Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds


Lucy is if Latin origin and means light, the feminine form of Lucius.

I have to admit that Lucy has been a favourite of mine for a while. I love that it is so simple.

Scrolling through my list I noticed that I had a number of different forms of Lucy. Some of the names listed below I must admit, are quite far away from the original form of Lucy and all have different sentiments.

When I think of Lucy I see a sweet little daddies girl, with blonde hair, and doe eyes. Lucianna I start to think of a more outgoing dare-devil. Lucille is very strait laced. Lulu though, conjures up images of family pets.

My favourites are Lucinda and Lucia. Anyone have a particular favourite form of Lucy listed or unlisted for a girl or boy?

Lucian is definitely my favourite!

Lucian sounds demonic to me, since it's the name of one of the characters in the movie Underworld. Not a nice guy.

Aww, evershine; Lucian's the most sympathetic character in the "Underworld" seies and easily my favorite character ever!

I do prefer Lucius, because I live in the States and am heartily sick & tired of two syllables, ends in "N" names. They are everywhere here!
And where is Lucretia? She's a Luc- name. :) I know Lucretia's not everyone's cup of tuna but she's legit. And ancient.

I like Luc names, almost all of them, but those two are the two I'd use!
