In the original spoilers for the eppy, his name was Bertrand, I like
that
better.


   I DO know that Lucian (and yes, that's how the CC spelled it) is a
real name.  It just seemed like an odd choice for the character. (A
friend of mine noted that it's a very French name, and Dubenko isn't
French.) And, of course, as noted, it's just very similar to Luka and
Lucy.

Yeah, I'd probably prefer Bertrand as well ... though then the short
form is Bert, which doesn't fit him at all. (In a fan-fic I'm writing,
I dubbed him Chris.)
