What do you think of Lux as a nickname for Lucy? They're both ultimately derived from the same word- Latin lux "light".

I don't think Lux makes a good nickname for Lucy, because they're pronounced differently, Luh-ks and Lou-cee.
Then if you're planning on pronouncing it Lou-ks, then in that case it would be good.
But I'm afraid after The Virgin Suicide (movie) Lux has spread as Luh-ks, like the character in it.

but people often have the nickname peggy for margaret. i don't understand that either.

i like it....... and when she gets older you can explain it to her, and she might like it a lot more than being called "luce".


i think it's nice.

I think it's probably the best nickname for Lucy, if there has to be one.

I like Lux alot better than Luce (Loose!) as a nickname for Lucy.

I agree, plus I don't really like Lux as a whole name so using it as a nickname for Lucy is great

Makes perfect sense to me. :)

I like Lux (also a great character in the book The Virgin Suicides)

personally i see lucy as a nickname itself to lucia. lux i dont see how that comes into play with lucy is there really a relation?

I like it. Lucy is such a great name; Thomas Jefferson had a baby girl named Lucy Elizabeth that died at birth. I love Lux, too, esp as a nn for Lucy.

The only thing that keeps me from using Lucy myself is the I Love Lucy connection.

Mine is the Seventh Heaven connection. Then again, I love Ruth and Mary, too. Sigh. Damn show.

[mercuryisme.livejournal.com]

I love it!

Isn't Lux the name of the really rebellious sister in The Virgin Suicides?

[purple-lamb-lol.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like that connection lol.

I've always liked the name, I'd use it on it's own. I can see it working nicely as a nickname for Lucy too.
