Hard no, sorry. Too "luscious" sounding and too similar to Lucifer. I can imagine kids at school calling him Luscious Lucius, although it would be a fabulous moniker if he became a wrestler, boxer or exotic male dancer.

I know a woman who meant to call her baby Lucius, but spelled it Luscious. Poor child.

Malfoy association is too strong for me. Perhaps wouldn't be an issue if the character was a good guy. But he's pretty unpleasant so....

Love 🥰

Lucian would be better.

iAmBarbara · 25/05/2024 17:26

I also prefer Lucian

ShadesofPoachedSmoke · 25/05/2024 17:25

Instantly think of the gorgeous Jason as Lucius Malfoy.

If you're ok with that association, I think it's a strong name.

Rainingsincenovember · 25/05/2024 17:22

No - it puts me in mind of Lucius Malfoy.

TemuSpecialBuy · 25/05/2024 15:23

Yay from me

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 25/05/2024 15:21

I know a really lovely one, so I like it 😂

I'm a huge Potter fan but have no major issues on that score as I like Jason Isaacs, and anyway, the character has a slight redemption arc, due to cowardice blended with love for his family.

ginasevern · 25/05/2024 15:19

A bit too close to Lucifer. The nickname potential is sparse too (Lu?). How about Luca?

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 25/05/2024 15:12

Nope

Firsttimebabymummy · 25/05/2024 14:55

I like it, but also not read Harry Potter.

It's our cats name - Lucius Meowfoy!

Love this 😂

TuesdayWhistler · 25/05/2024 14:18

I like the name Lucius.

It reminds me of a song by Charlie Daniels.

The Legend Of Wooley Swamp.

octoberfarm · 25/05/2024 14:13

The end half of it I'm not such a fan of. Love Lucian though!

Beatrixslobber · 25/05/2024 14:12

I like it. Please give him Tarquinius as a middle name though.

I haven’t read Harry Potter.

PiggyPlumPie · 25/05/2024 14:12

It's our cats name - Lucius Meowfoy!

MumChp · 25/05/2024 14:10

No

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 25/05/2024 14:09

No. Just call him Malfoy instead. Wink

Indianajet · 25/05/2024 14:07

No

ACynicalDad · 25/05/2024 14:05

Malfoy no

FayCarew · 25/05/2024 14:04

No

BCBird · 25/05/2024 14:03

It's a no from me

Teamarugula · 25/05/2024 14:01

It sounds like an evil name to me - I think Malfoy and Lucifer. Agree Lucas is better or Lucian at a push (as long as you’re happy with him being called Lucy). Julian, Marcus or Marius maybe if you’re looking for Roman-inspired names?
