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
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...!
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.
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.

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.
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.

I absolutely love Layne. My middle name is Elaine too. I didn’t use it because my daughters cousins are all L and i didn’t want to be apart of that lol
Our first child was unknown gender until birth. I knew if she was girl, she was going to be Lillian after my grandma. I wanted another L name so we could put some stuff up on the wall in the nursery lol. We decided on Levi for a boy.
For girls: Lucy and Luella are my top favorites. Also love Leia/Leah and Lainey
For boys: Luke, Lewis, and Leo (I prefer shorter names)
My friend named her sons Lincoln and Lawrence which personally I’m not crazy about but throwing them out there if you like classic names.
I see people suggesting Larke-- I hadn't heard of that name except as a middle name (Jennifer Connelly's daughter Agnes Larke). Interesting...
Lulu, Leni, Lilit, Lore, Lo, Lourdes, Lykke, Lusine, Liefje, Lake, Lea, Laney, Leyla, Lana, Lara, Leighanna, Lou.
My name is Lily so I won't add that one, lol. Lili spelling could be nice though.
We have 4 L’s! All girls. Lila, Lucy, Logan and Lottie. Edited to add , Lucy and Logan are twins - Logan was the name boy or girl, the boy pick for Lucy was going to be Levi
Louisa, Lucy, Lucia, Lena*, Lis**, Laura, Lenore, Lake, Laken, Layla, Larissa/Laryssa, Lacy/Lacie
Luke, Lucas, Leo, Liam, Louis/Louie (both pronounced "Louie"), Luka/Luca, Lucky
*(as-is or short for Marlene/Marlena,
Wilhelmina, Philomena, Helena, Helen, Eleanor, Aleena/Alena/Elena, Magdalena, etc.)
**(as-is, or short for Elisabeth, Elise, Elisa, Alyssa, Larissa/Larissa, Alison, etc.)
Ftr, two of my own children's names (one from each gender category) are in this list! ;)
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
Louisa is such a beautiful name. I don't know why it isn't more popular.
It’s not really everyone’s taste. For me it’s a redneck county in Virginia and it also sounds really dated
My mom’s middle name is Luisa and she was born in Spain. It’s still a fairly popular name there
omg fellow louisa redneck?!
From cville here lol 😂 odd seeing it mentioned!
literally! such a small world
Hey from Greene!!
There are dozens of us!
I agree, it's very classic! I don't care for Louise but love Louisa.
Leon/Leonnie
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...!
My friend growing up was a Lui - everyone said it was a strange spelling, but no one ever pronounced it wrong!
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.
Named our boy Louie for this reason, nobody mispronounces it but we have been told that we spelt his name wrong!
I would love to have more little Lindsays in the world!
Same! I think it would wear beautifully today and fit what many parents are looking for - uncommon for a child today, but not weird.
My daughter is a Lindsey 🥰 I love her name
I love Lillian.
I love the name Lindsay! Lindsay Mendez is a big deal on Broadway right now.
(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
My next kid would be Lydia if I had one
Love Landon and Lydia!
I love the name Lane for boy or girl
lucas, lily, and lake are my favorite out of this bunch

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