Long story but I'd really like to find the perfect girl's name that begins with 'L', the only ones out are Lucy/Lucia/Luciana. I'd be interested to have some of your fab suggestions please.

Thanks

OP, Lucia is lovely. The feminist in me also likes Lilith.

I'm also cheering for a Lisa comeback! All the Lisas I've ever know have been very sorted no-nonsense women. Plus there's the added bonus of having Ian Hunter's seminal "Lisa Likes Rock & Roll" as your DD's personal soundtrack

thumbwitch · 17/05/2009 00:20

I'm guessing that the OP has a family member with the name Lucy/Lucia or something like that, not that she hates the names?

Presumably that knocks Lucille out of the running as well? And Lucianne?

ThePlanningCommittee · 17/05/2009 00:27

Oops, thanks thumbwitch - didn't read OP very well.

Now I am on a music tip with Ian Hunter and Lisa, I can't help thinking about Lucretia lol [does Goth dance wreathed in dry ice]

sockmonster · 17/05/2009 10:52

Hello thanks all, bit concerned about Ladonna and Lettice

DD was Lucía (loo-see-a, not loo-chee-a!) argh but we lost her not long ago after a long stay in hospital and I am pregnant which is very strange timing, and wanted a name that sort of honours her, but isn't too similar as I'm sure no.2 wouldn't thank me. Though secretly I want to call dc2 Lucia too, it may be frowned upon!

Thanks for your suggestions!

sockmonster, sorry to hear about your DD1

What about Laurena (LauRENa) - similar Spanish feel to Lucia (which is beautiful btw).

Lauretta is sweet too.

Louisa, shortened to Luie is sweet too...I love 'L' names.

My favourite name for a girl is Ilya/Illy - doesn't start with L, but has a similar sound I think.

thumbwitch · 17/05/2009 12:39

so for you sockmonster - can I suggest Alicia - sounds a little like Lucia without being too close?

oysterpots · 18/05/2009 14:17

How about Luisa (the spanish spelling)?
