Baby boy names with "L" sounds in them

We're stuck trying to find a name for our baby boy due in a month. I guess we'll know when he arrives... but in the meantime we don't hate the following:

Arlo
Blake
Clay
Elliot
Leo
Louis
Oliver

What do you think of them? We like names that contain the letter L by the sound of it!

Love Elliott but DH didn't like it.

I also liked (with L in)

Luke
Lucas
Miles
Daniel
Douglas

DH quite fancied Malcolm for a while as he'd been watching Firefly and was sure the baby world be nicknamed Mal like the captain. I reminded him we were Scottish and he'd probably be Malky....

Like Eliot but my favourite name with L is Ellis. It's my friends name and he's the most handsome, intelligent, funny and humble bloke ever - just after my husband of course x

FlyDragonfly1 · 07/02/2016 13:10

I like all of them apart from Clay and Oliver (but I think I'm in the minority there).

Have you considered Clark? We also had Franklin, Laurence and Lucian on our short list. Good luck Smile

cecilelliott · 07/02/2016 14:15

Love Leo, Oliver, Elliott and Louis (of these, Elliott and Louis seem the least popular generally so sound fresher), and quite like Blake.

Other L names that I love:

Fergal
Connall (sp?)
Alistair
Cillian

IoraRua · 07/02/2016 14:23

I like all of yours bar Arlo, Louis and Oliver.

How about Niall, Colm, Cathal, Elijah, Lenny, Lucian, Alaric, Liam or Fletcher?

What2 · 07/02/2016 14:41

Leander
Leollan

tinofbiscuits · 07/02/2016 15:28

Milo
Albert
Walter
Clive
Wilfred

Miller

Narp · 07/02/2016 19:18

What about:

Levi

Asa (no l but it seems to fit)

Malachi

Leon

Evan

Gabriel

Narp · 07/02/2016 19:19

I like Louis best from your list

Another one:

Laurence

DonaldsDuck · 07/02/2016 19:31

I like Elliot, Louis and Oliver. Elliot probably my favourite.

My boy is called Julien, sometimes Jules which has a nice L sound to it
