L names for boys

Which of these do you like, if any???

Ledger- My favorite right now. I love that it is unique but still feels strong
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]- I’d call him [name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_u]Leland[/name_u]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_u]Layne[/name_u]
[name_u]Leland[/name_u]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Loyal[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]

is wonderful, and I love [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]/[name_m]Linc[/name_m].

[name_u]Layne[/name_u] misspelled unless family name?

[name_u]Leland[/name_u] is cool, but the name of a horrible killer on a show I used to watch, so I can’t personally get past that. Otherwise, I would like it.

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is cool too, maybe [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] as nickname?

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is cute, but maybe getting common?

[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] is a great trait, but maybe a hard name to bear?

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] is my favorite.

A big, fat vote for [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. I’ve always adored this name. Simple, strong, masculine…he’s as athlete, an academic, a CEO, an artist. The perfect name, in my opinion.

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] is easily my favourite of these. I love it. I’ve considered using it myself. I’d use [name_u]Sander[/name_u] for short.

[name_m]Luke[/name_m] is fine but not really my thing.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is NMS but I like a lot of the related names.

Unlisted L’s I like: [name_m]Leon[/name_m], [name_m]Leonardo[/name_m], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], [name_m]Lev[/name_m], [name_m]Leib[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Llewellyn[/name_m].

Ledger- nms
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]- getting too popular for me
[name_m]Link[/name_m] - not a name in my book
[name_u]Leland[/name_u] - nice!
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] - nms
[name_u]Layne[/name_u] - looks to trendy. [name_u]Lane[/name_u] or [name_u]Laine[/name_u] would be better imo.
[name_u]Leland[/name_u] - very handsome
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]- different. I like it.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - I like it but not enough to use it
[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] - not at all.
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] - don’t like it
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] - Nice.

You have some great choices on this list!

Ledger - If you love a name, I say stick with it. For me, this name literally makes me think of a book, or financial ledger :slight_smile:
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] - agree that this seems to be getting popular, fwiw
[name_u]Leland[/name_u] - good, just be sure you are okay with [name_u]Lee[/name_u] as the nickname
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] - GREAT, I feel like this perfectly straddles the line of unique, but not weird
[name_u]Layne[/name_u] - agree with another poster that I would go with [name_u]Lane[/name_u] as the spelling, but it’s a good name
[name_m]Leander[/name_m] - a little too “knights of the round table for me”
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - v. popular
[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] - nms
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] - same comment as [name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] - also good

Good luck!

[name_m]Luke[/name_m] is my favorite from your list. I love the idea of [name_m]Loyal[/name_m] as a middle name, although I’m a sucker for virtue names. They get a lot of undeserved hate. I also really like [name_m]Leander[/name_m] from your list.

[name_u]Lionel[/name_u]
[name_m]Lemuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Linus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Leif[/name_m]
[name_m]Langston[/name_m]
[name_u]Lyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Larson[/name_m]
[name_u]Lake[/name_u]
[name_m]Locke[/name_m]
[name_m]Luther[/name_m]

My favorites are

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]- nn [name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]

I also like [name_m]Langston[/name_m], [name_m]Lennox[/name_m], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], [name_m]Lucius[/name_m], in case you’re looking for more L’s! :slight_smile:

Another vote for [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. And I also really like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] - when it’s a nn for something more formal.

I think these names would be fine for first names. My faves are bolded.

[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]
[name_u]Leland[/name_u]
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]

These names would be better in the middle spot

Ledger
[name_m]Link[/name_m]
[name_u]Layne[/name_u]
[name_m]Loyal[/name_m]

Ledger- just makes me think of accountants keeping ledgers
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]- okay, I don’t hate it.
[name_u]Leland[/name_u] - hate it, right up there with [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m] and [name_m]Floyd[/name_m] and [name_m]Dwight[/name_m] in my book
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] - nice, I like
[name_u]Layne[/name_u] - the Y makes it feel feminine (and trendy)
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]- different. I like it.
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] - I like it a lot
[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] - meh, maybe as a mn
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] - I’m not a fan of this one
[name_m]Luke[/name_m] - been a favorite for a long time. I knew a very nice guy named [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as a teenager and it’s always left a good impression with me.

My favorite L is probably [name_m]Levi[/name_m].
I like [name_m]Lance[/name_m] as well.

I like [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Levon[/name_m], Lleighton, [name_m]Lloyd[/name_m], [name_m]Luther[/name_m], [name_m]Lazlo[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m], and [name_m]Leopold[/name_m].

I like:
[name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u] (with this spelling)
[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]

Out of these I actually do like Ledger. In spite of the “ledger book” thing. I think it sounds strong and a little bit cutting-edge - I think the -ER names for boys are going to be the next big thing.

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] is also a great name, I like it.

[name_m]Loyal[/name_m] is a surprising virtue name that works. Thumbs up.

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] intrigues me too, even though I think it will be mispronounced.

The others don’t do much for me.
