How do you pronounce LUCIA?

Question

I hear different pronounciations. I am confused. ☹️️

Answer

I believe the last two pronounciations will different depending on where you are from and what language you speak (ie, Catalan vs Italian). I've never heard the first pronounciation.

Answer

Being Spanish, I had always pronounced it Lu-C-ah but now I nanny a little girl for an Italian family and they pronounce it Lu-Chi-ah

Answer

My daughter's name is Lucia. We pronounce it "Loo-see-uh" so basically your 2nd option. My understanding is that the Italian pronounciation is Loo-chee-uh while the Spanish pronounciation is Loo-see-uh. I'm not sure who pronounces it Loo-Sha, I know that is how it is pronounced for a last name often and the Island is pronounced that way but that is actually the most often mispronounciation we get for her name. And I hate that pronounciation, it doesn't sound feminine.
