Too Many L's?

thewayiam · June 2011

I've not been thinking much about names yet - too early. But the other day I was reading a names list and realized that the girl names that popped out and appealed to me all had a lot of L's in them. Our last name is two syllables with ll in the middle, so I wondered, do these sound terrible?

Isla ___ll___

Ella __ll___

Lilah __ll___

Lily __ll___

I am trying to think of what your last name could be like with each name so I think Lily would be too much L's. If that makes sense haha

I like all of those names. I prefer Isla spelled Islay (like the Island) but that is just me, I think Isla is more accepted. I really like Lilah and Lily.

I loke al the names as well....I have a Lily (MN) I dont like Lilah when its pronounced in the south though....ppl tend to exaggerate the LY sound rather than the LI sound. Im southern but hate incorrect use of words. I like Isla the best, Lily nest, Ella, then Lilah. I dont think its too many L's though

We have a double ll in our ln too. I have found that for the most part, a fn with an "l" in it is totally fine however a lot depends on the vowels in your ln. Our dominant vowel is a short "i" so Lily would sound like overkill whereas Lilah, Isla, Ella or any other name without a short "i" would sound lovely.

I think one l would be okay in the first name but two might become an l overdose especially paired with your last name.
