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

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!

To be honest when I read your post and you mentioned a pattern, I hadn't noticed. You don't need to keep up the L thing.

hobbgoblin · 12/01/2011 01:34

I love Jennifer. I don't know why it has never occurred to me how much I love the name.

Leonie is good I think.

Are you sure you can't find an L name you like?

lalabaloo · 14/01/2011 17:22

Not sure if this helps but you could go for Ellen, Ellie, Elle, Eleanor etc, sounds like L... but you might like those more

LillianGish · 14/01/2011 17:25

Lillian of course! Or you could just pick something you like ...

FWIW, I know a family with all L names (no,its not you!) and they are known as 'the bloody Ls' - I would say this is your opportunity to get away from the possibility of that label...

Casserole · 15/01/2011 09:47

Elle.

it must be difficult when you have post in your house
i am forever opening DS post, who has same 2 initials as me.

but, like others, particularly as this one due is a girl, lose the L's.

jennifer is lovely- know lots, but all in their 40's! Jenny is a lovely nn. Julia is also very nice- there is a 4 yo one in Dds reception class- very pretty. Also has an 'L' in it...

You could have a middle name with an 'l'-
Jennifer Rose Louise
.

Ooh, I like that....Smile

I would make a point of not picking an L name.

Or everybody would think you did it on purpose.

I know two families where everyone is the same letter (inc parents) and always wonder if it's deliberate!

Both Ls as well, wierdly!

Merrylegs · 15/01/2011 14:37

Take the 'a' from Julia and stick it on the end of Rose.

Rosa.

Don't go for another L name. It sounds a bit mad, tbh.

activate · 15/01/2011 14:39

you are barking mad

activate · 15/01/2011 14:39

guess what your 4th child won't fit anyway because she won't have a penis so surely the name won't matter

LOL

lovemybabyboy · 15/01/2011 22:37

I have 2 sisters (no brothers), both their names are first name S middle name E ( i think this was a coincidence) my name begins with K. I never felt left out! Smile
