Lucy is short for ...?

We love the name Lucy but are still trying to figure out what her formal name will be.  What are your thoughts on Lucille or Lucia?

I think Lucy would be fine by itself, but of those two, I prefer Lucille.  Really lovely name!

I like Lucia (pronounced Lou-chi-a, not so much Lou-see-a)

I'm naming my baby Lucy and not using a longer name. I've heard Lucinda as another option to those you listed.

Lucy is short for...umm Lucy?

No, just kidding

We were going back and forth between Luciana/Lucia or Lucy, and we ended up picking Lucy.

I had a very Italian classmate named Luciana (Lu-chee-ah-na) and have recently run into a Lucia (Lu-Chee-Ah) as well.   My dog is named Lucy and we call her Lucinda, Lucille (and when we're really ticked at her Lucy-fur!)

Just go with Lucy if you like it.

I think Lucia (Loo-sha) is gorgeous!

Lucille! Love it!  I wouldn't do just Lucy.  That is a nickname, not a full first name.

One of my baby name books says that Lucille is actually a nn for Lucy. Who knows?

I've heard this a lot, which is interesting because it never occurred to me as it would for a nickname like Katie. Lucy is actually one of the top names in the UK - just Lucy, on its own.

I LOVE Lucia- Pronounced (Loo-see-ah)

My niece is named Lucette and I think thats cute too.?
