Lucia.
This has recently become a favorite again, even as Lucy names gain in popularity. I'll probably use the loo-CHEE-a pronunication. Opinions?

I LOVE Lucia! I only like loo-SEE-ah, though. loo-CHEE-ah just sounds wrong to me.

I think it is pretty, but I prefer the lou-SEE-a pronunciation.

Lucia's lovely!I love the fact that it is foreign, pretty and gives me the impression of an optimistic, gorgeous little girl. My pronounciation of choice is loo-SEE-a, but loo-CHEE-a is lovely too! Sieglinde

I would probably pronounce Lucia as "lu-SEE-ah" b/c this is the closest to the Swedish pronunciation.But I love the Italian pronunciation "loo-CHEE-ah"."You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."

I love Lucia, but I know someone who pronounces it like LOO-sha, so that's how I think of it. Either way is beautiful, though.I don't see no shine,
