HelpRe: WDYT of Lucia.
in reply to a message by Gizette
I love it the way you're pronouncing it (loo-SEE-uh). So beautiful and refreshing after all the Lucy's running about :-)
I don't like the other pronunciations, because 'loo-CHEE-uh' would be too confusing for English speakers, and 'Loosha' just sounds weirdly Americanised to me. (I don't do Alicia when 'uh-LEESH-uh', either.)
