the_madhatter1 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm just interested how people pronounce Lucius. I personally call him Lu-See-us but i have seen people say Lu-shus before and i was wondering what was the correct way? i think Lu-See-Us sounds better, but what are other peoples opinions?

Lucidicide Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I can tell you that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, whoever is currently using him in their crew is the one pronouncing it correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarragon Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I've always pronounced it as Lu-She-Us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearLord Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I always thought it was P-IM-P I was planning to paint mine like Miles Edgeworth from the Ace Attorney games, but in the end, I didn't have the guts... Perhaps I'll buy a second just to do this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike3838 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Lucius Malfoy was a character in Harry Potter and, if I recall correctly in the films, both Lu-see-us and Lu-Shuss were used, when different people were referring to him. I suspect it's a regional pronunciation difference and that both are right. Everybody wins! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerGaeth Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 but it sounds so strange.... It's a dialectal thing. For a very large number of english speakers, it sounds great, and your way of doing it sounds weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Neither sound strange to me. http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Lucius.html Both pronunciations are valid according to the above link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Its an actual name that people (usually in the past) named their children. Usually Pronounced Lu-shuss or however the RM said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJoker Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 The difference between Loo-shus and Loo-see-us is just the accent you choose to say the name with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Lu see us sounds more "wizardly", Lew-shuss sounds more diabolical to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
