No, but i know a soap called Lux

EvenBetter · 25/02/2012 19:57

Nope!
Imagine the possibilities for what it rhymes with!

messymammy · 25/02/2012 19:59

Was the name of one of the sisters from the virgin suicides, no? Think kirsten dunst's character?

Not for me anyway,sorry.

Bunbaker · 25/02/2012 20:00

It's a soap. How about Camay, Imperial Leather or Simple instead?

Oubliette0292 · 25/02/2012 20:00

No - Lux makes me think of soap I'm afraid.

picnicbasketcase · 25/02/2012 20:04

There are prettier names if you like the 'light' meaning - Eleanor, Lucia, Phoebe etc. I think Lux would be too easy for people to pick on.

EdithWeston · 25/02/2012 20:06

I don't.

Presumably because of the rhyme possibility (or just spoonerism if your surname begins with an F)

latrucha · 25/02/2012 20:06

Makes me think Lux Interior but that willl probably pass most people by. Otherwise I think soap.

Not keen anyway.

What about Luz or Mari-Luz, which are both Spanish.

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 25/02/2012 20:07

I like it! Dont know any one called it though ( unless tv characters count ) :)

"No, but i know a soap called Lux"

:o

thehen · 25/02/2012 20:11

Yes I know one!

LCarbury · 25/02/2012 20:16

No but it reminds me of this book www.amazon.co.uk/Virgin-Suicides-Jeffrey-Eugenides/dp/0747560595 sorry

SayBoo · 25/02/2012 20:21

I know a Luz, not Lux.

Littlefish · 25/02/2012 20:29

No. For a very good reason.

It's horrible.

TheCrunchUnderfoot · 25/02/2012 20:29

You're getting mixed up with a bar of soap.

Babies have legs and arms and are bigger

EdithWeston · 25/02/2012 20:29

What about Paloma (as it means dove)?

littlemagic · 25/02/2012 22:49

I love the name Lux wanted to call my daughter that. Heard it on the tv programme life unexpected

nooka · 25/02/2012 22:59

Soap.

Heartbeep · 25/02/2012 23:07

latrucha I love the cramps. Was my first thought too...

My second thought was about lux levels I.e the unit of illuminance.

Lux interior is the only lux I've ever heard of.

Petrean · 25/02/2012 23:09

No... But it too made me think of soap. Whatever happened to Lux?

mathanxiety · 26/02/2012 00:47

Lux like rain.

DizzyCow63 · 26/02/2012 00:52

littlefish said what I was going to.
