Lucina

In Italian it’s pronounced /lu.ˈt͡ʃiː.na/.

I never heard lu-SYE-na but the more I think of it, the cooler it sounds.

It's pronounced Loo cye na.

My name is Lucina. The name has been in my family for many generations. We have always pronounced it Loo-sign-uh with the long I sound. Do not know if this was a pronunciation that came from a certain culture or not. My family emigrated to Canada from France many generations ago, then to the US.

This is my daughter's name, and we pronounce it "loo-see-na," although I think the "loo-chee-na" pronunciation is beautiful too. Lucina's nickname is Lula, and some of our relatives call her Lucie as well.

I'm pretty sure that this name would be pronounced either lu-CIN-a or lu-CEEN-a. It sounds /to me/ like the name of a fairy or more mature person.
