Extra Points for Unique, or at least unique spellings of common names and can absolutely be other languages too.

We also need a middle name for a girl too or make it double barrel!

Boys and girls names!

We like Luca, Leo, Leon and I like Londyn as well for boys.

For Girls we like Libby but I feel like it's more of a nickname. I do also like Leona but then I'd never be able to use Leo or Leon. I like Lucky as well but I feel like people would say it's a dog's name.

DH doesn't like Luther or Lazlo. I don't like Lawrence.
We dont like Lexi for girls, not a fan of Lucille either

Not quite an L name but I know a guy called Lex, short for Alexander. Too far off piste? I really like it.

Im sure there's sooo many names that could be nicknamed to L names and have a longer version like for example - Charlotte / Lottie but the names are going alphabetical for tradition so it would have to be an L as the full name but then can be nicknamed to anything!

It's gone J's, K's and now L's to continue it on! :) and I have a son already with an L name haha.
I've suggested having an L name and using the middle name instead or together so that makes it more fun and exciting 😍

Still potential for twins here and we would be so stuck! Specifically for boys though lol

Hahahaha
Well maybe that wasn't worded quite right but It's in order of generations lol
Him and his siblings are all K's, and his parents are J's. I'm not sure how far it goes beyond this but I don't mind as I find it fun to make a tradition or try to keep one going haha.
I'm not sure if the next gen will but if they did it'd be easy for them! They have m's! Haha

Oh I see! I am very relieved for you. Grin

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvv · 04/06/2024 00:18

I have a Leonard, the intention was that he can go by Leo or Leon. He doesn't though 😂

Awww I like that though! I feel like could still go for Leonard and leona as they're not similar too.

Thanks for the idea 😍

Not your point but it’s Laurence. With a W is a surname. I like Laurie but obviously not your vibe.

Sorry to disagree but that's not correct . . . forename and surname can both be spelt with either a U or a W
