Hi.

I am pregnant with our (definitely) last child. We have 2 DS already. We've found out that we're having DS number 3😂. I was completely adamant this one felt different and have been very excited to use my favourite girls name. Lost many bets. Alas.

Lucy is youthful, sweet and elegant.
It means light.
It has both vintage and modern appeal.
It's timeless.

It's not a name suited to a boy, though.

My Q to you is what is the boys equivalent of such a classic yet modern and fresh sounding name? (We have a Jack and Tom). DH likes Finn.

Help! Help! Help!

I know so many little Lucys. The ones I know have brothers called Adam, Edward, Max and Michael.

Good point @BoudicasBoudoir
I also like Edward and Adam.

Not Lucian.

Some people (most Americans?) would pronounce it Looshan and that sounds horrible.

OohThatCat · 06/11/2020 18:46

Leon?

Whenwillow · 06/11/2020 18:45

I immediately though Lucian and I'm pleased to see it suggested.

JocelynSchitt · 06/11/2020 18:45

Lucian. Or Lucien.

Was second on our list.

Finn isn't timeless. It's very now.

Hugo is nice. Noah as well, but it’s very popular at the moment.

All these sound classic and modern to me.

Chilldonaldchill · 06/11/2020 18:38

I know a Lucian. I really like it and I think it would fit fine with your other boys...

IsAnybodyListening · 06/11/2020 18:21

I think you should save the name 'Gary'. ;)

CaptivatingGonads · 06/11/2020 18:21

Adam!

Trut · 06/11/2020 18:14

Congratulations! I love Hugo and Noah. Young yet ageless

lifeinlimbo2020 · 06/11/2020 18:13

I love Noah too. Lucifer though 😮😈

Sorry, didn’t suggest a name! How about:

Nicholas
Victor
Ralph
Samuel
Robin
Graham
Angus

Dollywilde · 06/11/2020 18:00

Honestly I’d go with something totally different, I know a Charlotte who found out later her mums favourite name was Charlie for a boy and she felt a bit miffed like her mum had wanted a boy and ‘settled’. Just a word of caution!

halfgirlhalfturnip · 06/11/2020 17:59

Not what you asked but I love Noah
