Lucy

Just saying you don’t have to listen to the other comment about pronunciation because some people pronounce it differently. I have a cousin Lucy who pronounces it loo-see. Soooo yeah.

My name is LUCY and I LOVE my name! It reminds me of the show ‘I Love Lucy’ and it’s filled with light!

This name needs to be left in the 1950s where it belongs.

Lucy is usually a beautiful, pretty, sweet, and cute person's name. I like this name a lot!

Way too basic.

I really love 1-2 syllable classic girls names. Names like Lucy, Alice, Anna are a dream to me.

Pros:
Lovely. Classic. Suits a girl and a woman. Traditional. Beatrix Potter vibes. Narnia vibes. It's both sweet and timeless.

---

Cons:
There is currently a notorious and ongoing trial of nurse Lucy Letby who is accused of the murder and attempted murder of 17 babies in Chester, England. I imagine if found guilty there could be a Netflix drama based on the events given Netflix's penchant for turning all tragedies and famous true crime cases into TV shows. If you're in England and due to give birth this year or the next maybe give Lucy a miss. You could liken it to calling a boy born in 1979 America Ted. Otherwise it's just a great name.

Lucy is a true classic, perfectly feminine and classy. I could see this name on a 7 year old as much as a 70 year old. As for that Lucy Letby character mentioned a few comments down, well then! She's set to be the Lizzie Borden of the 21st century is she not?

Oh my, Lucy is now one of my favorite names. How would I describe Lucy? Sweet, tiny, dainty, pretty, spunky, sunny, saucy and beautiful! What's not to love? Lucy has the softest sound. It's cute and peachy. It has a wonderful meaning. Sometimes names can be inspiring. They can inspire stories and ideas and so much more. I don't think Lucy needs to be short for Lucille or Lucinda. Just Lucy is just perfect. It reminds me of so many things - summer sunshine, the color yellow, light itself, the early hominid, diamond-like stars, sweet little girls. It matches the whimsy and sweet sentiment of Alice while holding its own against Emma and Ella. I LOVE LUCY.

Lucy is such a cute name it means light. It is so beautiful and simple yet sort of complex.

Lucy is a beautiful name! It is cute and awesome! It is simply amazing. I strongly suggest this name it means light.

My grandmother's name is Lucille and people have always used Lucy as a diminutive for that name. I didn't know that Lucy and Lucille were cognates rather than directly related until recently.
Besides my grandmother, my main association for the name Lucy is Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Cute and classic!

I like this name it reminds me of a loyal girl. But I honestly think it's too overrated.

How can anyone dislike Lucy? It’s sweet and simple, and like its meaning, so full of light! This has been one of my favourite names for years, and I still love. It works wonderfully by itself, but I love Luciana as a long form. Both beautiful, beautiful name. I’d use them to honour my grandfather Lucian.

Sooooo pretty.

I just think of that evil little girl from Charlie Brown.

Although I prefer Lucia, I think this name sounds very pretty. It’s also a good name for pets.

Lucy is not for the faint of heart or the weak. You must be pretty and classic to wear such a name! You idiots saying this name sounds like loo seat have no class. Don't you know the timeless band The Beatles wrote Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds inspired by a drawing by Lennon son Julian. Lucy is a class act, a regal and elegant free spirit. MY FAVORITE NAMES ARE LUCY AND ELEANOR LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!

Lucy is pretty and cute.

Lucy and Lucie are youthful classics that IMO are also a bit drippy.

Love, love, LOVE! I personally like Lucy as a stand-alone name. Although I have never cared for the names Lucille or Lucia, Lucy makes a great nickname for this. I have been OBSESSED with this name ever since I read of daring Lucy Pevensie and watched Lucille Ball on television. I think this name goes wonderfully with many middle names, but I personally wouldn't use it as a middle name. I love the name Luciana, and prefer the spelling of "Lucy" to "Luci". I'M OBSESSED!

This is my name and people at school used to call me Loo Seat or Loose, that is my only gripe otherwise I'm very pleased with it.

If I see one more movie where Lucy Hale plays a character named Lucy I am going to flip out. Why is she always named Lucy? The movies are also awful and scary so. I'd like to point out the real outrage of this situation- her name is Karen Lucille Hale. All Lucy's hate Lucilles. Unite with me and petition so that Lucille Hale is no longer playing any characters named Lucy!

I even like Lucia. I guess it's so pretty, timeless, and nice.

A sweet classic. Tiny bit sappy.

I can't say how much I love this name, and I can't say why either, because I just don't know. What a sweet little name!

