Almost any L- name will work, or one with a strong L sound in the middle
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Leandra[/name_f]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Elianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliora[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] best friend is [name_f]Lacey[/name_f], but her family call her by the nickname [name_f]Lil[/name_f] that started from here older sister called her [name_m]Little[/name_m] one- [name_f]Lil[/name_f] one. I honestly don’t even think you need a [name_f]Lil[/name_f] name to get to the nickname as I think [name_f]Lil[/name_f] is equally a pet name.

Thanks for that advice @mauvebird and @averelladevina
The one I like is olivia but went I’ve floated it, the response has been that it’s too much of a stretch for a name with well-used nicknames (ie [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Livy[/name_f] etc). Thoughts?

[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilyana[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] could work, it has the Li part of [name_f]Lil[/name_f] together and it would differentiate her from the [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Liv[/name_f]/[name_f]Livy[/name_f]. I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch compared to other nicknames I have seen :slight_smile:
