[Opinions] Luciana
I'm starting to adore this name, it's a nice alternative to Lucía. It's also the most recent name I added to my PNL.Thoughts?

It feels trendy, but its more or a false perception. Its not an american name or anything.
I really like it, the Spanish pronunciation is the prettiest. Its better than Lucy or Lucia.

It feels doubly trendy to me because of the mash-up of Lucy and an -ana suffix. I think there are more substantial names to be had to be honest. Still cute but definitely a product of the last ten years and will fade away & age a girl later in life. Don't get me wrong though I still like it, I just think it's a bit too trendy to use IRL. I prefer: Lucinda, Lucelia, Lucilla, Lucetta

I named a cat Lucinda once, but we called her Cindy. For a human, I wouldn't go beyond Lucy, which I would use. Anything else, in English, is too long, fluffy, frilly and complicated.

Hi !!!In Italian we read it with 'ch' instead of 'th' as in Spanish but It is a commonly-used name. I can figure a Luciana as a woman over 40 years old. The name is used by any kind of women but it was more used some decades ago.I link it with Luciana Litizzetto, a very wit TV presenter and comedian. I would not use it but I've seen worse names rather than it.
