Nicknames that start with L

Name Advice
1

[name_f]My[/name_f] spouse and I both have longer more formal names that we only use on official paperwork, but in the day to day we both go by nicknames that start with “L” (think [name_f]Liz[/name_f] for Elizabeth). I think it would be cute to replicate with our kid so I am trying to crowdsource names that don’t start with L but that have “L” nicknames! Our preference is gender neutral names (don’t know baby’s sex yet) and we like nature-y names in general. But for this brainstorm, I’m open to hear anything!
