Baby Names

Pronounciation

I think I know how to pronounce Lucia (loo-see-ah)? Am I right? But I'm not sure I'm pronouncing Luciana correctly? I've only ever heard these names on this board and I think I love them (depending on pronunciation, of course). Thanks in advance!

  • Lucia can be pronounced Loo-see-ah, Loo-chee-ah or loo-sha

    I believe Luciana can be said a few different ways as well-- Loo-chan-nah or Loo-chee-ah-nah are two common pronunciations of that name.  I am sure there are others.

  • It depends if you want them to sound Spanish or Italian. Where I'm from (Italy) we pronounce them Loo-chee-ah and Loo-cha-na.

  • In my head I was pronouncing Luciana as loo-see-anna

    Is it weird for someone to use who is not Spanish or Italian. French girl here :)

    French is a romance language-- so not at all IMO.

    In that case you'd have to put a cute little accent on the last ah sound when you pronounce it. Like when you say "ça va" in French. It's too sweet to hear my French relatives do that with my name :)
