Re: Lucinda
in reply to a message by Billina
I like it more than Lucille, but I happen to like Lucille a lot. I have never met a Lucille who wasn't a lovely person, so my view may be skewed on the name.
Still, 'L's are a pleasant sound and Lucinda takes the lilting-ness of Lucille and gives it a little more personality.
Honestly, I would call Lucille a little frillier than Lucinda. The 'd' makes all the difference for me.
The only downside is the potential nn Cindy. Just not a fan. Not even close to a fan.
Still, I would be far more likely to use Lucinda IRL than Lucille.
