First name for 'k'-heavy surname

Girl Names
1

Hello all!

Our surname is two syllables long and sounds like ‘Cookman’. I am not pregnant - just gathering names for when the time comes! Both of our middle names begin with ‘[name_f]Lu[/name_f]’, so I think it would be sweet if our child shared that with us - I just can’t seem to find any names at the moment starting with ‘[name_f]Lu[/name_f]’ that fit with our criteria. Any suggestions, name combos, or other help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for your suggestions! There are so many combos I love above!

I’m looking for just one middle name.

For some reason I completely missed [name_f]Lumina[/name_f] and [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] when I was looking through my list for ‘[name_f]Lu[/name_f]’ names! I would ideally like either of those names in the middle spot. [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] is especially sweet because it means ‘snow’, and I love that!

Please keep leaving suggestions… :slight_smile:

[name_m]Just[/name_m] popping in with some more ‘lu’ suggestions - [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Lupita[/name_f], [name_f]Luciana[/name_f], [name_f]Luanda[/name_f], [name_f]Lucerna[/name_f], [name_f]Lucilla[/name_f], [name_f]Lucindy[/name_f], Lucienna, [name_f]Luetta[/name_f], [name_f]Lugenia[/name_f], Lusina, Louisina, [name_f]Lulita[/name_f], [name_f]Luminosa[/name_f], [name_f]Lunetta[/name_f], [name_f]Lurana[/name_f], Lusilla, Lutana, [name_f]Luvena[/name_f], [name_f]Luwana[/name_f]

Or to get around the two-syllable issue, maybe a double barrel middle name like: [name_f]Lula[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Lula[/name_f]-[name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Lula[/name_f]-[name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]-[name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]-[name_u]Ray[/name_u], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]-[name_u]Leigh[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_u]Rae[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_u]Wynn[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]-[name_f]Joy[/name_f]

You could also expand the criteria to any name with a strong ‘lu’ sound (not just starting with it) – like [name_f]Bluebelle[/name_f], Plumeria, [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f]-[name_u]Lou[/name_u], [name_f]Anna[/name_f]-[name_f]Louise[/name_f], Altaluna, [name_f]Blume[/name_f], [name_f]Eluned[/name_f], [name_f]Guadalupe[/name_f], [name_f]Illuminata[/name_f], [name_f]Stellaluna[/name_f], [name_f]Melusine[/name_f]
