    How do you pronounce Luciana?

    Lucy-ana or the Italian way, Lu-chi-ana?

    I am liking this name, but I prefer Lucy-ana. However my DH is Italian and his family would pronounce it Lu-chi-ana.

    Its the name of Matt Damons wife, I just saw her name mentioned and thought it was a beautiful name. She is Italian, so I assume she pronounces it Lu-chi-ana. Which is lovely, and fitting for my DH and his side of the family. But I just dont know seeing as I am not Italian myself, but I definately have an Italian last name these days lol.

    I'd say loo-chee-AH-na
    ETA: that's assuming it's Italian. If it was Spanish it maybe Lucy-ahna

    It's all in the origin, Lucian I'd say Lucy-an or Lu-shun

    It's so tricky though!
