[Opinions] Re: Katia and Lucia
in reply to a message by Elle
I think it is a cute sibset, but like Kristen I prefer to spell Katia as Katya or Katja. I also think that the mn's seem a bit like filler mn's, but they are cute and strong and seem to work well.
I have heard Lucia pronounced Loosha but more often I have heard it pronounced Loo-chee-uh, which I believe is a legitimate pronunciation. I will look into it, but before you decide on a pronunciation you should look into it more. It would be horrible if you name a child something and someone corrects you on the pronunciation after the child already has the name!

I am right, the Italian pronunciation of Lucia is Loo-chee-uh. Both of the other pronunciations you mentioned are also correct, but if I were you I wouldn't use the Loo-see-uh pronunciation...it just doesn't sound right.
