I read this name on someone elses post and I really like it alot.
Does it stand as a name on its own or does it sound like a NN?
If a NN then what could it be short for?
Also is it a name for girl, boy or unisex?
Thanks!

I've only heard of it in the movies once a couple of years ago. I think it was "The Virgin Suicides" with Kirsten Dunst.

I do think it is very pretty but wouldn't use it myself.

Sorry, but I think this name makes no sense to me. Reminds me of a bar of soap. I have seen it listed on names for both boys and girls, so I think its considered unisex.

I have to say I don't like Lux at all. Not sure what gender it would be for, but its too weird for me. Not to say I hate different names, but some names are different in a nice, refreshing way, where I just see this one as weird.

I think I've only seen this listed for girls, but I'm sure someone has used it on a boy. To me, it's not really a name ... sounds like a nn for a girl named Luxurious or Deluxe - gag - and brings to mind an appliance of some sort (anyone know why that is, or is it just me?). Sorry. :(

Oohhhh, I hadn't even thought of that when I posted my reply earlier. Good point. Another reason that I can't see this as a name!

I LOVE this name! Ever since I read the book "Virgin Suicides" I wanted a girl named Lux. However, I got vetoed by my husband! >:/ I love the name we have picked out now too, but if I ever have another girl he may have to give in! I was just always unsure of a middle name for Lux. Good luck with the name!

I like this name too, sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. The only Lux I knew growing up was very pretty, very shy, and totally sweet, she was my best friend in the fifth grade before she moved. BTW, she was never made fun of, we all wished we had such a cool name. Her full name was Lennox, and she went by Lux.

Another similar name that I just adore is Luz. That is a nn for a lot of names, Luzianne, Analuz, Luzine, etc. Georgous spanish name! Another guilty pleasure of mine. However, my DH will have none of it- hope you have better luck- great name!
