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

Sorry to hear about your dd

I know how you mean about wanting to call the next one the same - it was quite normal practice in Victorian times (I have found several examples in my family tree) but not the done thing these days.

How about

Louisa has the same softness and ring but is different

Like idea of Alicia too

Bobblebuddy · 20/05/2009 09:58

Yes, Louisa is gorgeous and echoes your dd's name nicely.

I am so sorry to hear your story

Poppity · 20/05/2009 10:27

So sorry to hear about your daughter.

Lark is lovely, chamomile.

I know you said an L, but what about-

Dulcia, pronounced in the same way (dul SEE ah), meaning 'sweet'.

I knew a german girl called-

Liv, pronounced as leaf. It means 'life'.

Lucette or Lucetta which mean 'little light' (I'm sure you know already that Lucia means 'light').

EachPeachPearMum · 20/05/2009 16:12

So sorry to hear about your dd

Lux
Louisa/Luisa
Lorelei
Laurel

oysterpots · 21/05/2009 13:10

Or how about Sofia? Not L, I know, but sort of 'reads' the same as Lucia...

seeker · 21/05/2009 13:17

Leah
Laura
Lydia

sockmonster · 21/05/2009 16:21

Hello everyone thought I'd come back and have a peek at your suggestions. Thanks for all of them. Not sure what the sex is of dc2, to be honest, but am 'feeling' girl at the moment. Anyway, your suggestions are fantastic.

I am sort of leaning towards either an L name, like Laura, Louisa or Liliana, or a name that is sort-of similar in sound, like Alicia, Sofia, Maria.... (prefer Lucia though!! )

it's probably a boy anyway!

Sorry to hear about your DD Sockmonster.

Friend of a friend has a daughter called Louie which I think is lovely.

qumquat · 21/05/2009 17:54

I love L names! My faves are:

Laura (my name!)
Lola
Lyra
Lila/Lyla
Leila
Lorelai

And I don't think I can get away with any of them cos they're too similar to my name!
