HelpRe: Luciana
in reply to a message by LMS
It's a pretty name, it is used quite a lot in non-English speaking places.
I prefer the Spanish pronunciation Loo-see-A-na.
If you are going with the Italian pronunciation, bear in mind that Loo-Chi-A-na is not the correct way. It sounds more like Loo-CHA-na, with a soft CH. The I almost disappears as it is not stressed. In names such as Lucia, where the stress falls on the I, this doesn't happen.
