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?)

Gabriel for a boy.
Severine or Magali for a girl.

Boys:

I like Lucian a lot - and it’s very underused

I love Rory but it’s very overdone. I like Leonie but think it’s too twinny with Lucian, Lincoln is a very different vibe (it’s like calling your kids Sebastian and Jayden). Valley is a bit grim. Demitri is a bit random if you aren’t Greek and Demi a bit odd, considering it’s French for half

These seem to have the same vibe to me..

I think Valentine is good and strong for a boy. I don't like the f. version.

Leonie - the name of a former great friend who moved abroad. She never had a nickname, except for Lezza if we were taking the piss a bit.

Demitri is horrible.

Lincoln - again the name of a former great, late friend, who was always called Linc. Lovely man (American of course), and thus good feelings about this name.

Rory is pleasant enough but I'd never choose it for a child nor an animal.
