We didn't think - now got a naming dilemma!

[WhyDidntWeThink]

Namechanger because this identifies me and my kids undoubtedly...

So me and DH didn't really think through our name decisions just went on what we wanted...

So DS1 is called Lucas Gabriel Andrew because my DH's GF was called Lucas, I loved Gabriel and my DH is called Andrew

DS2 comes along and we name him Leon Silas Robert because I love Leon, My Dad is called Silas and my DH's brother is called Robert.

We realise a pattern... all Ls so when DC3 comes along and is another boy we think it will be a good idea to do all Ls so DS3 is called Lloyd Matthew Benedict.

Now I am pregnant with DC4 and it is a girl but we like NO names for girls that begin with Ls but we can't exactly not go for an L because we don't want this child to be the odd one out....

Please help and suggest some girl names beginning with L!

That's mad. Just pick a name you like. Your dc are individuals, not identikit children made to fit a strange naming pattern.

I could suggest 'L' names
But really, I don't think you need to get too stuck on the 'L' theme - just find a name you love.

Agree, you are mad, in the nicest possible way.
Just choose a name you like regardless of the first letter!

Er, just get a baby names book and look at the L section?

But really, as everyone has said, it doesn't have to be an L name at all. Don't be caught in your own trap!

I don't see how a child would feel 'left out' because they have a different first letter to their name.

I agree with the others..if you like a name, use it regardless :)

I like Louisa

You're already in for the nightmare of post arriving for L WhyDidntWeThink and not knowing who it is for. Why make it worse?

If you want to go with a theme, what about your mothers and grandmothers names?

Hmm I'm starting to think we should take this as an opportunity to lose the Ls.... we do save massively on name tags though....

My grandmothers were called Jennifer and Rose and my DH's grandmothers were called Julia and Molly... could any of those work?

Lose the L's. I was going to say the same about the post as they grow up.

Molly Rose is nice. Have Ls for the boys and Ms for the girls x

Doesn't have to be the same starting letter at all, you're being daft :o

the fact its a girl gives u an excuse to break your L theme anyway, if she ever asked about it just say its L for boys and whatever else for girls - easy
so chose whichever name you like. or you can just pick a name you love and tell her like we liked it so much that we did not care it doesnt begin with L, im sure she wont be too bothered

Me and my brother both have a name starting with S and my sister's starts with another letter, it's never occured to any of us that it was anything other than just names our parents liked, don't overthink it

My friend has 3 brothers with J names and hers begins with I.

Don' think it matters does it?

Both my parents and my brother are all P names. I'm not. It has never occured to me to mind about this.

I would go with Julia Molly Rose.

Go for a different letter. She'll be so pleased once she gets big enough to start recieving mail that she won't mind. She'll be the only one who's sure which post is for her!

Julia, Jennifer and Rose are all lovely. Molly is too but a little too popular for me.

Lily, if you are set on L. But I agree, don't get stuck on it for the sake of it!

Don't think it has to begin with L, but I could happily name six or more dd,s with beautiful names beginning with L!
