Lucero sounds like a boy’s name. Only like it for a boy.

It's interesting, for sure. Not really my thing.
I find it very easy to picture as the name of an automobile model. Like, introducing the Ford Lucero! It's so vivid that I went and looked to see if there is such a thing. You'll be glad to know, I found nothing.

I have only the slightest bit of Spanish but I do recognize the ending form, and that it is a surname. It reminds of occupational surnames in English.

---

But I guess if it is used to refer to stars, then there you go, it's poetic! What do I know.
Makes a good mononym for a celebrity, apparently.

---

Many of your combos seem clashy to me because Lucero seems so Hispanic.
I'd give her a Latiny middle name with a powerful vibe.
Lucero Camila, Lucero Iraida, Lucero Libertad, Lucero Ignacia, Lucero Sofia

Not a Spanish speaker, but I quite like this name. It is radiant and luminescent like light itself, but in a subtler and more mysterious form. Lucero Flavia, Lucero Amabel and Lucero Fiammetta are my favourites of your combos.

Spanish here!

This name is not uncommon in Latin America, but it is rare in my country, Spain. To me, it still evokes that poetic, delicate, luminescent imagery but I'd be shocked to meet a Lucero.

Either way, "lucero" is commonly used in the Spanish language as in the phrase "lucero del alba" (morning star; also note Alba is commonly used as a name), so it's just another nature name, in this case common among middle-aged women (like Luz).

I asked my Spanish husband about this name and they say they don't know anyone with the name, nor have they heard of anyone with it. They said it sounded familiar in a poetic or literary way, and then figured out that it's a fancy way of referring to Venus, through lucero de alba, the light of dawn or morning star. That makes it very pretty to me! They pronounce it like "lu-THEH-ro".

Lucero does feel vaguely futuristic as well, like others have described! It's sort of Blade Runner neo noir for me, futurecorp glamour, like a building designed by Antonio Sant'Elia. Artfully aloof, sleek, and impressive. I love it!

it's cute. A bit masculine, like a name a woman in Dune would have. Also reminds me of a 4th-generation Pokémon, Lucario.

It's lustrous, luminescent, blindingly bright. I'm envisioning angels meeting science fiction. Gleaming white armour, shining swords, mechanical wings.
