Lucy is a full name in its own right. Names like
Lucille and
Lucette are technically pet forms of
Lucie (
Lucy).
Lucinda is an elaboration (from
Lucia really) but could be seen as yet another name deriving from
Lucy and Co.
I'm surprised so many people think this is a nickname. I'd assume a name stretching back hundreds and hundreds of years and is regarded as the English version of
Lucia, has decent currency as a full name, right?
