I'm a 45 year old mum to be, 'surprise" ! (shock)
I already have three grown ups, Lucien, Charlotte and George ( I know) I need something for a girl, fairly classic, beginning with L, does anyone have any ideas? I have been through every online listing. Don't want Lysandra or Lucy or Louise.

My favourite girl's name beginning with L is Leigh. It's one of those names I think can suit any personality.

Why does it need to begin with L, just out of interest?

It's not really classic, but I love Lois.

I do like Lara but it's quite a new name, so I'm not entirely sure about that one, I love Laurel but husband, says it reminds him of Laurel and Hardy.
My mother just died and she was an L, so it's in remembrance of her, my brother already has a daughter with her name.

Laura
Lettice

Does it have to be 'L' for your Mum? Could it be a name that means remembrance or similar?
Rosemary
Cora

Or after a loved quality of hers?
Grace
Patience
Hope etc.

Lucinda would fit well with your other names. It doesn't have to be shortened to Lucy.

If your brother has used your DM's name and you can't decide on a name beginning with L, maybe there was a particular flower or place or song she liked...?

I like Lara - is it that new? (Thinking of heroine of "Dr Zhivago" published 1957, rather than Lara Croft).
