Girls names beginning with L

Hi all,

Wondered if I could get some opinions on these girls names begining with L. Or had any suggestions we might not have thought of.
The middle name will be Iris as it is a family name.
Surname begins with a V and is 4 syllables.

The names on the list are:
Lotta, Livia, Lydia, Louisa, Lena

I quite like Laurie, Libby and Lissy but I think they might be too nicknamey?

Opinions? Ideas?
Happy new year all!

Other suggestions: Ludmilla nn Lud and Lucinda

Linnea (pronounced Linn-eaah) with the nickname Leah for short. Should have been my daughter’s name. 👌❤️

Doesn't really go with Iris though.

Lois is also beautiful.

DansMaPoche · 01/01/2021 21:43

Lara. Beautiful, simple, elegant and an absolute classic.

I went to school with a Lynelle ... beautiful name .. nice girl .. it's funny how we associate the loveliness of a name by it's namesake lol

startoes · 01/01/2021 21:40

I like Lydia and Louisa best from your list.
Maybe Liberty, Libby for short?

missmouse101 · 01/01/2021 21:39

Louisa is lovely. Lydia is grim. Extremely dated, very harsh sound, especially the 'Lid' syllable. How about Lowenna?

Prefer Lottie to Lotta. Also like Lucy, Lola and Lara.

Call her Livia as her initials will spell Liv Smile

I like Livia, Lydia and most of all Louisa.
