ArchivesRe: Lucille
in reply to a message by ClaudiaS
I know this conversation may be old - but i agree with ClaudiaS... a reasonable explanation should be embedded into the story for a name that uncommon in 1996. A name past the 1000s would be totally normal today, since so many names are in use, many people are looking outside the norm (far more so than 20 years ago, and incredibly more so than 100 years ago).
As a suggestion - Lucille Ball was born in the town I grew up in. If you were to take a stat of names there, you would find that since her celebrity status, the name has never fallen out of the top 100 in that county. Tons of girls named Lucille there. That might be a good backstory.
