Girls names beginning with L

[BrightonR]

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!

Lois

I wouldn’t use the names on your B list as they are all nicknames. I like Livia and Lydia best of your A list.

Other names I don’t think have been mentioned yet are:

Linden
Lavinia
Laverne
Lavender
Laurette
Luella/Louella
Lucretia/Lucretia

If you like Ludmila, what about Ludovica? Or Ludivine?

Livia and Lydia are both lovely.

Lucy
Lucilla
Lucinda
Laura
Lara
Larissa
Lamorna
Lilah
Linnet
Lorelei
Lucasta
Loredana

Lilliana
Lexi
Lottie

Livvy or Libby I would pick out if your options

I like Lydia!
Also I knew a lovely Lisette when I was a child, so have always liked the name.

Lotta, Livia, Lydia, Louisa, Lena

I like Livia, Louisa and Lena from that list.

Lera (pronounced le (rhymes Witt there and ra rhymes with car)

From everything mentioned I thing Lydia & Lucia are the most beautiful.

(Laverne - no!)

Lorelli, Lucille, Lorna, Laura

Letitia...also like lydia

1. Lotta - Will get "Lot a ..." jokes, not a name that works in the UK really
2. Livia - I really like it but seems to be a marmite name

2/3. Lydia - nice and classic 2/3. Louisa - as above, nice and classic feeling

1. Lena - more of a nn in the UK (unlike in Europe) but it's useable

Laurie, Libby and Lissy - yes much too nickname.

My favorite L names are Lilia and Lara, as I think they have a lovely sound (although I also have a soft spot for classic Laura, exotic Linnea and romantic Lorna as well).

Larissa,
Leonora (apparenyly my 3 year old has a new friend at nursery called this),
Louise/louisa
Lydia
Lisette
Lucille Nn Lucy
Loretta

The Lydia at my school got called Chlamydia...

Lara.

Lydia
Lucille
Lois (but doesn’t go with iris)
Lillia

These are the L names I like

Leona
Lyvia
Lara
Lois

Leonie
Lisette
Linnea
Lynette
Lark

Thanks for all your input.

The Lydia/Chlamydia thing I had not realised. Lydia is my middle name. But I can't seem to unhear it!

I like Lucia but I know quite a lot of Lucy and Lucies. Also DPs Italian family would pronounce it differently to the German and English family.

We are looking at the ideas together :)

I also knew a Swedish Linnea... I hadn't thought about it but will add to the list

Good luck OP! 😃

Don't think Lotta works here. Too many jokes. Plus I think it's the jug that people use to wash their bottoms in India/Middle East?

Lorra lorra laughs here at that villamariavintrap
