[Opinions] Lucia
WDYT of Lucia? I'd always overlooked this name, preferring the masculine forms, but now, I'm all into Lucia. How old do you picture someone with this name to be? Does Lucia sound out of place with names like Genevieve and Rosemary, or does she add a bit of much-needed youthfulness?Thanks. :)

I like it a lot. I picture a cute Betty Rubble type of a woman. I don't think it's bad with Genevieve or Rosemary.

Love Lucia! Genevieve and Lucia sound gorgeous together. :)

Lucia is a beautiful name. I think it fits with Genevieve and Rosemary. All three names work well for various ages.

Lucia has grown on my lately too. I really like three syllable names ending in -a for girls. I picture a Lucia as a tall, sophisticated, brunette. Very put together, probably a business woman. I could never name my daughter this because she'd probably be petite, blonde, and scatter brained, lol! Such a gorgeous name though.

I like the way it looks but I never know whether to say loo-SEE-uh or LU-see-uh.
I would picture Lucia as quite young and maybe hispanic.I don't think it really "goes" with Genevieve or Rosemary.

I like the name and could see it on someone of any age... not popular enough to be dated... could go quite nicely in a sister set w/ Rosemary and Genevieve... kind of a refreshing set of recognizable, but not overused names.

I love Lucia and I'd love even more to see a sibset consisting of Genevieve, Rosemary and Lucia! Awesome! Very sophisticated and multicultural.

I looooove Lucia. I think it sounds nice with Genevieve and Rosemary, it has the same slightly worldly and exotic yet classic and charming flavour as them. In my mind a Lucia could be ANY age.

It seems to me to be a foreign (foreign to me) form of Lucy, and as such, I see no need for it. I usually like long girls' names that end in A, but in the case of Lucia, it would seem to me that I'd be using a foreign form of Lucy, and why would I do that? I love the name Lucy as it is, so why would I use a foreign form? It would also seem that I felt that I had to dress Lucy up, and I see no need to dress Lucy up.I picture a Lucia to be Italian or Spanish. It doesn't at all fit in with Genevieve and Rosemary, but then, I don't think that sibsets have to "match", anyway.

I love it, it's one of my favorite names. I used to dislike it, but I met a wonderful person named Lucia last year and she made me love this name.It's one of those names that are timeless and I can imagine it on women of all ages.It goes well with both Genevieve and Rosemary.

I don't mind Lucia. I've never met anyone at all with that name, but I'd imagine her to be a young child. Lucia feels like it's almost-trendy. Or maybe off-trendy, is a better description. Like it it close to popular names and trends without being super popular. I think it fits well with Genevieve. In that grouping, Rosemary looks more off to me, but not terribly so.

I know someone named Lucia and I never liked her. She's from Chile but grew up in Sweden. She's born in Saint Lucia's day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy%27s_Day). I don't really like the name, partly because of her, but mostly because its not my style at all. I don't think it goes very well with Genevieve and Rosemary...