People think this name is : classic, youthful, upper class, natural, wholesome, refined, simple, nerdy.
In my opinion, I think it is none of these. I think it is goofy at best.
Something about the name just really tickles my pickle.
Maybe it’s the fact it begins with L, and imo that’s one big L (frfr).
I think this name's saving grace is the u and the c and the y.
These are nice parts of the name.
But then again, the L really lets the whole shabang down!
It also sounds really bad when said in a thick Manchester accent. Very bad indeed (LEW-SAYY)
So, I suppose, if you do not live in Manchester and you don’t mind taking one big L, this name is perf for you!
I know one Lucy and she’s ok.
I know a song called Lucy which is bad.
All in all, the name is mid.

Lucy is a lovely little name.
There are a lot of songs called Lucy, which makes it special.
If you have a friend called Lucy ask if she has a pan au chocolate in her pocket (they usually all do).

Lucy is a lovely name, it means light.

Lucy is such an adorable name. I love it, and I especially love the sweet association with Lucille Ball ;) My aunt has always loved her too.

I think this name is so adorable if we didn’t already have one in the family I would have loved to have used it. Love it so much!

Lucy is a rather fresh, outdoorsy sort of name in my opinion.

I’ve always loved the name Lucy. It’s sweet and classic and ages well. I’ve loved it since watching Narnia when I was little. Now my dog is named Luci (short for Luciana). If my dog wasn’t named it, I would use it in a heartbeat.

Hello. My name is Lucy, and I hate liver.
This name is wonderful and I love it. To everyone saying this is a pet name- once someone named their dog after me when I was in preschool. Or it could have been a coincidence- but it wasn't.
I actually kinda hate this name sometimes because it's a girl's name and bland.
7/10 name.

Fresh, feminine and classic.

Yes it may be used as a pet name but who cares, it is also a beautiful girl name.

It has a lovely sound. Good name for a pet too.

Lucy is a name that ages well and has the imprint that a person with this name can still be a bit bossy but is still a ray of sunshine. The only downside is that Lucy is the feminine version of Lucius. When I hear the latter, I can't help but think of Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter series and he acts like an overrated version of Trump. Even without the association with Lucius, the name still is a peachy and sunshiny name that should be used. For people with this name, remember that you are lucky to have such a beautiful name.

Lucy Lucy Lucy. A name I could say forever. I would die for a Lucy. Who wouldn't? Lucy is like an emerald on ice. It reminds me of raindrops on fairywings doused in sprinkles. Lucy is a socialist, though never speaks of her political sway, but my oh my. She seems like an angel on a Tuesday morning ready to prepare thyme and rosemary for a roast lamb for a family meal, but rather she is scoffing yorkshire pudding because she has no self control. One has no choice but to indulge in the flavour of Lucy!

Lucy, where do I begin. A name of bird songs and the freshest of summer fruits. If you are lucky enough to come across a Lucy cherish as they are rare creatures.

The only Lucy that I know is a brat and very snobby. Although I do like this name for a dog!

I really like this name. Well, I used to not like it very much, but I read Chronicles of Narnia and immediately loved the character Lucy Pevensie. I think this ages well, and is a classic name that deserves just as much recognition in the old fashioned name department as Elizabeth or Katherine.

Short, sweet, gentle, and girly. I like it, and it is also my cousin's name.

A sweet, timeless name. Lucy, Eleanor and Penelope are definitely the trending "It" names though and I think they're all about to have a moment.

Nope. Despise! I picture a snobbish brat girl who thinks that she can have everything.

Classic yet girly name that I'm glad to possess.

For me the name Lucy will always be for a little girl because of the Narnia books, Lucy Pevensie. But I also see it as a name that ages very well and never goes out of style. It also works very well as a nickname, in case you prefer a longer name like Lucinda, Lucille, Lucía, Lucilla, Lucienne, Luciana, etc.

Sweet youthful name it is classic but with a modern feel much like Alice and Emily.

I... love it!

Another name I used to hate, but had a change of mind. It's really pretty.

I like this name, I would never personally use it, but it’s not all bad. It reminds me of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, that cool Beatles' song.

Along with its variant spelling Lucie, what a fine name this is. It’s not only a pretty name but every one I’ve known has left a great impression.

This has been in my top five for a very long time.

An adorable frilly young child, a sweet, beautiful high-school girl, a patient, kind, young mother, an attractive middle-aged woman, a kind grandmother, you got it here on Lucy.

Beautiful!

