Comments for the name Lucy

Of Greek origin, one of the many epithets of goddess Artemis, Lucia Artemis ("Lousia" in Greek, pronounced Luseea), from the Greek verb louo-louomai, literally means having a bath, symbolizing purity.

Lucy comes from the Latin meaning of "light" and "light bringer". In Spanish it can be translated into Lucita and in Italian it is Lucia.

I always thought Lucy was a nickname for Lucille.

"Lucy in the sky with diamonds" is a famous Beatles song.

Lucy is also the name of the youngest girl in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C S Lewis. She is the one who discovers the wardrobe and is also given the power to heal.

Lucy Pevensie, as mentioned before, IS the primary heroine of 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,' but she is also in 'Prince Caspian,' 'The Voyage of the *Dawn Treader*,' 'The Horse and His Boy,' and 'The Last Battle.' C.S. Lewis dedicated 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' to a girl he knew whose name was Lucy.

Lucy is also one of Charles Schultz Peanuts children.

Lucy was Lucille Ball's character in "I Love Lucy."

My name is Lucy and I absolutely LOVE my name. The meaning behind it is wonderful. To me "light bringer" means to bring happiness, love, cheer, life and truth. Every now and then I have been asked if my full name was Lucille, but it is not. However, I do like the I Love Lucy show. : )

Pretty, cute and dainty. Nothing special, but yeah. I like it more because it either reminds me of Lucille Ball's hilarious, screwball and perky character in "I Love Lucy" or of the innocent, loving, yet intuitive young Lucy Pevensie from "The Chronicles of Narnia."

I just love this name. I can picture a young girl with this name and would expect her to have a colorful personality and be very kind and caring.

Sweet and pretty.

Nice enough name, but whenever I see it, I think of that annoying girl from 7th Heaven. Anyway, I prefer the spelling Lucie. No offense to anyone with this name; this is just my humble opinion.

I think Lucy is such a cute, sweet and inspiring name! It had always reminded me of Lucy Pevensie as well. :-)

Lucy is a pretty name and I think it suits people of all ages. It's a fairly common name, but not the most popular name in the world. Certainly not as common as it was in the past. It's a name that you know, but you don't hear too often.

This is one of my middle names and I think it is very pretty and is fairly common. But I always think of a Lucy as a curly and blonde haired girl with big blue eyes who is a spoilt brat, and who gets her dad to buy her everything so I wouldn't use it as that picture is rather negative.

This is one of my middle names and although I think it is quite plain on its own it is a good name to use to link one or two together. I say that it is plain because it is simple and isn't particularly exciting - I think it suits a young child far more than an adult.

Lucy is my name. And I rather like it. Although it is a shortened version of Luangi, which is my real name.

Lucy is the name of one of the main characters in the astoundingly gorey anime 'Elfen Lied'. Wikipedia search it if you want to know more -- I haven't seen enough of it to elaborate. x);

Lucy was very popular from 1880 to 1910 and began to drop in popularity. Its usage is just starting to increase again today.

Lucy is an awesome name for a girl. Very pretty and easy to grow up with.

Lucy Westenra is a character in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. She was a friend of Mina and one of Dracula's first victims. I think it's a cute name for a redhead, although that could be because in the 1992 film Lucy was a redhead.

There WAS a character in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" named Lucy Westenra, but her name is commonly thought to be short for Lucille or just Lucy, but it is in fact, Lucinda.

Lucy Parsons, also known as Lucy Gonzales, was a famous bearer of this name. Parsons is a well-known and respected African American/Native American/Mexican feminist and anarchist.

Lucy Snowe is the main character in Charlotte Bronte's beautiful novel 'Villette'.

Saint Lucy is the patron saint of those with eye problems.

I like this name so much, I think it's so cute!

My year in school is FULL of Lucys. There are about ten in total. So one in each of the six forms we have. I'm sort of glad now my name is Luangi.

In the play Jekyll and Hyde there is the prostitute that Edward Hyde sleeps with. She falls in love with Henry Jekyll but Hyde is in love with her. I love this play even though she dies in the end.

