Sibling for Lucian

[mamaloo]

I absolutely love the name Lucian and now I'm pregnant with #2 really struggling to find a name I love as much for my next!

I've found I like names that are Latin/Greek origin. Things I look for in a name are; classic but not common, strong but soft, and not too flouncy. Lucian is about as flouncy as I'm willing to go 😂

Bonus points for a cute nickname, (Lucian goes by Louie for short).

We don't know if it's a girl or boy and so far have the following options, none of which I'm set on....

Girls

• Valentina (Valley)
• Leonie (Leo)

Boys

• Demitri (Demi)
• Lincoln (not sure on Linc for nn!)
• Rory (potentially getting a bit too used?)

Aurora
Beatrice
Paola (Pa-o-la)
Juliet
Helena
Marina - Latin sea association

August
Elio
Magnus
Caspian
Mark/Marcus
Nestor
Hector
Hermes
Joshua

I would spell Demitri - Dimitri

I wouldn’t have a Louie and a Leo, personally.

Helen
Francesca
Livia
Camilla

Titus
Magnus
Felix
Atticus

Like Valentina and Dimitri!

Vivienne
Sebastian

Valentina (Valley) I think I'd spell it Vali or Valli
Leonie (Leo) - not Leo for a girl

Demitri (Demi) - Dmitri is better
Lincoln (not sure on Linc for nn!) - It's fine
Rory - popular

Demi is a girl’s name and so it wouldn’t work for me as a boy’s nn.

Girls:

Lyra
Cora
Thea
Anthea
Calla
Freya

Boys :
Alaric (Al)
Theron (Ter)
Phineas (Fin)
Caelan (Cal)
Ptolomy (Tolly)

Our youngest’s best friend was called Natalia. Love the name. Also, Marnie and Hero.

For a boy, Tristan.

(My favourites are what we called our daughter and son. They’re 30 and 21 now and we’ve never come across anyone with the same names. So, I’m not going to say what they are 😁)

Tristan
Ernest
Francis
Darius

Minerva
Artemis
Nadia
Marguerite

Valentina (Vallie)

Quentin (Quinn)

Lucifer

Tamlin

I love Valentina but she’ll be called Tina or Val, regardless of what nickname you prefer. I’ve been trying to convince DH to use it but he hates both Val and Tina and I can’t say I like either!

I know a male Dimitri, known as Demi, that’s a lovely name.

Genevieve for a girl

Jericho for a boy

Florian for a boy.

Guinevere?

Cassius - cass

Romily - Romi

Felix

Lucien was on our boy list along with Julian, Edmond and Conrad. Our eldest is Gilbert. I also liked Macsen but my husband didn't.

I absolutely love Leonie (Leo) - one of my favourite names, but Louie and Leo are a bit matchy. I also really like Lincoln (I actually like Linc - super cool for a teen!) and Rory is another of my favourites.

Valentina is too frilly for my taste and I don’t like Valley. Demitri is ok but Demi is a girls name to me.

Lucian and Tobias
Lucian and Astrid
Lucian and Noelle

Girls

• Valentina (Valley) - Beautiful, Valley a bit odd, but ok. Danger of 'Val' which I don't think is particularly nice (sorry to any Vals/Valeries)

• Leonie (Leo) - Really beautiful, but why shorten it to a predominantly boys name? Bit odd?

Boys

• Demitri (Demi) - I'd spell it Dimitri, and the same thing with Leonie, why shorten it to a predominantly Girls name?

• Lincoln (not sure on Linc for nn!) - Rather nice
• Rory (potentially getting a bit too used?) - bit boring, but it's a lovely name.

Perhaps call a boy Leo and a girl Demi?!
