Need to cull my shortlist of L names. Iris and Maeve are the other shortlisted names.

Lara and Lila are my favourites of your L names.
Of the other two, Iris is gorgeous. Not so keen on Maeve.

luna

I like Lara and Lila. I'm not keen on Lyra. I love Luna but I think it's still strongly associated with Harry Potter.

youngestisapyscho · 12/05/2015 10:36

Not on your list, but I like Lilia....

iseenodust · 12/05/2015 10:37

Please not Luna. Do you really want her taunted with lunatic by mean teens ?

Love Lara.

Like Luna and Lyra.

Not so keen on Lila.

Much prefer Lara to Maeve and Iris.

I like Lila but prefer Lyla spelling.

Luna and Lara are ok.

Can't stand Lyra, too much like Lycra. MN loves it though.

Love Iris was on a short list for DC2,3 and 4 but they were all boys!

Not keen on Maeve at all.

Lara definitely

Lyra - fine, seems to be popular on mumsnet although I've never met one in real life.
Lila - very nice
Luna - awful, can't understand why this is so popular on here. It sounds like the word lunatic...
Lara - my favourite of your list
Iris - nice
Maeve - boring, it was very common in Ireland when I grew up there in the 80's/90's. Maeves were two a penny.

Lara is my favourite of all your names.

VenusVanDamme · 12/05/2015 11:16

Definitely use Lara, it's lovely and my favourite of all your options. Also like Lila. The 'L' names seem very different in style to the 2 others.

MrsNextDoor · 12/05/2015 11:23

Not Luna.

I like Lyra best. Luna-tic.

scarletforya · 12/05/2015 11:25

Lyra.

Not Luna, it's awful and yes there will be 'Loony' 'jokes'.

DramaAlpaca · 12/05/2015 13:28

Lara or Lyra

Allthatnonsense · 12/05/2015 13:57

Lara

How about Lydia? It's beautiful, classic and much less popular than your other choices.

Sophronia · 12/05/2015 15:03

I like Lila, Lara and Iris.