A sweet name for a girl. Would sound nice as a combo - Lucy Jane.

Lucy can be a nickname for any name starting with "Luc-" (e. G. Lucille, Lucinda, Lucretia, Lucasta, etc.)

I love this name, it fits a little girl perfectly but it's still an ancient name that suits an older woman. It's not very popular in America these days but it's crazy common in the UK.

Dakota Fanning plays Lucy Diamond Dawson in the movie I Am Sam.

I adore the name Lucy. It's feminine and fun. It's also a great nickname for Lucinda, Lucina, Luciana, Lucia, or Lucasta.

My first name is not Lucy, it's my middle name - but I have always been called by Lucy. I love it, the meaning is wonderful. It's also Ancient Roman (being based on Lucius, which is another reason I love it, as my surname is the name of the first Roman standard bearer in England. I love my Ancient Roman name!

Call me crazy, but I adore the name Lucy! Though Lucia is a better name, still I like the name Lucy.

This name was famously given to the fossilized remains of a member of Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominid. The partial skeleton was unearthed in 1974 and nearly everyone who has taken high school biology or anthropology since then should be familiar with this connection.

Lucy is the name of one of the main characters in Julie Taymore's movie Across the Universe (2007).

Hate this name. So blah and boring it's sickening.

Miss Lucy Steele, in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, is a not-so-favorable character.

In the Harry Potter series, Percy Weasley eventually has two daughters with a woman named Audrey, to be named Molly and Lucy.

I love this name! It makes me think of Bram Stoker's Dracula. There was a character named Lucy in the movie version that came out in 1992. The actress Sadie Frost played the part of Lucy. The name sounds very Victorian to me. It's such a nice name in my opinion. Hopefully, it doesn't become too popular here in the United States. I hate when a name becomes too popular.

Lucy is a common but pretty name. You can never be too old or too young for it.

I like Lucy as well. Just a note, but Lucille is a familiar form of Lucy, not the other way around. Also, Lucy Westenra of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula is not short for Lucinda. In fact, Lucinda, like Lucille, is a familiar form of Lucy. The character's name is Lucy and the name Lucinda is not mentioned anywhere in the novel.

One of the world's first set of sextuplets are born in Chicago, Illinois. (There were reported but unverified earlier births of sextuplets being born in U.S. on December 30, 1831, in Italy in 1844 and in Maine in 1847) The Bushnell family delivers six babies, three boys, Alberto, Laberto and Norberto, and three girls, Alice Elizabeth, Alincia, and Lucy. Laberto and Lucy die at birth but we believe the other four babies survived the birth. Alinica reportedly survives to age 85, dying on March 27, 1952 in Warsaw, New York. We've also seen a Guinness Book reference that claimed all six sextuplets survived at least two months.

Lucy SAxon (A.K.A the Master's wife) from Doctor Who.

I like the name Lucy so much I adopted it as my new name! It's such a likeable name with a lot of history, I've always felt an affinity with it. It has a bright and bouncy sound, a lovely meaning and everybody can spell it and say it right!

I have to say that I find the name rather bland and unimaginative, but that's just my opinion.

I tend to relate this name to the Beatles' song, 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds', which is very lovely. I love this name, it's short and sweet.

I will always associate Lucy with Across the Universe/"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." I think this is one of few names that have been around for a really long time, but haven't gone out of style.

Lucy Stone was a suffragist and abolitionist in the 1800s. She was the first recorded woman in America to keep her maiden name after marrying, and the first woman in Mass. to earn a college degree.

She's one of my heroes because she had the courage to stand up for what she believed in and did what she thought was right, even if it would cause trouble for herself. I'd name a daughter after her.

"Lucy Gray, or Solitude" is a poem by William Wordsworth. It's a sad story of a solitary girl who seems connected with nature, and gets lost and dies in a snowstorm. Google it.

Lucy Hutchinson (1620–81), daughter of Sir Allen Apsley and wife of Colonel Hutchinson (whose biography she wrote), was a courageous heroine of the English Civil War as well as a writer and translator.

