Anneluce or Annelucia?

We're torn between Anneluce and Annelucia for our girl's name. Which do you think looks better?
Annelucia is more of a double name and has one extra syllable (we both see that as a downside). But with Anneluce, people might mishear or mispronounce it more easily (like Anneloes).
Thanks for your feedback!

    Oh, not really my thing (but tastes differ, of course!). I do think Anne and Lucy are really nice names.

    Anne-Lucy maybe?

    How do you pronounce Anneluce? And where does the stress fall on Annelucia?

    Anneluce is pronounced 'Anneluus', and for Annelucia, the stress is on the 'u': Anne-lu-cia.

    Tricky. I think Annelucia is a bit too much of a good thing. Anneluce I find pretty, but I wouldn't go for it myself either because of all the confusion around understanding/writing/pronouncing it. Is Anneluus as a spelling still an option? I know someone called Luus and I think it's such a lovely name. And written, I do think it looks nice with those nn-uu.

    I agree with Anne above. I like the sound of Anneluce better, but I’d probably go with Anneluus myself. Annelucia looks nice written down, but to my ears it sounds a bit like Andalusia.. Not sure if that’s the intention..?
