Lucille

Lucille is such a sophisticated and sweet name. I don't like the potential nickname Lucy, however I would prefer it spelled Lucie.

Very pretty, but I don't like the nickname Lucy.

The name is so elegant and beautiful, I love it. I like the nickname Lucy too, but I much prefer the spelling Lucie, as I find it prettier.

Ok so some of the posts on here are making me superrrrr self conscious and stuff because my name is Lucille. My grandparents fell in love with the name Katharine for my mother because of Katharine Hepburn (her name is Katharine Audrey lolll!) and so my mother wanted to carry on this influential-actress naming thing and loved the name Lucille after Lucille Ball. My name is Lucille Felicia (my middle name after my grandmother). And I'm not like, ancient or anything either. I think Lucille is a beautiful name although I'm not a fan of it's nickname "Lucy".

My 90 year old grandmother's name is Margaret Lucille, but she has always gone by Lucille. This name is lovely and feminine. My mom's name is Jacquelyn Lucille, my oldest sister Rebekah Lucille. Rebekah named her daughter Elisabeth Lucille with the nickname "Betsy." Betsy is a teenager now and has always gone by Betsy. I think having this name in the family is wonderful and that it is a classic name with that vintage style. I don't think I'd name a little girl Lucille, but I would think it was adorable if someone chose this for their baby. Also love the association with Lucille Ball, so that's a plus. The name has a versatility to it as well, since you can try different spellings, variants, or nicknames. Lucille, Lucile, Lucilla, Lucy, Luci, Lucie, Luc, Cille.

Very nice name. I’ll name my daughter this if I have one.

Although Lucy has firmly been in my top ten for as long as I can remember, this name just doesn’t do anything for me. I’m not sure why.

Also makes me think “loose heel” so maybe a good name for a cobbler!

I love that so many people like the name Lucille. Me too! I was afraid that many would think of it as a grandmother's name, but considering that vintage names are fashionable now, I had a little hope. Lucille strikes me as a lovely, cute, and precious name.

I prefer this as a middle name. It's so pretty for a middle name!

I love Lucille! There are so many nicknames and it suits so many ages. Even though it’s after Lucille Ball I still love Desiree as a middle name with it.

Lucille is a lovely name. I much prefer it to Lucile.

I like Lucile better.

Pretty name.

It's frilly and smug. An uptight old lady with too many morals.

It’s lovely.

Please please please don’t do this to a poor little girl! I would absolutely hate being stuck with this name!

Lucille is a wonderful name. I also like the name Lucinda too.
Lucille is a classic that has been used for many years. It's not an immature name at all, as it ages well. It's also not high on the charts right now, so you won't have to deal with "Lucille B" or "Lucille R", while there may some Lucy/Luci's with Lucy/Luci as their first name, so they might be confused with that. (Only if she's nicknamed Lucy/Luci) I prefer Lucille to Lucy/Luci as a first name.

As a Lucinda, I envy this name, haha.
Since I mostly go by Luci, a lot of my friends thought Lucille was my name before they heard my mom calling me. If there was a choice, I'd choose Lucille, honestly. Lucinda is nice, but Lucille is pretty and good for more ages, to be honest. Although, I'm not too big on the look of it.

In The Walking Dead, Lucille is the name Negan gives his lethal baseball bat, which he uses to brutally murder some of the show's favourite characters so for that reason alone I could never hear the name Lucille and think positively. Unfortunate really!

My name is Lucille and I love it. I went by Luci as a child and now that I'm older I prefer to go by the version that sounds more adult to me but they're both pretty names. I used to not like my name but I realized a while ago how pretty it sounds.

I love this name. I've never seen it as old-fashioned at all, considering I just discovered it a few weeks ago. It's beautiful, strong, and has a nice sound to it. The "L's" make it soft and wearable.

I love this name! I can see this name for all ages not just for elderly women. Although, I don't like the nickname Lucy to it. This name sounds sophisticated and cute, I love this name!

Unfortunately, I can't see/hear this name without thinking of the Kenny Rogers' song: "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille!" In the song, Lucille leaves her husband and four kids.

Love it. Reminds me of Lucille ball- one of my favorite actresses of all time.
My first daughter, I would most likely name, Nora Lucille. Lucille in honor of the actress.

The nickname Lucy is sooo adorable!

My name is Lucille and I have to say that I have always hated it. As much as I love my parents, I don't see how anyone can look into a nursery window and point to a tiny baby girl and say "LUCILLE." It boggles my mind! It sounds like a name for a 90 year old spinster aunt. As much as I've hated my name, I can't think of a cute nickname for it, so I've always been called this. I remember as a school girl, on the first day, EVERY year, the new teacher would ask us to stand up and say our names out loud and I always dreaded that day. My female classmates would recite melodic names like Linda, Debbie, Donna, Melinda, Lindsey and there I would be whispering LUCILLE, so ashamed! I attribute my low self esteem to my name, it never made me feel good or pretty or feminine or special. Just not a nice name for a girl of any age. Parents who are considering this name for their daughters ought to read this post and think again! Thanks.

I have liked the name since I was a kid, when I used to watch "I Love Lucy" starring Lucille Ball, aka the greatest woman who ever stood in front of a camera! She was such a strong, spirited woman whom I admire and adore her name!

I think Lucille is a nice, old-fashioned, classy, feminine name. It goes fabulously with my other favorite girl names.

Lucille has a nice ring to it. It sounds feminine, elegant, and fun all at the same time. I LOVE this name!

I prefer it pronounced "Loo-SILL" rather than "Loo-SEEL" - after all, in English, the "seel" sounds like "see-yul", and that's no closer to the French than "Loo-SILL". "Loo-SEEYL" sounds pretentious and impractical to me.

I think Lucille looks prettier than it sounds - I prefer the sound of Lucy/Lucie.

This is a beautiful name. Lucille sounds like a cute young girl with a blond braid.

While this is a very old name, I think it's very elegant and feminine.

I love the name Lucille. Could also be Lucilla. And the nicknames could be Luce/Loose, Celia, and Lucy. However Lucille sort of reminds me of Lucifer. Which is a bad, bad thing!

I really like the name Lucille. It's a nice alternative to the growing populars Lucia and Lucy.

I cannot find any worthwhile reason of why you should name your child this other than the rather diminutive choice - after the Great Aunt. However, I prefer the name Lucelle (loo-sell). My own little creation!
