My neighbors proudly announced this name for their new baby boy. I think it’s absolutely amazing. It sounds high and noble and I can tell it will age well!
My name is Lucian, it's my father's name too, as is an uncle on my father's side, and a cousin's middle name. My great-grandfather was named "Luciano." That said, having known of so many Lucians...I was shocked that on my first day of preschool nobody else had the same name as me. When I was in high school I went to an all boy's school. If you had a common name, like Dan, or John, or Tom, or Alex or whatever, people almost always called you by your last name, unless you had a nickname of some kind. I know a few guys whose girlfriends called them by their last name as everyone else did--it became so commonplace. Some guys I still do that for. This never became an issue for me, I was the only Lucian anybody knew. I didn't like having an odd name in Kindergarten, but grew to like it later on.
I don't know if this is interesting or not, but my friend has Lucian for her middle name and she loves it because she hates her first name somehow. It still sounds okay for girl, doesn't it?

Is it just really odd that my son Lucian is kind of shy and is 11 years old right now? (see comment near the top) Most people do not know how to pronounce it. It was an old family name. We thought we might call him Luke as a nickname, he prefers Lucian. He is extremely intelligent and did not really ever act like a child. We say he was born a little old man. He makes very keen observations about people and things. I find it funny that Lucian or Lucius is usually a name in movies and books for werewolves or bad guys.

Apparently a lot of people like my name. My name IS Lucian. It's somehow rare to have this name and yet people find it cool.
I named my son Lucian. People at first are a little confused on how to pronounce his name. We decided on Loo-Shun. My son is now starting school and he's the only one with this name LOL Anyway, many people comment on how unique his name is or how pretty it is. A great classic name for the modern age.

Lucian is the twin with really wide-set eyes from the Cramp Twins.
I think this is a pretty cool name. I like it better than "Lucius" in any case. I know someone named Lucian, too, and I think he's Italian. His nickname is Luci (LOO-chee).
