Hello everyone, I'm pregnant with girl #2. I seem to love L names, but avoided them with our first because of our last name, which sounds sort of like Lenders. Now I'm thinking maybe the alliteration is worth it because I just can't let go of those names now that we know that this one is a girl. DD is Juliet. Thoughts on:
Lena seems too matchy and Layla Lenders is a lot of L's. Beautiful names but just don't sound right with the LN. I had to give up one of my favorites because it just did not work with our LN. It sucks!
I actually don’t really mind it if it’s a name you love and it doesn’t end up sounding stripper-ish. Lena Lenders sounds like a comic book character or a news anchor, but not in a bad way imo.
A few other L names that are a little less matchy: Lydia, Leah, Lindsay. And a few non L names you might like: Hazel, Piper, Poppy, Cara, Clara, Isla, Amy
Thank you everyone. I really like some of these suggestions! @kimvisioli, your reply made me laugh because I've been trying to use the reporter Lara Logan as evidence that we should do it, so you read my mind! (Although I realize her names aren't as matchy as ours, but still!) Thank you, everyone!

what about names that start with the pronunciation of L instead of the phonetic sound?
