It's weird how people are sensitive to sounds & associations as differently as we are. Every opinion is just one data point.
To me
Lucian doesn't sound remotely like "lotion." I'd never have made that connection.
It's only the shan in
Lucian, that makes the Loo part tolerable for me!
I can't hear
Lucy without hearing the "loose" in it. Righty-tidy (I know it's "tighty" but same sound), lefty-Lucy (loosey).
I've always felt
Lucy sounded sloppy because of that.
