Re: the great debate...Lucian vs. LucianO

I guess I am in the vast minority, but I happen to prefer Luciano to Lucian and I like how it sounds better with Paolo.

That being said, DH and I had been going back and forth with names, however recently, DH has adopted a philosophy that I think every woman can get behind:

When DH is asked about potential names he says, "DW has chosen Peter Andrew...while I had input...she's in charge of 'output' and therefore gets the final vote."Chat Icon

I too like Lucian better. I don't have any advice on baby names we are far discussing names in detail. Good luck

I agree that Luciano Paulo sounds too sing songy to me. Lucian Paulo sounds better to me. Plus, it may only be an "o" but doesn't that change how you pronounce it totally, like other said?

Re: the great debate...Lucian vs. LucianO

I have a similar issue. DH wants a name that can be pronounced in his native language... its all a matter of adding some letters here and there, but I don't like it!

My plan is to start avoiding the issue, not discuss it with him at all, and when time comes just name the baby by myself and sign the papers when he isn't looking Chat Icon wish me luck Chat Icon

Really, in these men's minds whats wrong with nice simple 2 syllable names anyway?

Fight the battle! if not only for your baby, but for the hundreds of babies who will have extra necessary syllables!!! and then come back and teach us Chat Icon

Luciano Paolo is too "Amelia Bedelia" for me.



I was trying to put into words what I was thinking, and here it is. I don't like the 2 Os either.

I agree with other that Lucian Paolo does sound better, but your not going to be calling him by his first/middle, are you?



Go with Luciano

I actually love them both. While Lucian Paolo rolls off the tongue better--how many times will he go by first middle and last name?

Re: the great debate...Lucian vs. LucianO

Well, I'm going totally against the grain here and saying I like Lucious...but, that wasn't the question Chat Icon

Its tough because its his friggin name...you will be calling him this forever. If you did name him Luciano, like DH wanted...would you call him Luciano or Lucian?

Re: the great debate...Lucian vs. LucianO

we may have found a way to agree!!! Chat Icon

dh said he might cave on Lucian, if we spell it with an accent (') over the A.

so, I would be LuciAn...and officially pronounced the way you pronounce the name in spanish LuseeAn.

so, my baby in spanish would be

Lu see An Pa O lo.

and in english

Looshan Powlo (Chat Icon )

and for his Italian cugine (and hopefully future Serie A club teammates Chat Icon Chat Icon) Lucheeano

I hope we stick to this!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

thanks everyone!
