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 Smile

    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!Stick out tongue)

    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.
