Hate this spelling. The "u" is just ugly and to me, makes it much more masculine.

This is such a pretty spelling

This spelling makes it look more like "Lucy" and less like "Louis." For someone like me who loves Lucy and isn't crazy about Louis, that's a good thing!

This is my name, it's a family name, and I'm half-Cuban...it's also a very popular Italian girls name, so where they came up with the German origin is completely baffling to me! Oh, and by the way, I used to HATE my name as a child, but now I love it because it's pretty and unique, but people butcher my name in pronunciation and spelling all the time! You get used to it, though.

Lovely, what's lost in regard to classic-ness is regained in beauty. But bound to be forever misspelled.
