Sibling for Lucian

31 replies

I absolutely love the name Lucian and now I'm pregnant with #2 really struggling to find a name I love as much for my next!

I've found I like names that are Latin/Greek origin. Things I look for in a name are; classic but not common, strong but soft, and not too flouncy. Lucian is about as flouncy as I'm willing to go 😂

Bonus points for a cute nickname, (Lucian goes by Louie for short).

We don't know if it's a girl or boy and so far have the following options, none of which I'm set on....

Girls

  • Valentina (Valley)
  • Leonie (Leo)

Boys

  • Demitri (Demi)
  • Lincoln (not sure on Linc for nn!)
  • Rory (potentially getting a bit too used?)

Demi is a girl’s name and so it wouldn’t work for me as a boy’s nn.

Girls:

Lyra
Cora
Thea
Anthea
Calla
Freya

Boys :
Alaric (Al)
Theron (Ter)
Phineas (Fin)
Caelan (Cal)
Ptolomy (Tolly)

Valentina (Valley) I think I'd spell it Vali or Valli
Leonie (Leo) - not Leo for a girl

Demitri (Demi) - Dmitri is better
Lincoln (not sure on Linc for nn!) - It's fine
Rory - popular
