Need thoughts on more L girl names.
I woke up this morning with the name Liberty in my head, no idea why. But I decided today that I needed more name options. So I'm going through 437 L girl names. Right now I'm thinking I only want to use Liberty if I deliver on the 4th of July, it seems too odd to use otherwise. Maybe I'm wrong, what does everyone think? But wouldn't the nickname for Liberty be Libby? And Libby and Lily (my DD3) sound way too similar. But why would I wake up with it in my head? I'm worried it would be made fun of too much though.
I like the name Layla, but there seems to be way too many spelling variations for my taste. I already have to spell all of my girls' names for people and our last name. Is that just the way it is now, that all names have more than one spelling variation so it has to be spelled out?
Three out of my 4 girls now have names that end in -e so I'm trying to avoid those. But I'm half-way considering -ette or -etta names, because I have one daughter with -enne and one with -elle. So maybe Lucetta, Loretta, or Lynette.
The names that were already on my list are Laney, Lauren, Lucia, Lovisa, and Lorelei (I'm thinking of taking the last 2 off though). I also kind of like Lena and Lucinda.
I showed my husband my orginal name list and asked him what he thought. As usual he didn't say anything. He never has any input until the end, and at least not until after the gender ultrasound.
So I guess for right now my list is Liberty, Layla, Lucetta, Loretta, Lynette, Laney, Lauren, Lucia, Lena, and Lucinda. What are everyone's thoughts and opinions?

Layla, spelled like that! I also like Lucia, Lauren third. I suppose Laney is quite nice too. Not too much help there from me but that is how I would cut it in half!

I think I agree with you on the top picks. Except I'm thinking of taking Lauren off, because of how it sounds with our last name. I'm really liking Laney the best today, Lucia second, and Layla third, and maybe I'll throw Lena in there for today. But all of the longer names just aren't rubbing me right for some reason.

The Liberty thing reminds me of the movie where the girl gives birth in walmart and names her Americus. Landry?

I adore Lucia - unfortunately I had twin boys - so I ended up calling one of them Luca! However, I also had Liberty Grace on my list it sounded really good with our surname. My DH thought it was weird though. Laney is pretty but it makes me think of Laney from that Sex in the City episode about the girl who was famous for flashing her chest and the girls go to her baby shower! I quite like Lucinda too but I knew a mean girl in college called Lucinda so it never got onto my list. What about Lucy or Lucille?

I really like Layla and Lena. Laney is nice but sounds like a nickname (e.g. for Alaina). My short list included Lila--love it! I'm not really a fan of liberty (though libby is nice)--but I actually don't like any names of that type (destiny, charity, chasity, etc.).

I vote Laney, cause it is similar to Lacey. I also like Lucy too.
