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!

I like Livia, lovely name - plus her initials will be kind of like a nickname!

I love Lydia, it’s an elegant name and looks lovely written too. Leila,/Layla, Lyla, Lois, Lucy.

Adore Lydia
Agree your
Second list other (other than Louisa) are nn.
Agree with pp lotta Livia and Lena are all to my eye nicknames for eg Charlotte carlotta Olivia Helena etc.

Leah or Lorna

Louise, Laurel, Lorna, Linna, Lauren, Laura?

I like Laurie on it's own, but could be a nn for some of the above.

My initial reaction to Lotta, Lissy and Livia would be that they are shortened versions of longer names, but all quite pretty. I love Lena and think it flows well with Iris.
