About the name Lucy in Korean
Lucy begins with a long 'oo', as in 'rue', and 루시 (Ru-si) gives it two even beats. Korean does not stress syllables the way English does, so the name sounds calm and level. As with Lily, a leading 'Lu' tends to become 유, so 유시 (Yu-si) follows 루시 beat for beat; as 'gentle poetry' it is the softest of the three. 수이 (Su-i) shares the 'u' vowel and the closing 이 of 루시, and 'outstanding joy' makes it the cheerful one. 소휘 (So-hwi) was chosen for meaning: Lucy comes from the Latin word for light, and 昭 (bright) with 輝 (radiance) says the same thing. Its sound link is limited to the soft 's', but it is the brightest of the three. Say each one slowly, with equal length on each syllable, to hear the difference.
