Help[Opinions] Re: Lucy
in reply to a message by *Brogan*
I've always liked Lucy--like Lucy and Ricky and Lucy Van Pelt. :) It's spunky and sweet and just very nice. And then there's St. Lucia, who has more significance for me than you, but she bears mentioning anyway. ;)
I prefer Lucy as a full name. I like plenty of longer Luce- names--Lucinda, Lucille, Lucienne, etc--but I get irritated by people using them as means to Lucy. It's unnecessary in the extreme; Lucy is already a perfectly valid, perfectly workable first name, and it doesn't need to have a "full" name to be taken seriously. I don't know why it bothers me when people do that with Lucy and not so much with other names...but it does, lol.
Lucy Ophelia and Lucy Adelaide are both pretty. Lucy Violet, Lucy Antonia, Lucy Rowena, Lucy Arabel, Lucy Paloma, Lucy Regina, Lucy Tabitha, Lucy Musette...there're plenty of nice combos that can be made with Lucy.
I'd rather see Ivy, Cyprian, and Lucy if given the choice, but I won't quibble with you over Sebastian and Lilah today. ;)

I forgot to tell you that I met a girl named Ivy! She was about 11, and it suited her nicely.
Musette- never heard of it, but it's nice!
Lucienne- hmm, prn?
I agree with you about Lucy not needing a full name. I'm fighting with myself about Sophia/Sophie- does Sophie need Sophia? Same thing with Lucy, although I'm thinking that Lucy doesn't need Lucille.
At first I thought that Cyprian was Caspian, but hm. I've never heard of Cyprian. You're providing me with tons of new names today, thanks! :)

On Musette: Well, Musetta's in La Boheme (she's the operatic equivalent of Maureen in RENT--they make various references in the musical to Musetta's Waltz, which is "Quando m'en vo" from the opera), and I assume one can thus do Musette. I think it's pretty, though I also think it's probably better as a mn, heh.
Lucienne: loo-see-enn. A bit of a stress on the final syllable, but not too strong of one. I think it's really pretty--and check out its popularity run! How's that for a good sign? ;)
Sophie doesn't need Sophia any more than Molly needs Mary. I have to admit I slightly prefer Sophie as a nn, but I certainly think it stands alone well.
Cyprian's an old favourite of mine. I have a character by that name, and he has a sister named Aglaia. I always liked their names. :)
Array (always glad to hear about a real-life Ivy)
I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

HA! YES! That's what I thought of, the waltz ;) Thanks for the clarification.
