St Lucia is the patron saint of light/ blindness. Also patroness of cutlers, glaziers, notaries, peddlers, saddlers, servant girls, scribes, tailors, and weavers. She is invoked against blindness, fire, infection, eye disease. Which is quite funny really as I am virtually blind!
Can be pronounced 'loo-CHEE-ah', 'LOO-sha', 'loo-SEE-a'.
Hope that's been useful- as you've probably guessed by now, I like my name!
If Granny is so set on "Christian" names, she needs to gen-up on her terminology. So might you.
The "Christian" faith adopts the whole of what is known as the Bible. Surely, then, all that is in both the Old and New Testaments can be deemed Christian.
True, Abraham, Moses, etc. were Jews but so was Jesus. He was termed King of them, in fact.
I don't see why you can't scan the lot (yes, go on, Granny, read the Bible) and pick a name of which you like the sound and be content that it's a solid, reliable, long-standing name with a Biblical grounding (but do consider the child's treatment by his peers at school... (I'd say avoid Zs as a general rule)).
There are plenty of them and many people thrive with them all the time and have done for centuries. I went to school with an Abraham (he was known as Bram) and some friends recently bore an Isaac. Elvis' middle name was Aaron (or Aron for purists). Jesus (pron. Hesoos) is a vastly popular name in Latin America even now. My advice: look at the child when it's born and think what it looks like it should be named. Most names are multi-denominational in one form or another.
