I'm a 45 year old mum to be, 'surprise" ! (shock)
I already have three grown ups, Lucien, Charlotte and George ( I know) I need something for a girl, fairly classic, beginning with L, does anyone have any ideas? I have been through every online listing. Don't want Lysandra or Lucy or Louise.

Laetitia. Larissa. And another vote for Lydia, lovely name.

(Just now this thread came up in Baby Names between one entitled Maura and one entitled Mackenzie. I did think 'Someone wants to call their kids Stumped? Poor kid. Worse than Balonz' Grin )

Could you perhaps pay tribute to your mother in another way? What did her name mean - perhaps there is another version of it? Or her middle name?

💐Congratulations!

I'm actually not keen on any L names. If it were me I'd find another way to honour your Mum, maybe use her name as your DD's middle name.

I'm sure she'll be a total delight for all of you, whatever you call her 😊

Is your dms surname before she married suitable to use as a name or could you use her second name.
Lee Anne
Or Leanne
My favourite is Lorna

I can't think of any other classic type names beginning with L.
