Girls names beginning with L

Hi all,

Wondered if I could get some opinions on these girls names begining with L. Or had any suggestions we might not have thought of.
The middle name will be Iris as it is a family name.
Surname begins with a V and is 4 syllables.

The names on the list are:
Lotta, Livia, Lydia, Louisa, Lena

I quite like Laurie, Libby and Lissy but I think they might be too nicknamey?

Opinions? Ideas?
Happy new year all!

My initial reaction to Lotta, Lissy and Livia would be that they are shortened versions of longer names, but all quite pretty. I love Lena and think it flows well with Iris.

Louise, Laurel, Lorna, Linna, Lauren, Laura?

I like Laurie on it's own, but could be a nn for some of the above.

Kat2000 · 01/01/2021 21:24

Leah or Lorna

HeronLanyon · 01/01/2021 21:26

Adore Lydia
Agree your
Second list other (other than Louisa) are nn.
Agree with pp lotta Livia and Lena are all to my eye nicknames for eg Charlotte carlotta Olivia Helena etc.

I love Lydia, it’s an elegant name and looks lovely written too. Leila,/Layla, Lyla, Lois, Lucy.

Scumble · 01/01/2021 21:28

I like Livia, lovely name - plus her initials will be kind of like a nickname!

Call her Livia as her initials will spell Liv Smile

I like Livia, Lydia and most of all Louisa.

I love Lainey for a girl it's my fave name

Prefer Lottie to Lotta. Also like Lucy, Lola and Lara.

missmouse101 · 01/01/2021 21:39

Louisa is lovely. Lydia is grim. Extremely dated, very harsh sound, especially the 'Lid' syllable. How about Lowenna?

startoes · 01/01/2021 21:40

I like Lydia and Louisa best from your list.
Maybe Liberty, Libby for short?

BlueThistles · 01/01/2021 21:41

I went to school with a Lynelle ... beautiful name .. nice girl .. it's funny how we associate the loveliness of a name by it's namesake lol

DansMaPoche · 01/01/2021 21:43

Lara. Beautiful, simple, elegant and an absolute classic.

DansMaPoche · 01/01/2021 21:44

Doesn't really go with Iris though.

Lois is also beautiful.

namechangenumber204 · 01/01/2021 21:44

Leonie
Leona

Linnea (pronounced Linn-eaah) with the nickname Leah for short. Should have been my daughter’s name. 👌❤️
