Baby Name Poll Results

I would NEVER have thought of that connection. In my opinion you are very much over-thinking. Lucy and Evie are adorable together.

I agree. Never once would that be my first thought. Are you religious? The only reason I am asking is that if you were around church and church goers, yeah maybe someone would mention it. But honestly I don't think they will. Lucy is a darling name and fits so perfectly with Evie. It's a bit too late imo to change her name since she's old enough to know what her name is.

You are over-thinking this in a big way. I was completely confused about what your daughters' names had to do with the Garden of Eden story until the last part of your post. It's a major stretch to associate those things. There's no reason to change her name.

I grew up going to church and seeing Lucy and Evie I never would have thought Lucy correlated to lucifer.
As she gets older if she herself decides she doesn't like it maybe she could go by her middle name or put first and middle together.
Another option if you choose to keep her as Lucy, as she gets older if she does really hate her name maybe you can have an age set where she could decide to change her name on her own.
I know a family who had a daughter Bambi and when she got to a certain age she was allowed to legally change her name to Bethany.

Thank you! Yes, we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ. We study the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Adam and Eve story is talked about quite a bit. I've been trying to get my husband to change her name since she was 2 months old. But she is getting too old now. I wondered if we re-name her Elizabeth but could call her "Lizzie" which is close to Lucy.

I'm prepared to just let it go if the majority think I am worrying too much. I do love her name so much. Just feeling like a mama bear. :)

Lucy is a beautiful name and I think she is definitely too old to change it anyways. I agree that you're massively overthinking it and there is absolutely no issue with her name at all.

I did not make that connection and you may not get the judge's approval. Personally, I do not think (if it were me) it's worth the amount of time and money it will cost. If she had a name that just wasn't an actual name or something embarrassing that'd be one thing. Again, I'm referring to myself. If this truly bothers, you. I'd make a petition to the court. The sooner, the better, but again you may not get the approval. I do agree that you are way overthinking this. Do you possibly have baby name regret? Lucy is an absolutely beautiful name. Good luck.

Evie and Lucy are so sweet together. I never would have made an Eve and Lucifer connection.

THANK YOU!! We names her Lucy because she was our rainbow baby after two miscarriages. We feel she is our "light" in a dark time and feel so "Lucky" to have her. I cannot tell you how much peace this gives me. Sometimes we get something stuck in our minds and it becomes bigger than it should be, you know? But you all make great observations and I'm so relieved. Time to let this issue go. Thank u! God bless ❤️

I would not have ever connected Lucy to the garden of Eden. I had to really think about it, even after reading your post. If you really want, call her Lucia or a double name, like Lucy-Marie or Lucy-Elaine.

I admit I'm not religious, but I also would have never made that connection with the two names

I am being totally honest here, and I apologize in advance for the bluntness of what I am about to say, but it sounds like Lucy stands to be far more traumatized by her mother's mental issues than by her name. Maybe talk to a therapist about this and see what you think in a few months.

It's not something that would cross my mind when seeing girls named Evie and Lucy. I doubt many (if any) other people would think of it, either.

It can be easy for a person to let something worry them and not realize that they've blown it out of proportion. I'm thinking that may what's happened here.

Relax and enjoy your girls. Their names are perfectly fine, both individually and together.

Sounds like you have severe anxiety it's really not that serious

I think you need therapy not to be mean. Religion causes unnecessary paranoia and its really sad!!

I have been in church my entire life and I was very confused how Lucy is associated with the Garden of Eden until I read you're entire description. Lucy is a cute name! You are definitely overthinking this!! I wouldn't worry about it and keep her name as is 😊

As others have said, there is absolutely no reason to change your daughter's name.

Lucy is NOT a Biblical name. Lucy is not in the story of Adam and Eve. Even Lucifer by that name is not in the story. He's only called "the serpent." If you read to your child directly from the Bible, and not from other sources, there is no way she's going to have a negative association about her name in that regard. Lucy and Lucifer are nowhere close in my mind, even if you did happen to read a version where Lucifer is mentioned. What translation of the Bible are you reading? Mine does not mention Lucifer whatsoever. I had to look up quite a few different translations before I found one that used Lucifer at all, and that was only one verse in Isaiah, nowhere near the Adam & Eve story in Genesis. I have not read the Book of Mormon so maybe Lucifer is more highlighted by name there? At any rate, I don't think you have anything to worry about, and if you're concerned just stick to the Bible. Try the NIV or the ESV translations, for example. I've also never seen Lucifer mentioned by name in any of the children's Bibles my kids have had.

Here's a better thought. Lucy = light. John 8:12 "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" Highlight that if she follows Jesus she will have light and life! Remember to teach your children the most important things in life and be there to guide them when they do stumble across something difficult. I know we want to protect our children from even the possibility of harm, but that is impossible. Sooner or later it will happen and you'll want to make sure you have a great relationship with your child so you can be trusted to help her learn to handle life's challenges. Her name is unlikely to be one of them.

You are thoroughly overthinking this. Lucy is adorable and I've never associated it with Lucifer. Ever. She will be fine.

Everyone LOVES a little a girl named Lucy. The name is a day brightener! I'm sure she's adorable and puts a smile on everyone's faces. Lucy is a beautiful bright lovely name. Be proud. Perfect name!

I think you are overthinking this. I am a Christian and go to church weekly and I never would have made the association you are worried about. Lucy is a lovely name.

Do not worry about this for another second. I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I never would have associated Lucy with Lucifer. Especially since he has so many other names that he is more well known by. Lucy and Evie are two wonderful names and go beautifully together. You have two beautiful daughters with lovely names. Your daughters are blessed to have a mama who wants the very best for them.

My daughter's name is Lucy. I'm constantly getting compliments from people saying how sweet and adorable her name is. Your dsughter is 2 it's too late to change her name. I don't know if you know but the meaning of the name Lucy is light. Which of course is a positive thing. Believe me, no one and I mean no one is thinking of Lucifer. Take my from a mama who has a little one with this name. Don't change it. Your way overthinking this. Best wishes!
