Lucius ?

Lucius for a boy ?

[mumoftoomany]

I like it but prefer Lucian.

[PandaG]

Malfoy, baddy from Harry Potter - sorry. I wouldn't be able to think of anything else.

[Blanchet]

ooh no... it just sounds evil, I think that's why JK Rowling chose it. it also sounds like an adjective of some kind: "oooh, i'm feeling a bit lucius this morning" or "all right, all right, there's no need to be so blooming lucius about it!"

[DrivenToDistraction]

The conection with Harry Potter would put me off TBH.

Lucian is fab.

[joanne34]

Hmmmm.... I like it, but it's just not the one...

[joanne34]

Who was Lucian ? The Lucians ? Is that Bible related ?

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Malfoy

[shoobidoo]

All these names are derived from Lucifer - not a good association.

[joanne34]

Lucifer being the devil ?

Hmmmmm.....

[Blanchet]

no... they're not from Lucifer! They are related to Lucy meaning 'light', from the Latin. Lucifer may also come partly from 'light', but the other names didn't spin off from it!

still.... the Lucifer similarity is not much of a bonus!

[Cortina]

Think it's fab and think it will catch on, maybe the new Arlo?

[SqueezyB]

all I think is Malfoy, sorry! And I imagine Harry Potter will be read in schools for years to come so kids are bound to make the connection.

How about Lucas? Or Luca?

[Blanchet]

lockets i meant that lucy, lucian and lucius are all related, not that any of them came from lucifer (though apparently the "luc" bit of lucifer is the same "luc" in the other names, from 'lux' = light).

am i being clear as mud?

[sayanything]

Malfoy association for me too, sorry.

Lucifer actually means the bearer of light, which is quite lovely, no?
