Middle names for Lucien?

23 replies

DH and i are expecting our second baby soon and both love Lucien if it's a boy, but we can't think of 2 middle names to go with it. We have half heartedly decided on Lucien Alexander John but i just wondered if anyone here has any better suggestions.

Our first DS has 2 middle names we love, so we want the same for DS2.

What letter does surname begin with? Important the initials don't spell anything daft.

I think Alexander is quite a well used middle name now, how about:

Lucien Tobias John
Lucien Arthur James
Lucien Robert Jude

I agree, it's a lovely name.

It really depends on your surname but here's some...
Lucien Edward Joseph
Lucien Jonathan James
Lucien Maurice Scott
Lucien George Alexander
Lucien Gregory Noah

Weirdly, when I looked at the thread title in Baby Names, I thought 'Lucien Alexander'. I think Lucien Alexander John is lovely, flows very nicely.

Lucien Anthony John?

MrsKoala · 22/06/2014 08:13

Thanks all. John is my Dad's name and we think we'd like to keep that as he has been so great during this pregnancy and really helped us a lot. Alexander has no significance to us other than we just like it. We could go for Lucien Edward John as Edward is a family name for me too. But i am not so keen on the flow.

DS is Lysander Clement Floros and both of these are significant names for us - Clement was the obstetrician who saved DS during a hard birth and Floros is the name of a good friend who died just before DS was born.

Oh and our surname begins with M.

I do love the name Lucien very much. :)

Do you have any place names that mean something to you that you could use? Or anyone else you'd like to honour?

Thinking slightly out of the ordinary to match DS1, how about:

Lucien Wilberforce John
Lucien Ptolemy John
Lucien Barnaby John
Lucien Frederick John
Lucien Curtis John
Lucien Reginald John

Lucien John Edward?

MrsKoala · 22/06/2014 22:11

Thanks all. I think we will probably stick with Lucien Alexander John. Altho we have had another idea but i'm scared of being called a pretentious wanker (like i was with last ds) so i wont share on here Grin

That's gorgeous.

AnotherSpinningFuckingRainbow · 22/06/2014 23:33

I like! Very good!

MrsKoala · 22/06/2014 23:33

Yes we quite like it too. We named DS after someone we admired from history/the classics and wanted to give DS2 the same kind of 'story' in his name. It just popped into my head as I had considered it as a first name but dismissed it as, not rolling off the tongue enough. I mentioned it to DH and he loves it.

Cataline · 22/06/2014 23:42

Love it!! What an awesome name! Your DS1 has a fabulous name too Grin

areyoubeingserviced · 22/06/2014 23:43

I like Lucien Alexander John

boredofdinosaurs · 22/06/2014 23:44

I'm very jealous you have a Lysander. That's my favourite boys name.

InfiniteJest · 23/06/2014 02:36

Lucien Aurelius John is fabulous! You should do it!
