Moms of Lucys

Is your daughter's name Lucy, or did you go with a different given name (Lucille, Lucia, etc.) and use Lucy as a nickname? Lucy is one of our top name choices, but we keep going back and forth if a formal name is needed. FWIW, we would call her Lucy and not the longer name.

Just Lucy.

I have an Aunt Lucille, so that would've been weird. And I don't like Lucinda or Lucia.

Just Lucy. I am super anti-nickname--my given name is one thing but I have gone by another name my whole life and it's always confusing which name I should use. I hate being called by my given name at doctor's appointments, etc., so Lucy is just Lucy. (DD1 also has a non-nicknameable name.)

Hehe, our top girl name too. We would just go with Lucy.

Lucy Ann....Fell in love with Lucy and then added Ann

I love the name Lucia, but a friend with the name used to get teased with "ch-ch-ch-chia" a lot. Maybe we're far enough out from that? IDK

Just Lucy. I call her Lu and Lulu for short. We do call her Lucille when she's being fussy. Ha.

Not a Lucy mom, but I have a similar name set up and this girl is getting a non nicknameable name too.

Did I miss something?! I thought you were team green!

Ha ha, ours is Cora Lucille. We most often call her Cora Lu.
