I like it, but I prefer the Italian prn. In Sweden we pronounce it luh-see-ah, but it's not very common here, probably because it's so strongly associated with the feast of Sankta Lucia (December 13th). I've only met one Lucia so far.

I like it well enough, prefer the simpler Lucy but Lucia is pretty

I like it, and more in the Spanish than Italian pronounciation, in spite of being Italian.

I don't love the loo-SEE-ah pronunciation, for the same reason I dislike Cecilia. The "see" sound is cold to me, I guess. I like Lucia a lot when pronounced LOO-sha.

I really like it, and as Loo-see-uh too. The only pronunciation I really dislike is Loo-shuh. Anyway, I think it's elegant, and sophisticated, but fun and energetic too. I gar more interesting and exotic alternative to Lucy. I love the meaning too.

Hi !!!

I dislike Lucia...
It is too formal and heavy imo.

But I like two variants...
Lucilla -with ch-
Lucinda -Spanish pr-

I keep thinking about this name lately too. I've sort of disliked it for a long time because I do not like the "loose" sound, and have had a negative image of Lucy forever. But in Lucia, the emphasis is on the SEE part. I guess it tends to become Lucy anyway, but even that is not bothering me as much as it used to.

It still feels Italian to me when it has 3 syllables. Not that Italian is bad, just that it seems specific - like, I kind of expect Lucia to be an Italian or Italian-American.

Well, it's OK with me. Still not a favorite. I think it'd fit in as a baby name, what with the trend of Sofia, Isabella, Gabriella, Olivia, etc. that has been going on.

I like Lucia (either pronunciation) although I wonder if Lucy would be the default nn. It just feels so natural here. I think Lucia is elegant and has a happy feel to it. I can't picture an unhappy Lucia, lol.
