I would hazard to guess that in CA, with so many Spanish speakers around, most people would probably start with Lu-see-ah.

I think that you could pick any of the pronounciations, but she'd always be correcting people who guessed the wrong one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pronounce-the-name-lucia#post-2485307 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 19:17:15 +0000 Torchwood 2485307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Loosh-a but really I'm thinking I'd go Loo-see-a.
