Help[Opinions] Re: Luiseach
in reply to a message by Stacia
I thought Luiseach was pronounced LEE-sak, but I've never heard of anyone with that name, nor heard any authority pronounce it. Like an Irish person. :) I'd imagine, like a lot of Irish names, the pronunciation can vary based on where you're from.
Are you pronouncing Lucia LOO-see-ə or LOO-shə? I'd pronounce it the latter, and I prefer that pronunciation. I'm generally not a fan for altering spelling for aesthetics. I'd stick to Lucia, but Lusea doesn't look terrible. Have you considered Louisa?
I like Lucy, but not really any longer Luc- names. Luiseach looks cool (because I like Irish names), but I don't like the sound of it.

I'm not a proponent of respelling normally, either. But for some reason...*shrug*
I usually pronounce Lucia Loo-See-eh. Which is funny, because that's how people always try to pronounce MY name, and I have to correct them. I don't really like Louisa. Louise is my mom and my grandma's middle name, and neither of them really liked it. Primarily for the nickname Wheezy, which stuck to both of them!
I do, however, like Lucinda. I waffle back and forth, loving it and liking it.
