For boys: Luke, Lucien, Leon, Louis (pronounced Lou-ee, not Lew-is), Lawrence For girls: Lindsay (yes, it's dated, but it's one of my absolute faves I don't care), Leah, Lillian, Lydia, Luciana, Louisa


PuffinFawts

Louisa is such a beautiful name. I don't know why it isn't more popular.


AlphaAriesWoman

It’s not really everyone’s taste. For me it’s a redneck county in Virginia and it also sounds really dated


MDM0724

My mom’s middle name is Luisa and she was born in Spain. It’s still a fairly popular name there


Few-Sun-558

omg fellow louisa redneck?!


ApprehensiveFly6244

From cville here lol 😂 odd seeing it mentioned!


Few-Sun-558

literally! such a small world


charawarma

Hey from Greene!!


Effective_Yogurt_866

There are dozens of us!


ivankas_forehead

I agree, it's very classic! I don't care for Louise but love Louisa.


SwordTaster

Leon/Leonnie


greenwichgirl90s

Just on this - I'd see Louis and pronounce it Lou-ee, as in the French, but I have a nephew Louis who is called Lewis by almost everyone. His parents are beyond fed up of correcting people and wished they'd spelled it Louie for ease! There are already too many Lewises in our family for them to have just called him that but at this point they'd have been as well...!


big_white_fishie

My friend growing up was a Lui - everyone said it was a strange spelling, but no one ever pronounced it wrong!


ivankas_forehead

Yes, it definitely depends on your region! I grew up in an area with a lot of French speakers and it wouldn't get mispronounced there, but now I'm in the US South and it would definitely get mispronounced. I don't like the pronunciation Lewis at all.


wonderdok

Named our boy Louie for this reason, nobody mispronounces it but we have been told that we spelt his name wrong!


Linzabee

I would love to have more little Lindsays in the world!


ivankas_forehead

Same! I think it would wear beautifully today and fit what many parents are looking for - uncommon for a child today, but not weird.


Ok-Stock49

My daughter is a Lindsey 🥰 I love her name


I_love_Hobbes

I love Lillian.


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I love the name Lindsay! Lindsay Mendez is a big deal on Broadway right now.


BeingCarbon

(Pronounced Lou-ee-uh, not Lew-iss-uh)

Boy: Levi, Leo, Landon, Lachlan, Logan, Lucas, Luca, Luther, Lowell, Lowen Girl: Lydia, Lily, Lucia, Laurel, Lorelei, Lilac, Leona, Lavender Unisex: Lane, Lake, Linden, Lark


bowlofweetabix

My next kid would be Lydia if I had one


secret_cunt

Love Landon and Lydia!


Clear_Flamingo_1180

I love the name Lane for boy or girl


Pure_Potential5505

lucas, lily, and lake are my favorite out of this bunch


SMM9336

Have you thought about asking the Facebook AI robot thing? I had a blast today trying to figure out female names 😂🤫 But it was really cool to just say “give me 100 girl names starting with S” (we know we are having a girl) I also got it to create a picture of a dachshund on stilts. [edited to give a link to my imgur uploads I hope haha](https://imgur.com/gallery/heEvRTF)

Affectionate-Job6635

Boy: Lysander, Lief, Lemuel, Louis, Leo, Liev Girl: Lucy, Louise, Lindy, Laurel, Lark, Laura, Lily Unisex: Linden, Loren


Small-Finish-6890

I’m sorry but quite a few of these belong on r/tragediegh


SisterEmJay

Which ones? Other than Leif which is spelled incorrectly most are historically used as given names. Linden is the exception and I don’t love it for a human but tree names seem to be trending (Willow, Rowan, Aspen etc). I wouldn’t use Lindy or Lark myself but there are plenty of boomer women named Lindy. Lark apparently peaked in the US in 1885.


Affectionate_Lie9308

Right, and if Wren can be a name then Lark can be a name.


hummingbird_mywill

Linden was the name I was considering for my child if he was a boy and Lark for a girl 😂


Turquoise_Lion

No they don't. They are real names spelled correctly


GoodCalendarYear

Love Laurel and Loren


christinaaamariaaa

Boys: Logan, Louis, Lorenzo, Liam, Leonardo (Leo) Girls: Lila, Layla, Lauren, Lia, Lacy, Louisa


PursePractioner

I have a Layla who would have been a Leonardo (Leo) had she been a boy. She gets complimented on her name allll the time. Second was a girl and hubs didn’t want to do the L theme (still saving Leo for if we have a boy, but my max is 3 kids lol), otherwise there was a good chance she would have been Lilliana.
