Lux

[TinaTraybake]

When you see this name would you think it is a boys name or a girls name? Really struggling to decide on a boys name and the name Lux is one that me and DH both like but I don't know if we will use it or if it is more feminine.

I like it. Always have since Virgin Suicides.

Yuck sorry . . Screams crushed velvet sofa 😂

Lux for a boy. Then if you have a girl, Dove, after that you could go with Ivory for another girl, and Camay for a boy.

They are all soap brands, and the names are fun. Lux, Dove, Ivory and Camay would be a lovely family.

There is a lol doll called Luxe (girl)

Lux, Dove, Ivory and Camay would be a lovely family.

A nice clean family.

No. Just no. And I did Latin, so know the meaning

It's also a technical measurement of light - why not call him Wattage instead?

Soap is my second thought, followed by cheap home furnishings - "A pure Lux Mink Throw" type stuff!

I know a girl called Lux, so girl.

Girl as the name of a mage in League of Legends (MOBA I play and World Championships currently on)

I think Tusk is nicer than Ivory.

It's not great, sorry. Lux sux.

If you like the sound then what about Knox or Max

You’re not living in the Roman Empire and your child isn’t a soap. Give your child a proper name!

I actually like it but it is definitely a girls name for me.

It makes me think of lucifers nightclub... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Funny isn’t it, Flora gets so many positive comments but is the name of a very popular butter but Lux (a lesser known brand) is a big no no. I wonder why that is? (Genuine ponder) I would say boy and I actually like it. Bit like a cooler version of Rex.

Dove?

I know a girl with this as a fist name but it's lux- another name very unusual but not my cup of tea

It can’t remember all my school Latin but pretty sure that’s a masculine ending so I would say boy. I really really don’t like it as a name though, boy or girl.

Soap, sorry

Is his middle name Embourg??

Luxembourg. Get it?

I think we all got it and didn't need it stating.

It’s because Flora was an actual girls name long before it was used as a brand name for margarine (not butter). Lux was a soap first.

It makes me think of lingerie actually. “Lux satin French knickers” etc.

It also gets a lot of negative comments because it is an easily spreadable margarine.

Kailyn on Teen Mom 2 has a son called Lux - that's what it makes me think of. It's not a particularly bad association though

I like it as a boy's name but

'Please, please for the love of God call him Lux-Lether'

Brilliant!

Nope, lux is a feminine noun.
