· Filed under Name for today · Tagged Lucius, Lucian, Luciano, Lucianus, Lucien, Lucan, Lucio
Romanian and English form of LUCIANUS (behindthename.com)
A sleeker, more sophisticated version of Lucius, picked by Indie actorSteve Buscemi.International Variations:Lucien (French) Lucan (Irish) Luciano (Italian) Luciano (Portuguese)Luciano, Lucio (Spanish) (nameberry.com)
Personal experiences with the name Lucian:
We named our son Lucian. The reaction to his name is usually favorable especially when they meet him.
My son is also named Lucian. The name means “light” and is a perfect fit for his cheerful and bright demeanor. When we first decided on his name, people were very negative saying it sounds too much like “Lucifer” or that it would be mispronounced as “lucy-ann”. But, once people meet Lucian (pronounced Loo-shin), he melts their hearts! (babynamewizard.com

Commentary on the name Jude:This name has a pioneer style and a strong religious heritage that give it impressive gravity. It also has a zippy sound that keeps it unpretentious. The one other choice with that same style combo is Luke, a soaring hit name. Jude is an uncommon alternative with breakout potential. See also: Judah.From The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg
