine bith end with an "n" sound. And I like Les Mis...

I like it.Lucienne Madeline is lovely. I always hear the word cosset (msp?) when I see Cosette, so I don't like it. Lucienne is very unexpected and bright to me - and matches Madeline beautifully.
