HelpRe: Lucian / Lucien
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Both of them will be generally pronounced as LOO-shən in English, which ruins the names for me. But this is the correct English pronunciation, pronounce -cian / cien / tian / tien as shən, like the word "magician".
It is OK in Sebastian / Sebastien but a bit ugly in Lucian / Lucien from my perspective. The French pronunciation LUY-SYEN is very pretty and I quite like the pronunciation LOO-cee-ən which is not standard.
Lucian is stronger and sporting to me and Lucien is a quiet and well-educated type.
Please vote on my lists, thanks!
