I really like the name Lucy. The problem is that I see it as a nickname for Lucille, and I don't like Lucille. Therefore I would never use just Lucy, because I can't stand nicknames used as full names. I'm just such a stickler for that. I don't care how long a name has been used in its own right, if it started out as a nickname, I still see it as a nickname. I even feel that way about Janet, which started out as a nickname for Jane. So that's the only problem I have with Lucy. It is really sweet and so quaintly old-fashioned.
