I love it.

I wanted to call my son Lucius (because of the HP link!). DH vetoed sadly.

We did go for a Harry Potter name but because its also a very common name, no one makes the link. And I don't think the character was ever in the films, only very briefly in the books.

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

Yes, that's my thought. It's not my choice, but close family member's. I haven't said a word as not my child and therefore not my choice, but wondered what others would think. Thanks everyone

How do you pronounce it OP?
Im not keen on the was with the shh sound.
Lucas or Lukas or Lucian are better.
Do you fancy Lysander or Leander?

As far as I'm aware, Lushas. With long u and soft sh. I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My first thought was also Lucifer Confused

Sounds like Lucifer 👺

seafronty · 26/05/2024 06:57

Awful choice.

“You know I gets my pimpin onnnn, yeah I be pimping all these hoesss” is all I can think of when I hear it lol

Clawedino · 30/05/2024 12:27

I wouldn't mainly because of Harry Potter personally (but perhaps that's because i grew up with it). I named my cat Lucius, but wouldn't have given it to a son.

Tuwhituwhoo · 30/05/2024 12:37

I like it, but I also like Lucian, which is probably a safer choice.

zingally · 30/05/2024 14:21

No... Too many sssss sounds for me. Just too much of a mouthful.

Plus the Harry Potter connection is strong.

FayCarew · 30/05/2024 17:15

It will get said as Looshus or Lucy-us

Berlinlover · 30/05/2024 17:16

Awful.
