Lucian

What do you all think of the name Lucian?

I came across it today and have fallen in love with it. Do you think it's a bit too close to "Lucy"/"Lucia", though?

I dislike Luciano (Loo-CHAH-no in italian) and all variations.
The only one I except from this is Lucien (Loose-YAN) in french.

I'm not sure if you're pronouncing Lucian as LOOSE-yan or LOO-shan, but Lucia is definitely pronounced Loo-CHEE-ah in italian and Loo-SEE-ah in spanish.

Well the way I heard it was LOOSE-yan, and I think I prefer it to the other pronunciations. LOO-shan sounds too much like "lotion" to me. That would make more sense to me (personally) anyway, seeing that I pronounce Lucia Loo-SEE-ah.
