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.

I would say Lu-chi-ana, gorgeous name

I would actually have pronounced it "Lu-shi-ana".

I'm with Ahurani.Lu-chi-ana

Lu-chi-arna or Lu-shi-arna would be mine...

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.

A gf of mine named their daughter Luciana, neither of them are Italian, she just loved the name :)

I would also pronoune Lu chi ana
Lucia is also nice.

I would pronounce it Lucy - Ana (Arna)

Babyluv thats how I want it pronounced.

Limeslice how does your friend pronounce it?

Also DH's late grandmother was Lucia (Lu-chia) so thats why I know his whole family would say Lu-Chi-Arna. I guess it doesnt matter a whole heap really.

Luchiana. She gets called Luchia though anyway lol

It's such a pretty name :D

I pronounce it "Lu-shi-arna" when I see it. Pretty name either way!

Oh gosh, so many different ways to say it lol! I guess it doesnt matter, our DD's name gets pronounced wrong quite often and it doesnt bother me one bit. She would probably get Luci 99% of the time anyway, as we have shortened our DD's too.

Another for Lu-chi-arna, but I have an Italian background.

REALLY? :shakehead:

I would say Lu-chi-ana. Like Luciano, but the girls version. Until you told me otherwise, then I'd get it right :D

yep another for Lu-chi-ana :D

btw love the name, just gorgeous :heartbeat:

I'd say Loo-see-ah-nah... But Loo-chi-ana is okay too :)

I'm Italian so it would be Lu-chi-ana for me, beautiful name.

i'd read it as the italian way...but having an italian husband does corrupt ones perspective lol.

I read it as Lucy-arna. But apparently I can't be trusted to pronounce names correctly!

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!