Pretty name. I don't know why people say this is a childish name. The only people named Lucy that I've known were women of all ages. The name certainly aged well on those ladies. I've never met or known of a child named Lucy, although I think the name would be cute on a child, too.

Lucinda is better.

Mean and bitchy girl in middle school name.

Loose-y.

Childish-sounding.

It does not mean LSD.

Lucy is my given name. I believe that it is swell. It fully captures my essence. I once had a cat named Lucy. We were name twins. Then she passed away. It was quite sad, I'm gonna be very honest with you. I won't add anymore details about that. Lol. :/ There can only be one Lucy. Ha.

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

I used to have a cat named Lucy. It's a very sweet name.

So sweet.

Lucy sounds sweet and pretty.

I really like this name. If you're searching a classic name that doesn't sound pretentious Lucy is a beautiful choice. A solid classic name.

Lucy is the sort of name that belongs to gracefully elegant women.

I don't see how people find this name annoying! I think it's quite a sweet lovely name.

As for how I imagine a Lucy, when I think of this name I see a woman in her early 20's, 23 maybe. She's quite tall, not overly tall, but, I don't know, perhaps about 170-75 cm. She has thick, dark blond hair, and dark blue eyes, her skin is rather light but not extremely pale and she gets tanned easily. She's very shapely and feminine but also makes an impression of a strong, fit and healthy person. This is just how I imagine a Lucy, not how I think all Lucies are or should be like.

I only find Lucy fitting on a little girl. I can't really picture a grown woman/high schooler/college student with the name Lucy.

I love the name Lucy! It seems to be very popular across the English-speaking world, so I think it's a bit more original to use it as a nickname for something longer - like Lucinda for example - but it's lovely anyway. I love it far more than our Polish Łucja which is pronounced WOOTS-yah. I think Lucy has this short and sweet nice feel to it, which makes it good for a little girl, but at the same time it doesn't sound nicknamey to me, it's quite elegant and classy and that's why I guess it ages so well and fits well even an elderly lady. I also think that Lucy can fit women with really differing personalities. It is gentle and girly but not frilly. And it goes well in combos, both as a first and a middle name. Here in Poland Lucy is much more common for dogs than humans, I've heard of at least three, but also I know one woman named Lucyna, and one named Łucja, who are sometimes called Lucy, sort of jokingly as a nickname. I can think of only one Lucy that I've come across personally, albeit fleetingly, but because the name is so common it's possible that there have been more. This name makes me think of The Beatles' song.

Scarlett Pomers plays a girl named Lucy in Slappy and the Stinkers movie and I think Lucy Rose would be nice combo for a girl!
Also, how about another name combo Lucy Josephine for a girl? I think either Lucy Josephine or Lucy Rose would be a nice name combo for a girl!

Hello I am Lucy and I think it a very beautiful name. This is my personal impression of the name.

---

L for lucky
U for u have lots of friends
C for come and play
Y for you are amazing

My sister is called Lucy and she is quite nice to me. This is my impression of the name:

---

L is for lovely
U is for u are rockin' this girl!
C is for can ya stop me?
Y is for yayyyyyy!

Thanks for reading!

By Megan :3.

I think Lucy is a name that has a rather vintage appeal that I personally like and I do see it age well on a little girl and into adulthood.

I hate it when people call me Lucy, my real name is Lucina. Call me Lucina or Cina.

I have the name Lucy and it is the feminine version of Lucius and it means light or born at dawn. It has 2 major spellings Lucie or Lucy. A common nickname for people with this name is Lucy Goosie. In the 6th grade I also got the nickname Lucyfer (spelled that way) as in the devil. I loved it because Lucy can seem girly at times.

I have the name Lucy, and I love it. I also like how it means light. But I don't really like how people think it is girly and cute. I don't want to be thought of as that. But I was called Lulu when I was younger. I also was called, Lucy Goosey. I didn't really like that, but I didn't hate it either. I am happy to have the name Lucy!

Lucy is such a good, wondrous and pretty name! 10/10!

Lucy is attractive on so many levels: both saucy and solid, a saint's name and heroine of several great novels. I also like the association with the psychedelic Beatles song!

---

Some names with a similar "feel" are Dina, Dora, Ella, Emmy, Lily, Lise, Mina, Posy, and Ruby.

Sounds bratty and devilish. Isn't Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds about LSD?

A sweet, soft and feminine name that I positively adore. The "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" association is a positive thing in my opinion. I also like the name "Penny" because of the song "Penny Lane". As you can tell, I'm a Beatles fan. I'm roundly considering this as a nickname for my child, but I'm unsure of what full name to use.

