Don't like Lucy Lillian. too many L's. I like the other 2 but I voted for Jane because it flows just a tad better than Elizabeth. I think a part of it is the L thing again.
I like the sound of Lucy Jane. But Lucy is more common and I think a lot of people would use Lucy Jane. So there may be 2 Lucy janes in her class. Then again I only think Lucy is popular here. Lol
Lucy Jane is darling and flows well into the last name. Plus, your MIL will love it, won't she? I'd just stick with what you've planned. I tend to start over thinking names at 30+ weeks but have always just calmed my shit and gone with what we've already decided.
Our oldest is Lucille Isabella. The Isabella was a nod to my middle name Elizabeth. They are related, Isabella is the Italian version. Maybe you can give a nod with a name that is related like that?
I feel strongly about family names as well as family equality. C has a MN from my grandfather, P has a MN from H's grandfather. I just didn't want to open the door to any complaints.

I really like Lucy Elizabeth. And while Jane is from your H's side and would "even" things out between your 2 kids, I wouldn't worry about that too much. Personally, I hope to have some nod to my side of the family with all of our kids names (DS's first is a family name from my side and if we have another, their middle will also be from my side). I figure DS (and future kids) has H's last name .
I like Lucy Jane next and don't love Lucy Lillian.
I honestly would throw the whole "flow" thing to the wind and use the name that holds the most meaning to you. That's what the mn spot is for, IMO.
The more I look at it, I can't stand the flow of DS's FN & MN, but the story behind his MN will never get old, so I deal (DD picked it and was pretty adamant about it).
I actually like Lucy Elizabeth the most. Lucy Jane is just too plain for my liking. I think Elizabeth is beautiful and compliments Lucy without taking away from the name.
