Re: Lucina
in reply to a message by )(
I'd use Lucy, in fact, I nearly did. Luce is hilarious - a Luce woman? Sounds like a 19th-century insult!Lucina was the goddess of childbirth, so I suppose Lucina could be a nonce name. I find it too long and frilly, compared to Lucy. In fact, I don't enjoy Lucia, Lucinda, Lucille etc either - Lucy can stand alone.

Sure, technically, but what if this metaphorical Lucy wants something more mature to fall back on later? Lucy is a very cutesy name to be married to for a lifetime.
