Extra Points for Unique, or at least unique spellings of common names and can absolutely be other languages too.

We also need a middle name for a girl too or make it double barrel!

Boys and girls names!

We like Luca, Leo, Leon and I like Londyn as well for boys.

For Girls we like Libby but I feel like it's more of a nickname. I do also like Leona but then I'd never be able to use Leo or Leon. I like Lucky as well but I feel like people would say it's a dog's name.

DH doesn't like Luther or Lazlo. I don't like Lawrence.
We dont like Lexi for girls, not a fan of Lucille either

I knew a Liselle, don’t think that’s been mentioned yet

If you want very unusual then I love Leal for a boy (old Anglo- Saxon meaning Loyal). But it might get misheard as Neil! French Laurent is gorgeous too but it probably sounds too feminine for the UK. It’s slightly more popular but I also love short and simple Lev (which is multi cultural and can mean heart or lion).

For girls I love Lilia the most but it’s fairly well used now that Lily is super popular. Maybe Ancient Roman Lucilla or Lucretia? I also really like French Lisette, Swedish Linnea and Cornish Loveday which are all fairly uncommon too (in the UK).

Lucille

I never had the chance to use it myself but it's a beautiful name

Lilac ~ I've always thought this would make a lovely name. There are so many other colour names out there but I've never come across a Lilac!

Linnet. Like the little girl in The Children of Green Knowe. It’s my mission in life to get someone to call their daughter Linnet.

Not your point but it’s Laurence. With a W is a surname. I like Laurie but obviously not your vibe.

Sorry to disagree but that's not correct . . . forename and surname can both be spelt with either a U or a W
