What do u ladies think of Lucian for a boy both myself and dh love it but my in laws and sil have voised their opinion and hate it! My parents like it and it was actually my grandfather who suggested it.
Now the 2nd one is what middle name goes with Lucian? We want something abit different and keep vetoing each others names!
Any sugestions would be greatly received.

Not sure! The nutty one in the LiverBirds had a brother called Lucian (played by Michael Angelis) He kept loads of rabbits and was a bit of a hippy type and had a big coat made of rabbit fur so mayb e thats clouding my judgement!
To be quite honmest I'm sitting here thinking about it before i press 'post' and i think its growing on me!

Love it. Would suggest a fairly 'mainstream' middle name that ds could use if he doesn't like the first one. eg Lucian James would roll nicely (depending on your surname of course).
Think about the initials too! eg if your last name is Davidson, then he doesn't necessarily want to go thru life as LSD

I love the name Lucien. I would agree that you should chose a very common middle name just in case he doesn't like his more unusual first name. I know two Luciens though (one teenage, one 37) and they both like their name.
Lucien James does sound good (LJ) or Lucien Michael?
One of my DDs is Luthien but that is a different story.

Oh I don't know Underworld (except as the knicker factory in Corrie!), but do watch ER, and it's the only place I've ever heard the name Lucian. It is lovely, and certainly unusual.
Best not to tell family your chosen names ahead of time IMO. It has to be your and dh's decision, and no-one else's.
