Help[Opinions] Re: Lucia
in reply to a message by )(
I don't know what I like or don't like anymore because there are so many different pronunciations and form of this name.
But there is one thing I'm sure about: I can't stand LOO-shə.

There are two main pronounces:
Loo-SEE-a (Spanish)
and
Loo-CHEE-a (Italian) (the ch like in "cherry").
It's simple.

When I was a kid, I thought loo-TSEE-a /luː.ˈtsiː.a/ is the right 'authentic' one, (dunno where it came from, it sounded 'proper' Latin* to me).
*BtN says LOO-kee-a is Latin.