My youngest sister is named Lucy. Yes, she gets the “Lucy in the sky with diamonds “ singalongs on occasion, but she loves her name! We don’t know any other Lucy's, however people are familar with her name!

This name is similar to Emily but in a blue and innocent way, rather than a pink and girly way. Pretty combination.

I love the name Lucy. It's very English sounding and simple and feminine and a beautiful name. I also love it for a short form for Lucinda too :)

My name is Lucy, and whilst my name is a fairly good one, I don't particularly like it. I've always thought of it as too childish- the "y" ending gives the impression of a diminutive suffix- and my friends always nicknamed me "Loo" in school. I also got "Lucy Goosey" quite a lot, which wasn't fun at all. On the upside, the meaning of "light" is quite a good one, and translates beautifully into Slavic and Greek. All in all, however, I tend to go by my nom de plume- Kara- as my middle name of May isn't really that great either in my opinion.

Naming your daughter after Lucifer is a sin, but at least it is egalitarian in its feminist idea that women can be as evil as men.

And how exactly is that a sin? Lucy is a form of Lucius, not Lucifer. Two different names. By the way, not everyone is Christian, you know. It may be a "sin" to you, but not to some others (including me).

Lucy is a pretty cool name to me. Reminds me of Scarlett Johansson's character from the 2014 film of the same name.

I love the name Lucy. It's very girly, dainty and pretty. However, I don't think it would age well. Could you see a forty-year old woman named Lucy? Also, I'm not a big fan of what it's short for. I hate the names Lucille and Lucia.

I love this beautiful, classic name. There are many positive associations, including Lucy from the Narnia series, and Lucy Lightfoot. It is also the name of the protagonist in my WIP (novel).

This is an old favorite of mine. Lucy is such a cute name for a girl! I'm not a fan of the long names like Lucille or Lucia, but Lucy is perfect on its own. When the girl is little you can call her Lulu, which is also an adorable name.

Like Charlotte, Lucy is a gorgeous name for a girl/woman.

The name Lucy is cute, dainty and pretty! I have a dog named Luci but it's pronounced the same as Lucy is. Her full name is Luciana. If I ever have a child I would name her Lucy Rose and then my surname.

Lucy is the best name ever. I am a Lucy and I love it. The name does age well and it isn't a little girl's name. :D.

This name DOES NOT age well! It's a child's name!

I would have liked Luke and Lucy more than Luke and Leia.

This is our family dog's name, so that's primarily what comes to mind when I hear it -- a dog. Of course, it's not a bad name for a human at all, though it's a little plain and boring. I don't hear much originality in the name Lucy, and I prefer Lucinda or Lucia, as they sound much prettier.

This is my favourite name. It's so sweet and I have a cousin Lucy (she's a great person). Every Lucy which I know is great. Lucy Pevensie is my favourite character from books and she has a great personality too. This name is also simple to pronounce and write. It's so cute!

I like how it's associated with Lucy Pevensie as The Chronicles of Narnia series is cool. Lucy sounds sweet, girly and pretty. :)

This name is kind of annoying, I don't know why, but it reminds me of a spoilt little girl who wants to be treated to everything.

I have a love and hate relationship with Lucy. For example, when I think of Lucy I am reminded of the name Lucifer and how they share the same beginning and meaning. Also, there's a tv show called Lucy about satan's daughter. But at the same time I love the sound of it and it's just so classy to me. Also, it's filled with history of a saint named Lucy, around during the BC era. I don't know many names with that history and I can't forget I love Lucy but most likely I'll use the male version Lucian or I'll just use it as a middle name.

I think Lucy is pretty much the perfect girl's name! It is short and sweet, but not at all boring. It's feminine and pretty but a little bit quirky too. I just love this name, if you can't tell ;)

This is my daughters name and it fits her perfectly! When she was born everyone loved the name not too popular and still a classic old fashion name that will grow with her and is also cute and fun and so adorable just like her:-)

I love this name! It's my daughter's name. Well actually her full name is Lucina, like Luci-na. But she also goes by Luci. She loves both names, and there isn't anyone else in school with her name. But has never been picked on for it either. I love the bringer of light meaning. And to top it all off Lucille was my favorite Grandmother's middle name, so she's kinda named after her.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. :-)

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

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

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.

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

Cute, I would call my child Lucy.

Ugly and Lucia is way better!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Sweet and pretty.

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.

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."

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. : )

I always thought Lucy was a nickname for Lucille.