I go by Lusie (I might add that I prefer my spelling) and, as someone entering the "adult world", don't have any problems with it - it's short, simple, and fun. I think it will serve be wonderfully, but then, I don't have any corporate aspirations. I really think Lusie/Lucy/whatever is better suited as a middle name that can be used if the bearer chooses - it takes a certain personality and set of goals to pull it off past childhood and not make it childish or frumpy.

My name is Lucy and I love it. To me its pretty and elegant.

"The Lucy poems" is the title given to a series of poems by William Wordsworth. They were written to a woman of this name. No one is sure if Lucy was a real woman or a fictional character. One of the more famous of the poems is "She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways."

Lucy Szabo is the solemn, contemplative protagonist of Pete Hautman's novel "Sweetblood".

Lucy is the female protagonist in the Beatles-inspired movie "Across The Universe". She is most likely named for the classic Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

I love this name! Though my name is Ludmila, my short name is Lucja, and I love when they sometimes call me Lucy.

Lucy is a really sweet name! It would be a perfect middle name for many different names. :DD

In Latin, Lucy can be translated as the word light.

Sweet, pretty name that is feminine and yet also somehow seems quite sensible and trustworthy. I can easily imagine someone called Lucy being a cute little girl and also an adult doing serious work in genetics or something.

Ugly and Lucia is way better!

Lucy Camden-Kinkirk is a character from the popular TV show "7th Heaven" (1996-2007), played by Beverley Mitchell.

St. Lucy Filippini is the patron saint of the Maestre Pie Filippini, a religious order dedicated to teaching girls, especially in underprivileged countries, although there are several schools in prosperous countries, with the goal being to inspire others to use their education to help the poor and defenseless.

Cute, I would call my child Lucy.

I love this name, it's so cute yet ages well.

"Lucy" is a song on the 1990 album The Good Son by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.

I don't know one Lucy. I think this name is adorable, but mature, and very timeless. I will seriously consider this name with the given name as Luciana/Lucianna.

Derived from the Latin word "Lux" meaning "light".

Reminds me of I Love Lucy! Gotta love that show! :P

No offence, but I find this name a bit sickening. It has too much of a goody-goody feel to it.

Survivor's Boston Rob has a daughter Named Lucy. It was mentioned on Survivor.

Lucy Hannah (16 July 1875 - 21 March 1993) was an American supercentenarian. Hannah is the 3rd oldest verified person ever, as well as the oldest black person ever.

I quite like this name; it is usable for all ages I believe, and is quite overtly sweet-sounding, but also sounds grown-up at the same time. :-)

My favorite girl's name!

It's girly, literary, and spunky. I love how sweet and simple is. It's common but not the trendy kind of common, like Emma or Ava. It's common as in people of all different ages have this name. I doubt there would be another Lucy in her class.

Lucy Hale from Pretty Little Liars bears this name but it is just a stage name, her real name Karen Lucille Hale.

Can also be spelled Luci.

I like the name Lucy.
It's nice, yet mature, and in a way, it's actually quite formal!
You can't go wrong with this name.

I love the name Lucy since it's my mother's name. The name fits her perfectly since it's a nice, pretty and sweet name like her.

I've always been fond of the name Lucy. I love the meaning 'light'. We are planning to add a new Westie and will name her Lucee. I think it will be a great twist on this name and I think our Lucee will bring much light to our home.

Lucy Hale is an American actress and singer. She was born June 14, 1989 in Memphis, Tennessee.

There are many different names for Lucy. (Lucinda, Lucia, Lucille, Lusine, etc.) I don't know which is my favorite! :) When I think of Lucy, I think of pretty pink dresses and romance.

American actress Lucy Loken (born 1999 in Burbank, California).

Lucy Westenra from Dracula. Great and tragic character from a wonderful and classic novel.

I love the name Lucy, it always makes me think of the odd, but in my opinion quirky and beautiful song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. My only problem with it is that it's now a little too common.

This is my real name. I like it fine (and everyone I've met really likes it), but the I Love Lucy/Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds jokes get old after a while. Also, I've met more dogs than people with my name.
