Help[Opinions] Re: Luiseach
in reply to a message by Stacia
I prefer Lucia, but it has so many ways to pronounce it, I'm not sure which one you're using. I'm assuming you're pronouncing it the last of these 3:
loo-CHEE-ah
LOO-shə
loo-SEE-ə
I think if you use the last of those phonetics, you'll get the effect you want without having to change the the spelling, and that's the pronunciation I usually think of automatically when I see it written.
Luiseach has the same meaning only in the root of the word at its basest, but I don't think that it's fair to say that the names are much the same. I don't particularly like it, but I tend to drift away from Celtic names, no matter how much I want to like them. I guess this is a tough question... if you really want to use that name but don't like the look of the letter C, them maybe just change that one letter? Lusia...? If you just fall more and more in love with Luiseach, than stick with it. I'm just not sure if it is supposed to be pronounced the same as, or even close enough to Lucia.
