I prefer Lucian, but pronounced the Romanian way loo-chyan. I really hate the -sh sound present in both names; I also prefer loo-see-us for Lucius, but don’t really like that name much at all.

Not really keen on either name, don't like the luci part for boys, prefer lucas, luca or Luke

Lucius is a bit cartoon-villian-y, which makes it way more fun but also less practical irl.Lucian is very classy and posh, maybe too posh for some. Both names are really lovely. I'm hard pressed to say which one I prefer.... I feel like Lucian is "safer" but gosh it's beautiful. I guess, if I had to pick one to use, and also had to use my surname with it, I'd go with Lucian, because my last name also starts with an L and ends with an "-us" sound, so Lucius might not be the best choice there. Too rhymey.

Thanks for your reply :) I’m kinda loving how you describe Lucius as a cartoon villain-ish. I really enjoy the name but your description is totally spot on IMO :) And I agree, Lucian IS beautiful.
