Help[Opinions] Re: Lucille
in reply to a message by Lily
It's pretty old fashioned. Like Howard and Walter and Patricia. It's my mn, honoring an aunt who was born in the 20's, so yes, I'm nearly ancient, too, and while I was growing up I hid the fact that this was my mn, I was embarrassed.
And then there was comedian Lucille Ball, I think a love/hate kid of situation. She often riffed on women's roles by being really ditzy, so that kind of blew Lucille as a name for future scholars, justices, etc., if you're into that kind of litmus test for names.
But you're onto something. Lucy, Lucienne, Lucia: why not Lucille?
I'm with you on Elaine, as well. I love it and prefer it to Lane. Not sure that Bay goes with them in the least bit, style-wise, but I can see where you're going sound-wise.
