When I hear this, one thing and one thing only comes to mind: Lucius Malfoy.

Very distinctive name - Lucius Cary, Viscount (Lord) Falkland, was a famous English Civil War hero and Captain Lucius O'Brien was a British naval hero.

If its pronounced Loo-cius I think it's cool but otherwise it makes me think of the Devil.

Lucius is my son's name. It was one of the very few boy names my fiance and I considered for our child, given that we're both quite picky. I'd known of the name for a long time and was genuinely surprised to find out how many people had never heard of it (especially since it appears in a number of movies). But I tend to like uncommon names, and this one has so much historical, literary, and cultural background that it can never be considered faddish. It is both sophisticated and simple, powerful and ethereal, beautifully elegant and unabashedly masculine. I love its meaning, "light," since light is often symbolic of knowledge, intelligence, joy, comfort, love, hope, and a plethora of other good things. I've gotten quite a bit of positive feedback, and only occasionally has anyone said it sounds like Lucifer. When that comes up, I have to give people a speech on its etymology :)
Seriously why have more people not caught on to this name?

I agree with your description of Lucius. I also love Loo-see-us.

Another popular culture and historical Lucius is the character Lucius Vorenus from the HBO series "Rome", that was supposedly loosely based on a Roman centurion of the same name who was briefly mentioned in the diaries of Julius Caesar.

Everyone seems to be quite enamoured by Lucien but, for me personally, it's all about Lucius. Lucius is elegant, charming, sophisticated, charistmatic, aristocratic, grand, regal, ancient, rare and stunning - all rolled into one. It really is the complete package. Although, I admit to being more partial to the traditional European "Loo-see-us", as opposed to the more English/American "Loo-shus".
Yes, it does remind me a bit of Lucifer, but that's just another reason to love it since Lucifer is actually a very moral character if you take the time to analyze the story. Overall, Lucius is definitely one of the names I'll be considering for a future son.
great name. My pediatrician as a boy was named Lucius. I adored him and adore the name now.
