BOY's name - Lucian

[biglips]

Dp pointed out that he likes that name but hes still looking...

Lucian....does anyone knows a Lucian?

in romania.

Franny - ive never heard of it till my Dp pointed it out in the book. Still not for definite yet but im warming up to the name if we do have a boy.

he is Lucian

i think both spellings and pronunciations v nice
just obviously prone to confusion whichever you pick

definitely

the amount of people who pronounce mine
loo-cee-knee drives me mad!

love it (at least was on my short list, along with Milo)

There is a Lucien who is the grandson of Hugh McDiarmid the poet and he is gorgeous. Rugged sexy gypsy type

italian - luciano is full version. lucian,lucio for short.

pronounced loo-ch-ano(luciano)
loo-ch-an(lucian)
loo-ch-ee-oo(lucio)

Hugh MacDiarmid's got a grandson? Wow...

I thought Lucian was Latin for Luke ? but I am wrong sometimes.

Nice name either way

I have just checked.

Got the latin bit right, but it means 'Light' someone mentioned this earlier in the thread regarding Lucifer.

The boy's name Lucian \l(u)-cian\ is pronounced LOO-shun. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "light". Variant of Lucius. Luciano is an Italian and Spanish form. Saint Lucian of Antioch (fourth century) was a noted scholar. Artist Lucian Freud; opera star Luciano Pavarotti.

Lucian has 7 variant forms: Luciano, Lucianus, Lucien, Lucio, Lucjan, Lukianos and Lukyan.

Baby names that sound like Lucian are Lasean and Lesean.

Lucian is a very rare male first name and a popular surname.

dinny, one of my friends here (NZ) is called Lucienne - had never met one before.

anyway, like the name

Oh I love that name! its on our list when we decide to have another

My Lucien is named after his great grandma, Lucyna, a war heroine (pronounced something like Ludsina). A strong name.

yeh the geeky brother on cramp twins (a cbbc program my friend's kids love to watch) my ds being too little

well, fancy seeing you here Franzo

lovely name.

I think if you pick LUcien there is less scope for confusion. Everybody is familiar with Lucien.

I also like Lorcan .. not latin, gaelic.
