Hi. Can I have your opinions on Lucius please. For a boy

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like the way it sounds and looks.

Aquamarine1029 · 25/05/2024 12:47

Hard no, sorry. Too "luscious" sounding and too similar to Lucifer. I can imagine kids at school calling him Luscious Lucius, although it would be a fabulous moniker if he became a wrestler, boxer or exotic male dancer.

I love it! But the Harry Potter connection is too strong for me.

oldnorsesaga · 25/05/2024 13:01

I love it! It is on my list.
I read Harry Potter and forget most of it.

He'll get called Lucy. Not that that's a bad thing

Pieceofpurplesky · 25/05/2024 13:10

It's a great name, and I doubt kids would call him luscious Lucius. Maybe Lit Lucius in today's language.

I taught a Lucius - most kids called
Him Lu.

I like it, but my only issue is pronunciation -- LOO-shus vs LUCY-us.

raspberryjamjar · 25/05/2024 13:19

I immediately think Malfoy!

whatageareyou · 25/05/2024 13:20

Yep to Malloy, if you don't mind that it's a lovely name

averylongtimeago · 25/05/2024 13:29

No- he will be called Lucy.

Catlicker · 25/05/2024 13:33

Devil and Malfoy

Nittersing · 25/05/2024 13:33

I'd happily use it. I had it on my list but we used a different name instead.

Moreteaandchocolate · 25/05/2024 13:39

I prefer Lucian I think - less Harry Potter associations :)

MaybeItWasMe · 25/05/2024 13:44

A definite NO for me. Always pretentious but now also inextricably linked with Harry Potter slimeball.

LardoBurrows · 25/05/2024 13:47

I prefer Lucian, Lucas or Luca.

LogicVoid · 25/05/2024 13:50

Nice as a second name, but too much potential for attracting bullying I reckon.

Teamarugula · 25/05/2024 14:01

It sounds like an evil name to me - I think Malfoy and Lucifer. Agree Lucas is better or Lucian at a push (as long as you’re happy with him being called Lucy). Julian, Marcus or Marius maybe if you’re looking for Roman-inspired names?

BCBird · 25/05/2024 14:03

It's a no from me

FayCarew · 25/05/2024 14:04

No

ACynicalDad · 25/05/2024 14:05

Malfoy no

Indianajet · 25/05/2024 14:07

No

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 25/05/2024 14:09

No. Just call him Malfoy instead. Wink

MumChp · 25/05/2024 14:10

No

PiggyPlumPie · 25/05/2024 14:12

It's our cats name - Lucius Meowfoy!

Beatrixslobber · 25/05/2024 14:12

I like it. Please give him Tarquinius as a middle name though.

I haven’t read Harry Potter.
