Baby girl is coming soon and we are at a complete loss for middle names, and just barely set on the first name. Lucia (pronounced the Spanish way with an /s/) is the first name we have agreed on. Suggestions for middle names? Ruth (my grandmother) was a brief option. Others that were tossed around but vetoed (or are still possibilities?):
Belle Caroline Luna Lu Mabel Hazel Magnolia Willow Pearl Rae Joy
The meaning of Lucia is light, so the hippy part of me wants something to compliment the meaning (e.g. "Moon" for Luna). DD1 is Elena Leigh ("Light" "Field" or... Field of light). But it's obviously not a requirement.
We are also still open to first name suggestions. Lucia and Elena (nn Ellie) seem to flow well together (possibly Lucy and Ellie if that's the way it goes). Other possibilities were: Sylvia, Nina, Mila (or Camila).
My daughter is Lucy do I'm partial to that name! We call her Lu and it's a perfect nickname. Lucy Ruth is adorable. And if we ever have another daughter my #1 choice is Elena, so I also think those goes really well together.
I really liked Lucia Claire and Lucia Jane too! But those are DH's SIL (aka the devil) and his stepmothers name so they are most definitely out. Nice rec's though!
I like Lucia but immediately think of the Scandinavian pronunciation. I think I like Rae best for a MN. I would stay away from L names, especially Lu as it's way too similar.
I vote for Lucia Belle and Lucia Joy. I like Lucia a lot, especially as you referred to the Spanish pronunciation. I would be prepared for people to default to using the "sh" pronunciation, though. You'll need to correct them.
I like Sylvia a lot too. Syl or Sylvie are cute!
Me: 1979 * Husband: 1976 * Little girl: 2010 * Little guy: 2013 * MMC: 2016 * Last baby: EDD 2/11/17!
